Park Junghwan probably giving Shin Minjun tips on how to beat Ichiriki.

I think Ichiriki is on a different level when the time setting is longer. LG Cup and Ing Cup are probably very suitable for him. LG Cup has a shorter byo-yomi so we have to see how that goes though.

They are still playing after 6.5 hours. And the game is still close.

Shin Minjun was leading for most of the game but now it’s better for Ichiriki

Poor Shin Minjun. Was A14 the critical mistake? I’m just a ddk but i saw the winning rate change when Shin Minjun played A14. What would have been the better move?

Congratulations to Ichiriki for winning from a -13 points position in byo-yomi!

Here’s the full kifu.

Yes A14 is a big mistake according to AI, but before that things were already getting complicated. Shin Minjun had some chances to end the game earlier but he missed it, and Ichiriki successfully turned the game into a confusing situation for Shin.

Critical moment

Game became close

The 2nd match is also a game that ended up with high group counts. Black with 5 groups and White with 3 groups.
