Championship Notes

After 231 games from 79 fixtures between 35 players in 9 teams, the 2018 Women's Korean Baduk League comes to a close with Chungnam (SG Golf) winning the championship.

A testament to Choi Jeong 9p's strength
On board 2, it was time for Kim Dayoung 3p to avenge her lost last round for the team. Taking black, she took a territorial tone until :b39:, chiming a pincer from white.

The game turned dark for black when white cut at :w64:.

Even at move 89, she may have limped the five central stones out but decided against it, tending to the bottom-side via exchange with a taxing to manage attachment. Unfortunately for black, it didn't amount to enough, and white resigned in only 128 moves.



Song Hyeryung 2p seals the deal
While it's hard overstate the amount of pressure Yeosu (Turtle Ship)'s first board must have been under, it couldn't have been placed it more experienced hands for the team, Lee Minjin 8p. With both players stinging from respective losses the previous day, Lee Minjin 8p's undoubtly a whole lot harder as it cost, in part at least, the team's victory— she did in fact move too bluntly, and without showing the power necessary to defeat Song Hyeryung 2p.



However, Chungnam (SG Golf) were not the only special winners. In addition to Kim Cheayoung 4p 25 win bouquet, Cho Hyeyeon 9p also recieved a bouqet for achieving 1000 career games.

As the Women's League finishes, the Seniors's starts. Not being quite as familiar with a lot of the older professionals, I may be even more lacking in my commentary, but hopefully, whenever you feel like giving up on go, you can come back to the seniors page and gain some inspiration! Two years ago, when I didn't see result tables for the Women's League on Kazuki Kamizuru's amazing website, and thought, having benefited from it, to contribute a little on something others may find as interesting as myself.
If the notes on round 14's fixture sounded, perhaps, a little insensitive, it may be I only did not want to colour the notes. But in all honesty, Cho Hyeyeon 9p's one of my favorite professionals.

Week 1 Notes
Start, action!
And the sight of some classic joseki.

Ginseng boost
The time limit for all boards, starting simultaneously, clock 30 minutes main time plus three times 40 seconds per move. The season's win one went to Kim Dongyeop 9p by four-and-a-half points in 234 moves.

Kim Soojang 9p secured the fixture after an exciting game, a promising start to Eumseong Ginseng's target for halfway, and his hopes to have top spot, on the team and individual leagues.

Fate
CyberOrO suffered misfortune at the hands of Bucheon Fantasia, when a major middlegame mistake by Na Jonghoon 8p lost custody of a key captured white group in the centre. After Kim JongJoon 7p's win, Kim Ilhwan 9p was quick to follow the feat defeating Park Yeongchan 5p by resignation.

Defending champions KH Energy dealt a swift blow to Samcheok Sea cable car, despite a chance for Cho Daehyeon 9p to win a reversal against the undefeatable Cho Chikun 9p, it slipping from under his fingers in a bitter loss, to cleanly clasp round 1's fixture.

Week 2 Notes
Clear wins

Relentless
Seo Bongsoo 9p was first to offset the score, and Kim Kihun 7p followed when Na Jonghoon 8p negleted a chance in the middle-game setting Sangju as winners of the fixture, but not missing mishap. Unaware of the relevant (and possibly new) regulations regarding going away, a walk of relief left Seo Bongsoo 9p with one of two warnings which could leave him disqualified!

Finishing within minutes of each other, Bucheon Fantasia found no headway against Eumseong Ginseng, giving 44.5 points on board 2 and one-and-a-half each in Quater-Finalist King Jimmy Cha 5p's reversal win and Kim Dongyeop 9p's ascension by central survival.

Avoiding a losing streak
Directors' caution in avoiding consecutive losses in the opening rounds rings of worry for CyberOrO, but Kim Dongmyeon 9p and Kim Chongsu 8p took charge of the fixture for Yeongam in a clear win and walled game respectively, and Oh Kyuchul 9p topping Cho Daehyeon 9p as Samcheok's consolation after aptly handling his opponent's overplays.

Week 3 Notes

Early errands

Control of the game
Sangju got off to a good start when Seo Bongsoo 9p won over Kim Dongmyeon 9p, the latter losing in 192 moves, when not responding well to Seo Bongsoo 9p's impressive opening play.

Bucheon Fantasia were quick to return the favour, An Kwanwuk 9p winning in similar fashion over Paek Seongho 9p. Notwithstanding, the fixture would have to wait till third board's finish to determine a winner.

Kim Kihun 7p couldn't control all his groups or grasp the chances to win, giving Bucheon Fantasia the victory after falling short by four-and-a-half to Kim JongJoon 7p.

Points
Kim Chongsu 8p collected Yeongam's only win against KH Energy in fixture 2, through Chang Suyeong 9p's self-atari filling dame— but not making the mistake wouldn't have turned a two-and-a-half-point deficit in any case. Cho Chikun 9p and Kang Hun 9p cleanly scored over Oh Kyuchul 9p and Kim Dongmyeon 9p respectively.

CyberOrO secured win number one with Jeong Daesang 9p and Seo Nungwuk 9p settling victorious resignation and 11.5 point scores, Eumseong Ginseng's consolation a large score difference of 26.5 points from 'the professional' Jimmy Cha 5p's game against Na Jonghoon 8p, only Kim JongJoon 7p losing by more so far— 44.5 in round two.
