Gu Li now holding 4 national title:
Mingren, Tianyuan, NEC and Changqi

Today Gu Li 9p and Liu Xing 7p were playing decision match in final of Changqi Cup. Gu was White. Until Black 11 the opening was from 1 game, but Liu made some research and play today hoshi ogeima shimari. Nowadays this kind of move is very popular in Korea.

Gu Li start attack on bottom side and the opening turn into normal Chinese fuseki. Liu Xing shock me paying black 43. This kind of move is typical for Yi ChangHo 9p - he is famous of playing yose moves in fuseki. I thought that black will play F11 or something on the right side.

Gu Li play great yose

Liu play good game. After invasion in bottom left corner hewas leading bbut Gu start to play some tesuji moves. White 5-11 is good combination, but the greatest move is white 13 killing 4 black stones. Black cannot save them if he tried then:

Black collapse

If black play a atari at 1, white will capture 2 stone w 2 and black group have only one eye
Gu Li gets stronger and stronger in yose. After some important lost in international tournaments with Korean pro he learnt something about yose and now we can said he is unbeatable
