Recently Lee Changho 9p is play a lot. Today he face Yoo Changhyuk 9p in 4th Prices Information Cup. Yoo Changhyuk took black stones. Game was very interesting, because of very complicated variation of diagonal opening.
Lee Changho had been in difficult situation after cut of black 49, but he found great tesuji at white 70 (20 on Dia.2), which give him great shape.
This is great example how pros can create new joseki variations, thanks to they reading skill (another example of deep reading skill today show Han Sanghoon 3p by killing big dragon of Choi Myeonghun 9p in KB League).
After 30 in Dia.3 white situation looks very good. Later the game goes very smoothly without any big surprise, beside Lee Changho great endgame skill. After 233 moves Lee Changho won by 9,5 points.
Lee Changho 9p vs Yoo Changhyuk 9p W+9,5
With this win he secure his place in finals of Prices Information Cup. Of course there is one more game for Lee Changho in League, but even if he lost in the worst scenario he will be second.
