In the second leg of the tournament, Bryan, a Korean kid, bested all
his opponents including Cherisse, the first finalist. Cherisse beat
Bryan in the first round, but Bryan got his revenge in the seventh
round. As it was the first loss for Cherisse, there will be a last
match between Bryan and her next Saturday, September 3.
Francis and Mikong played the closest game of the tournament in the
fifth round which Mikong won only by 1.5 points. The match between
Bryan and Mikong in the sixth round was the most exciting, however,
with Mikong capturing a group on the left side of the board, Bryan
killing a group on the bottom side, Mikong saving his group in the
center and Bryan killing another group at the top side.
After the game, the players had simultaneous games with a visiting
Korean professional go player, Hong Sungji 8-dan, and a top Korean
amateur go player Park Jongwook, 7-dan.
