Park Junghwan (9p) vs. Shin Minjun (9p)2020-05-18
This week we had the opportunity to watch a match between two famous 9p players in the 25th Korean GS Caltex Cup, Round 3! :)
The game itself is quite complex and exciting even if black maintained a strong lead throughout its entirety.
Something we'd like to point attention to is that Katago was able to understand the KO fight in the bottom left (starting move 67) quite well even though there KO threats involved ladder formations. This improved especially compared to the performance of previous Go AIs.
The deciding factor for blacks' victory was most likely that Junghwan managed to come to live on the left side while securing a considerable territory. Even if the point difference diminished over time.
