Seki Kotaro 9p won the 70th NHK Cup. His final game against Ichiriki Ryo 9p, played on the 19th of March, was very intense, with several big ko fights and exchanges. After 318 moves, Seki won by half a point. In the March edition of the European Go Journal, you will find detailed commentary on that game.
