Maybe the title of the article should be, "As Nuclear Tensions Rise on Korean Peninsula Asian, top Go player finds ways to leave Peninsula".

Or if you preferred a minimalistic style, you could have simply gone with "Lee Sedol".

The subject says the USA just became much stronger... but this is around three years away and a lot can change in three years.

I hope it eventually does happen, but the subject seems misleading to me.

Every time I see this kind of statement, it reminds me of the sweet chess saying: "our russians are better than your russians!"

GAH! That is good!

The timing of the announcement along with North Korea detonating its third nuclear test, just reminded me of this Onion article.

Or the Cold War saying, "Our German scientists are better than your German scientists." ;)
