Mok: “Where I made a mistake?”Today cyberoro transmit 1 game of Siptan final between Yi Changho 9p and Mok Jinseok 9p. Siptan is Korean Judan (10-Dan) title. The Siptan is one of minor title but the time limit for player is not so long (10 minutes + 40 sec byo). In first game Mok Jinseok 9p takes black and play low Chinese opening and everything were typical until Mok attack upper left corner. Black 25 is famous invading move but this time Mok used it to attack white corner not to make a robbery.
Mok attack ends by furikawari, but the situation seems to be in favour for white - he started creating big moyo. The game was very exciting because player tried to show fans great entertainment and start another fight in upper right corner 
Mok could even escape from right side prison thanks to ladder breaker(black 49) but the result would be bad.
After another fight the situation seems to be marginally better to white, so Mok decid to start do-or-die fight but he on the start he made some mistakes (black 121 - overplay???). The situation was getting worse and worse and after 170 moves Mok resign.
The game wasn’t long but it was very funny to see so many tesuji and anty-tesuji in one game :] Next game will be at 2nd February. If Yi Changho win he will be a first Korean champion in 2008 and it will be sign that he want to back to #1 position in Korea.
