Life In 19x19

After many pro's analysis, they determined that Lee ChangHo would have won if he continued his game against Won SeongJin.

This highlights the mindset he is in which is likely why he is struggling as of late. He recently got married, did he not?

Yes, he did. I thought that his marriage will stabilize his life. Maybe he need more time.

Interesting. I looked at the board, and thought they both had about 60 points. I'd love to see the pro analysis, though!

Go board? I see no go board.

Use Internet explorer then you will see it.
I cannot see it either if I use Firefox.

We've published a story about this, with the game record here: http://gogameguru.com/lee-changho-wont-play-24th-fujitsu-cup/

An Younggil will be commenting the game in the next few days, so subscribe to our updates if you're interested.

I wonder. There was a controversial incident between these two in 2009, in a very important titlematch game. Yi went to the loo during byoyomi. By custom there, his opponent gets all the time he is away on top of the byoyomi period, but an officious scorer ignored that and made an unprepared Weon slap down an improperly considered move in a close game. Yi went on to win the title.

Was he nobly paying his dues in the Fujitsu? Or was he just in a hurry to go to the loo again?

Why should marriage alter his performance ^_^

people make mistake when they get old.
if you see my game against Kirby i made a "ddk should see them in 1/2 sec" mistake and killed by group.
just because they are professional players wont mean they are perfect.

it is good to be young..

Maybe he was dissatisfied with his performance in the game - some chances that he didn't take or some moves that he regreted later.

Although he's stone buddha doesn't mean he has no feelings (especially now, since he got married ).

I thought I remembered hearing one or two years ago that South Korean banks were pretty much the last bastion of ActiveX users in the world, and they were in a tizzy because even Microsoft has started to admit that ActiveX is a bad idea and is slowly removing pieces of it from IE as new versions come out...

Guess it's not just the banks.

...exhibiting his good sportsmanship?

Perhaps he wants to lower his rank so he can sandbag the younger pros.
