As some of you know, I am a fan of Ke Jie. A friend just alerted me that there are Weiqi TV videos featuring him and other top pros playing speed-rengo. They are great fun, but make me wish I spoke Mandarin.
In this one he and Mi Yuting play Shi Yue and Lian Xiao. It features an unorthodox opening, and a dramatic ending. Great fun.
He and Mi Yuting play a more normal looking game against Kong Jie and Zhou Ruiyang here.
There are more videos in that series, too.
Enjoy!

Re: Top Pro 10 Second Rengo Video
Very interesting that attachment by Mi Yuting (who smiled as he played it) inside the 6-4 stone (about 22 minutes in). It rather goes against normal how-to-approach-corner principles and plays into hane at head of 2 bad shape, but because the 6-4 is so much further away from the corner than normal you actually get quite a sizeable corner territory in exchange for the big influence you give:
I also recall a game Lee Sedol played against a high stone, maybe a 5-5, in which he played a similar attachment inside to get a big corner in exchange for a big wall. Go is such a vast game

I am pretty sure the game you refer to has Lee Sedol also playing the 5-4 attachment to a 6-4 stone played by Gan Siyang.Uberdude wrote:Very interesting that attachment by Mi Yuting (who smiled as he played it) inside the 6-4 stone (about 22 minutes in).

Re: Top Pro 10 Second Rengo Video
Right you are! And the same sequence happens as in this game except with extend instead of jump on 3rd line at end.cdybeijing wrote: I am pretty sure the game you refer to has Lee Sedol also playing the 5-4 attachment to a 6-4 stone played by Gan Siyang.

Re: Top Pro 10 Second Rengo Video
Excellent game. Thanks for the link wineandgolover! 
Viewers be warned there is fully 20 minutes of chit-chat at the beginning that you might want to skip over if you do not speak Chinese!
