In second game in title match of Gisung baek Hongsuk 6p beat Park Yeonghun 9p by 1,5 point. Today game was very excited. Park Yeonghun takes white stones and build big moyo on upper side. With white 28 on six line it turn in big problem for black to reduce.
With Black 33 (1 on Dia.1) Baek invade in white moyo and made a life. Of course Park Yeonghun get strength and start sever attack on black group on the right. On the right side fight was very tough and ended with 2 small ko fight. Black get life on right side, takes upper-left corner, but white get overwhelming influence in center and takes black territory in bottom right corner, so we can said it was more or less even.
After black 155 situation seems to be in black favour, but white start do-or-die maneuver which end in big ko. Here Baek show great position judgment and made huge furikawari. It was correct decision because to the end his leading couldn’t be change. After 278 moves Baek Hongsuk won by 1,5 point.
