Got to listen in live for the final of the women's tournament, Yu Zhiying is an amazing player.

Btw there's also video for this tournament with commentary by the same guys (at least one of commented games is not on the KGS Plus list): http://www.youtube.com/user/mindgameschannel/videos They're not in order so you'll need to make use of the cursor if wanting to go in chronological order.

The videos are from 4-5 hrs long so you'll have to do a quick scan through to find the go content. Day 2 and 3 have no go (all I've looked at so far are days 1-4). It's a real treat to be able to see the game with commentary and be able to watch the players at the same time - envy chess players they get this kind platters served up perpetually. Anyway it's awesome when we are provided such and, imo they are a substantial boon for the game, newer players and double digit kyu's generally who by definition wont be able to follow some of the more profound variations will have that something extra to spark/hold interest.
