Gu Li lost to Park Younghoon. I hope Gu Li does not get into slump. Probably it is hard for him after losing BC card cup to Lee Sedol.

Maybe not much of a surprise: Akiyama won the last time they played when Akiyama 1d and Chang was 5d. It might be my imagination, but graduates of the Ryokusei Gakuen seem to do better than most Japanese against foreigners, and if that's true a possible explanation would be Kikuchi's policy of taking his pupils on trips overseas.

I think that should be "advanced to 4th round".
A good system naturally covers all corner cases without further effort.

This seems to be the semifinals, not the 3rd round.
