Fight resolves to ko, Sun has biggest threat, loses ko but kills Tangs corner.
Calvin Sun may win game, presumably tournament
EDIT: Tang wins by small margin

Ed, you seem to be getting white nearly every game.

Good observation. Only game 1 was Black for me; all the rest I took White, including two with 0.5 komi. :-?
It's the way the computer pairing worked, and also because of the small turn-out (only 50+ people?).
They had to redo the pairings twice, I think, because of some "interesting" match-ups
(e.g. 1d vs. 4d, even game, with the 1d taking W. :))
