Yes, it is available in english

I realized later that this korean guys seem to deploy websites by copy-and-paste since in several parts of the page in English says it is "3rd Korean Prime Minister Cup" .. and even the banner says 4th Korean Prime Minister Cup

I can't find any updates on the tournament, which should have already had three rounds by now. If anyone finds them, they should provide a link.

thanks

An update for the monolingual: Korea had 7 wins, China, Japan and the US had 6, while Ukraine, Taiwan and some others had 5. I don't know whether the ranking of 2-4 and so on were done by SOS, head to head, or some other method.

That's pretty awesome for Jie Liang--it seems much better to be in the top four based purely on wins rather than SOS.

I spent the nights over wbaduk and collected all the published games except round 6.. and one or two that transmition just fell down after 6-10 movements.
Also in one game in the last round the colors of the players were wrong.
I must say, by the way, that people who reproduce the games while played sometimes have the bad habit of analyzing the game for themselves so you see one development and in any moment, the game just turn out to something completely different.

ALL the games are already converted to .sgf

As long as I know now the tournament is over there's no problem sharing them, since the Copy-rights issues are related to live reproduction of them in other servers..

If I am wrong about, please let me know before we can share them

It seems official results are still not online. One participant took the following picture of the result sheet:

Final table in "european format" : http://kamyszyn.go.art.pl/kpmc2010
Probably tomorrow results should be available on EGD.

How can this be B class? As far as I know, main time was 30 minutes, and it is only good for C class than.

_________________

B class was EGD supervisor decision. Most likely because of this "World championship" thing (also few previous KPMC was rated as B).

I think B class is reasonable, because of the long byoyomi (3x30s). Although the basic time falls short, the adjusted time does qualify for B.

I think 30m + 3x30s is in fact a more relaxed tempo than 40m + 1x15s, which would qualify for B class.

Wow, check out Artem's performance! His only two losses were against Korea and Japan, but he won against Jiang Lie (US, 7d), Li Ryan (CA, 5d) and Liu Guyu (AU, 7d). IMO, even more impressive than Jiang Lie's 6 wins - Jiang Lie did not face ANY 7d players and lost to Artem...

But it becomes even more impressive because Artem is so young!

Yes, it's a nice one for the rules geeks, but Artem's performance looks better.
