080212-ex-02 Yi and Kang enters Fujitsu CupKorean preliminary to Fujitsu Cup ended. The winners are Kang Dongyun 7p and Yi Younggu 6p. In first game Kang Dongyun 7p beat Choi Cheolhan 9p by 6,5 points. Kang show that his baduk is very strong and Choi Cheolhan attack with cut -Black 47 fails. After some moves Choi Cheolhan manage to win a ko, but Kand Dongyun get some teritory on upper side and build large framework on left side, which was enough to win the game.

Second game wasn’t so enjoyable because Baek Hongsuk 5p who was playing with Yi Younggu 6p play some new and questionable moves like quasi-hasami with White 14. Yose was better but Yi Younggu was leading by solid margin so in the end he won by 1,5 point.

Beside Yi Younggu 6p and Kand Dongyun 7p Korea send to Fujitsu Cup: Park Yeonghun 9p (titleholder), Lee Changho 9p (runner-up), Lee Sedol 9p, Mok Jinseok 9p and Cho Hanseung 9p. Unfortunatly Cho U 9p from Japan who last year was playing with Yi ChangHo in semifinals lost this year in Japan preliminary to Cho Sonjin 9p. Cho Sonjin 9p isn’t weak, but i don’t think that he can play in international finals.

Kang Dongyun 7p vs Choi Cheolhan 9p W+6,5
Baek Hongsuk 5p vs Yi Younggu 6p B+1,5
