22nd LG Cup

Anyway, he's sitting at world ranked no.3 right now and I'll watch this ranking happily all day cause it might change (for worse) after tomorrow's result comes.

One more interesting, Cho Chikun was the commentator in yesterday so I'm wondering that he's the commentator for all big events because he's funny? I'll watch relay game from go server tomorrow but would love to see the game live if it broadcast anywhere!

No.3? I see he's ranked at no. 27 or lower.

While you're being polite enough, this topic is sufficiently contentious that we have a dedicated thread for arguing about it: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=13750. That was mostly because of a particular troll who is long gone, but it seems like a good policy.

Since there are no korean players anymore Baduk tv is no gonna stream this event, is there any free stream ? Chinese are japanese ?

Game Ke Jie/Iyama.

Ke Jie indeed goes for 2 san-san, but Iyama does play a 4-4 and even decides to take the outside with the high Chinese fuseki.

Ke Jie's move 22 also seems to be inspired by what Fan Hui showed him in the review of his games with Alpha Go.

Now I think the outcome depends on how good B can attack the W group. The lower side also seems to have some bad aji.

I would say the game is a bit better for Ke Jie at the time .

At move 162 FineArt estimate Black winrate for 95.6% Now where is my champagne??!!!!!

[xiayun]

Did Ke Jie miss the tesuji that Iyama played to extend his two black stones and ended up killing the entire white group on the bottom right?

[pookpooi]

Meanwhile Xie Erhao win in another match by resignation

[xiayun]

Black made a mess on the upper left, allowing the dead white stones to not just escape, but capture the two black stones in the mean time.

[pookpooi]

Iyama Yuta win!!

[kimidori]

Yes, Iyama indeed made life complicated for him, but finally he still won!

Congrats to him and all his fans here

Final match 2018 February 5, 7, (and 8 if necessary).

Does feel happy for Iyama Yuta. Definitely pulling for Ke Jie to win Shinyao Cup though.

[WindCaliber]

Wow, I'm very surprised that Ke Jie was beaten, with W no less, by Iyama Yuta! Happy for him though, and I'm hoping he can take the win for Japan!

Does feel happy for Iyama Yuta. Definitely pulling for Ke Jie to win Shinyao Cup though.

Peng Liyao doesn't seem to be in good form lately, but then again I guess Ke Jie isn't doing so great either(relatively).
