Life In 19x19

Lee Sedol won the 5th game by resign and got 3rd BC card cup. In early stage, Gu Li played some strange move at upper side causing demise.

Lee Sedol wins!

Here's the game record and some photos from the fifth game:
3rd BC Card Cup - Game 5 - Gu Li vs Lee Sedol

very exciting game to watch.

for the beginners:
if black and white didnt trade group at the end it would have been about 3.5 point win for black.(which is a safe margin at their level)
white tried hard by making things complicated but black simply exchanged group and maintained safe margin.

just to show you how thin the winning margin was.

Finally Lee Sedol won.

I noticed Lee sedol was very concentrated for territory only. He avoid some fighting, and Gu li, is better on fighting.

I thought thee exchange was a bit better for black.

Anyway, I'm glad this series went the full five games. They were all very entertaining.

For anyone who still wants more, Younggil has commented game 4 of the BC Card Cup.

This game shows that Lee Sedol can play a calm and solid game when he's ahead.
