What comes next ?

Hola !

No "jubango" game review for today. It was truly a complicated game. When I went to sleep, after white messed up the lower right area, and tried some sequence in the top right, I thought there was no way he could win the game. But he did, and that was an impressive comeback I must say. Half of the board was totally destroyed by their fighting manoeuvers. Some pros commented on this game, you can replay a 6hours long audio review on gokgs (under the KGS Plus Menu > recent lectures).
If you understand chinese (or are fine with just watching them play variations), you can also watch a complete analysis of the game on Youtube.

Current score : Gu Li vs Lee Sedol (1 / 2)

As you can see, the season of prelims have started. As always, we can expect some particularly strong players among the freshly-promoted professinonals players, especially Bai Baoxiang (1p) who is recognized as one of the chinese top players already, but he certainly won't be the only one that top pros should be taken seriously.

We'll see soon enough !

As you saw above, there will be some prelims today, I hope to find some particularly interesting games to review them. Just have to wait a few more hours.
