Game 2:
Hsu Chiayuan beat Hong Kipyo
Game 3:
Gu Zihao beat Hsu Chiayuan
For the last game, look like Hsu misjudged the situation and resigned prematurely while he was still slightly ahead. He was way ahead earlier in the game and made a couple of mistakes that could have affected his judgement of the board, but the game was certainly by no means over, especially with komi being 6.5.

Nice to see this is shaping up to be a more balanced tournament, with 3 players left on each team. Shibano Toramaru is up next for Japan.

The Shibano-Shin game turned into a Kageyama nightmare. A lot of pushing-from-behind and empty triangles

Game 8:
Tang Weixing beat Shibano Toramaru
Shin Jinseo is next to complete this portion of the tournament. We could end up with 2 players left for each country, something that hasn't happened since 2010.

I think we should add an European team into the mix from next year!

A taiwanese team seems a better idea.
Unfortunately the european team will not win a single game. Look the japanese team,they don't win that much....

Except the politics might look odd. Taiwan would be a natural market for Nongshim. I want to see a non Asian top pro before I die.
