More interesting pro games

Post by macelee »

Chinese Go fans are so lucky to have access to a high quality Go magazine Weiqi Tiandi, published semi-monthly and usually contains a lot of technical articles. In one particular column, pro players are invited to present some interesting moments they've seen from recent professional games.

For the latest issue, Mao Xiaobing 4-dan picked the following moments:

71-year-old Rin Kaiho found the best solution in a complex capturing race.

In the previous issue, Wang Xiangyun 2-dan picked the following moments:
