Ichiriki Ryo wins the 10th Ing Cup!

Not only did Ichiriki win the finals, he won it 3-0!

I love it that a Japanese top player was finally able to win the most prestigious international go title (for the first time actually), after decades of Japanese pros having a reputation of not really being a match anymore for Korean and Chinese pros.

I enjoyed watching this review Michael Chen 1p AGA made about all the games in the match:

That video is more than 2 hours long, but it’s not boring at all, because Michael Chen is a good entertainer IMO and he is actually sort of giving a lecture along the way on how to approach your own games on a strategic level.
