Here it says Frank Jansen did win the game. On the eurogofed website Yuze Xing is marked as winner. Which one is correct?

Well - the signed scoresheet says that Yuze won the game.
Everything - including the game number - is corrected now.

Rather than just editing the old first post, it would be good to make a new post so that this thread rises to the top of the forum activity. It’s the final of the European Go Championship today, much more interesting and worthy of attention than all the usual chit chat here IMO!

Thanks for the comment: games are announced separately because this is the most important day. The forum announcement will be added in the chat of each game.
