Hi everyone, I'd like to post some ongoing kifu from Wang Chenxing's match. Wang is probably the strongest female pro in China now and she won this cup last year(it was also called Bingsheng Cup then). Her name Chenxing literally means "morning star". This match was very exciting as she used an unusual opening in such an important tournament, which to be said she got the inspiration from reading Go Seigen's kifu.

Wang Chenxing 5P(Black) Vs. Zhang Zhengping 3P(White)

The Opening:

ko fighting:

64,74 are the same location as 80
65,71,77 are the empty location above 80

ko fighting:

120.126,are the same location as 134
117,129 are the empty location left of 134
121 is the empty location above of 134

White made a ko at A8 to put up some final resistance but lost the ko afterwards.

The endgame goban, Wang Chenxing won her first match, congrats!

sgf is a better way to include game records.

Thanks for the kind suggestion, I'll learn to use it next time. Are the pics above viewable?

Yes, but they are not so easy to navigate and also are a lot of megabytes which is not so nice for people who might be paying/waiting for data on mobile devices.

Thank-you for shairing your excitement Jingliu. We have a thread and several posts about her new opening, for example: Wang Chenxing's new opening.

Please use the tags to add kifu instead of large and multiple images in the future.

Here's an example of the tag with the game record:
