It’s really thick and solid. What can you tell us about your character? - Yes, they are the same. I prefer reading books and using internet instead of meeting people. I think, that Go fits my character well, so I love it a lot - You told us about internet. Are you often playing Go online? - Yes, I enjoy it a lot. There are so many strong players on Go servers - What is your favorite Go server? - I am usually playing on TOM (it’s a famous Chinese Go server, A.D.) - You won a lot of Chinese tournaments. When can we see you winning something on international area? - I set the goal to reach the first place in World Championship within 3 years - Recent results of Chinese masters are quite good. What do you think about them? - We improved a lot by learning Go from Ma Xiaochun, 9-dan, who is the main trainer of Chinese national team. I think, that these results are not sensational at all. We have another note (impressive one) about Xie He, 6-dan from the recent interview of Lee Sedol, 9-dan: - Who are the strongest Japanese and Chinese players? - Cho U, 9-dan is the strongest in Japan without any doubts. Other Japanese masters are way behind. I think, that not Gu Li 9-dan, but Xie He, 6-dan is the top Chinese player. Gu Li, 9-dan has a powerful playing style, but he is making some mistakes from time to time. If my condition is good, I am always ready to beat him. Xie He, 6-dan is another case, His Go is really solid and he is not making mistakes at all! He has a great record: 8-0 score against top 3 Korean players: Lee Changho, Choi Chelhan and myself. He is so strong! I don’t know the way to beat him! Lee Sedol, 9-dan also noticed, that the level of junior players in China is higher than in Korea. ****************************************************************************** World Go News Dark horse from China 15 years old Tuo Jiaxi, 3-dan showed an outstanding result during the 3rd Chinese Changqi Cup. He reached the quarterfinal by beating Xie He, Huang Yizhong and Wang Xi (all of them are the members of Chinese top 10). His next opponent is Kong Jie, 7-dan The tournament table and game records: http://www.go4go.net/v2/modules/tournament/scorechart.php?key=92-3-s30f Here you can find some details about Tuo, 3-dan collected and translated by Mace Lee, an expert of Goama: http://www.go4go.net/v2/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=6 My former classmate U Dongha, 6-dan (Korea) won the first Korean Prime-Minister cup. Congratulations, U! The tournament was slightly weaker than the usual Amateur World Go Championship in Japan (N. Korean player was absent, Germany, England, Finland and Holland did not send the strongest players), but any way, his performance was impressive! It is not yet clear, will he get a promotion to 1-dan or not (according to the rules of Korean Baduk Association, the winner of the amateur World Go championship is getting automatically promoted to 1-dan pro). I made a mistake in the previous issue of our newsletter, by putting Mathew Macfadyen (England) into the players list. I saw his photo inside the Korean Go article about the tournament, but it seems, that they just used an old picture. We cannot say anything about sensations. The final standing (http://cooperate.cyberoro.com/2006_amateur/e_swiss.asp ) is quite standard. Asian or Asian-born players playing for other countries are on the top. Russia, USA and Romania are slightly behind, as usual. Some commented games from the tournament will be available soon on http://www.go4go.net/v2/modules/alex/ The price of each commentary is less than 3 cents! ******************************************************************************* New photos from Korea http://www.baduk.or.kr/news/homenews_view.asp?gul_no=508818&gdiv=1&frpg=MN Korean Prime-Minister cup ******************************************************************************* The most exciting game of the week Year 2006 Korean League 2006-10-22: Park Cheongsang 9p (Black) vs. Lee Huiseong 7p (White) B+R http://www.go4go.net/v2/modules/collection/sgfview.php?id=12861 Huge group killed by Park, 9-dan 32nd Japanese Kisei, preliminary 2006-10-26: Takekiyo Isamu 3p (Black) vs. Takemiya Masaki 9p (White) W+R http://www.go4go.net/v2/modules/collection/sgfview.php?id=12867 The game is not so exciting, but it's always interesting to watch Takemiya's openings ******************************************************************************** Announcements Alexandre Dinerchtein, 1-dan professional, the main editor of the “Goama” newsletter, is offering trial Baduk lessons on KGS.
