Massive preliminary tournament going on with some interesting results.

Very interesting indeed!!!!!
Kong Jie, Jiang Weijie and Chang Hao were knocked out of tournament.
Also 9p from japan was defeated by amateur.

Some players from Japan and Taiwan didn't attend the tournament because they worried about South and North Korea situation.
