Professional 9x9 games

Post by oren »

I saw these being broadcast on wbaduk as part of the Iyama Yuta 6 title celebration. It's unusual to see pro 9x9, so I thought they might be interesting.

Iyama Yuta vs Murakawa Daisuke



Yamada Kimio vs Sakai Hideyuki



Yuki Satoshi vs Iyama Yuta



Iyama Yuta vs Hyakuta Naoki (An author, not a go professional according to my google search on the name)

Some pictures of the event are here. About halfway down you can see them discussing the games.

Many thanks, oren! :)

BTW, these are rating games?

I'm not sure why multigo added that. It could just be a default that wbaduk sticks in the NGF files.

Crazy. In every one it'd get to a point where I'd think "How can those stones possibly live? And if they do, how could the opponent possibly make it close?" And then they'd play out a sequence and both end up happy and within a couple points of each other.
