"attractive" 9d from Korea vs. "hua" 9d from China
Background:
Lately, I have been posting games with players that have been suspected of various pro identitites, due to the amazing games that they've shown to Tygem users. Today, I watched an exciting game, which brought more than 775 observers between two mysterious 9d.
The black player goes by the user id, 빻떼역봤죄/hua. He uses the Chinese Tygem client. While his identity may be unknown, he has a pretty good record as a 9d on tygem - about 60%. It's also possible that he likes the anime, One Piece, as his avatar appears to be a character from the show. Perhaps he's a young player?
The white player goes by the user id, 아쉬워서/attractive. He uses the Korean Tygem client. The name is rather amusing, both considering the English and the Korean parts. In Korean, 아쉬워서 is a conjugation of 아쉽다, which means to feel some kind of wanting or to have an unsatisfied feeling. So to me, 아쉬워서 sounds like "because I am lacking something". Keep in mind, though, that I am not a native speaker of Korean. In any case, the nickname is somewhat amusing. Furthermore, 아쉬워서/attractive has an even better win record as a 9d on tygem at about 64%.
The betting crowd seemed to slightly favor white.
Even if the identities of these two players are unknown, since they both have such good records as 9d on tygem, they are certainly good players - amateur or professional!
In this game, black skillfully captures white's group at K7, by forcing white with N11. The game ends when attractive 9d ignores black's threat at move 247.
