Another interesting game

Post by TMark »

This was played in the preliminaries of the 16th GS Caltex Cup and we (GoGoD) think that it is the first time that an incumbent world champion has been beaten by a Korean female professional, although we always are ready to hear about any others.



Best wishes.

Is it also the first time an incumbent world champion was beaten by a female pro, or just a Korean female pro?

Rui Naiwei played in the Korean tournaments for quite some time and beat, for example, Yi Ch'ang-ho a couple of times. She probably also played and beat Seo Pong-soo and Cho Hun-hyeon, so we were working on the Korean female professionals. Sorry for any confusion.

Best wishes.

Some times ago GoGameWorld published commentary to the game. It was very weird game, because commentary show that Lee Sedol made too many mistakes in the fight. I thought that he made some mistake in strategy but not he just misread few times. I recommend you to look at game in GoGameWorld commentary if you can.
