In the game Baek Hongsuk take black stones and play Diagonal opening. The sequence to White 20 is common. Yi Sedol seems to play more yose move in chuban compare to the past. Situation seems to be pretty even and Baek Hongsuk start severe attack on Yi Sedol group with Black 99. Yi Sedol was forced play some dame moves when Baek Hongsuk made some points in centre.
