Today Gu Li and Liu Xing were playing in final of Changqi Cup. Gu Li was White. In Opening Liu development was very quickly. Black position was good but Gu invade in upper right corner and made a position very complicated. Black attack at 29 was very skillful but after white white 32 seems to be a korigatachi and white play kakari in button right corner.
After White 3, Black 4 looks like a slack for me. I understand that Liu play solid Go but this gave Gu very comfortable result, so maybe black 4 should be at 5?
Next Liu made a very questionable furikawari in upper side which in my opinion was better for Gu Li. After that Liu invade to bottom left corner with with weird move black 83. Plan behind 83 was that it was sente to white group. After normal joseki black 83 won’t be 100% sente.
Black 113 is the most questionable move for me from this game. This move is a big overplay, black should play at white 114. Gu play at vital point and black situation in center was hopeless. In the end Gu capture huge group in center. Gu play another great game. I hope hat Gu will win some international title this year.
