Re: 2013 LG cup
I've just put together a tournament profile for LG cup at:
http://www.go4go.net/go/tournaments/lg
The first final game is at:
http://www.go4go.net/go/games/sgfview/40676
The game is very exciting but rather difficult to understand. I'll see if I can create a few diagrams to explain a bit later.

Re: 2013 LG cup
I compiled the following diagrams from several Chinese sources offering commentary of this game.
The most interesting part of the first finale game in my opinion is the following:
starts a ko fight, ignoring ko threat 
, 
makes the ko much larger, and white decided to ignore the ko threat 
to capture everything to the left side. Now the situation becomes a large scale life & death problem.
attempts to escape. 
is a bad move, after / 
exchange, the big group is already dead - please confirm this, the shape is either a rabbitty six or a bulky five.
here is better. After 
, white can fight the ko at the keep the eye space at 'a' - if winning the ko the shape is a seki, please confirm.
That's why black had to play first in the real game. Then saved a small tail first, before killing the corner at as a compensation of losing the group. The game was still quite close after this exchange.

Tuo Jiaxi 3p will be promoted to 9p. He has been 3p quite a while even though he is among top ranker in China.

I believe Tuo was the top player overall in the Chinese weiqi league A division in 2013, so he's certainly among the first class of players in China.
