joonki is 9d once again!
Background:
After a bit of a slump on Tygem, joonki (Seo Nunwook 9p) has ranked his way back up to 9d. joonki slipped down to 8d on April 1st, and immediately after went on to win 15 games in a row (in less than 48 hours) as an 8d to reclaim his 9d rank! Since coming back as a 9d, he has won 5 out of his last 9 games.
This seems to empirically suggest that the gap between 8d and 9d is very large... Either that or joonki has a lot of determination to keep is 9d rank on Tygem. :-)
The game on display in this article is joonki's latest. His opponent was ghdfghdg, who seems to be relatively new to the server, having entered as a 3d around June of last year. Furthermore, ghdfghdg has only played 83 games, in comparison to joonki who has well over 11,000 games on record.
Nonetheless, ghdfghdg seems to be a worthy opponent, having won his first three games as a tygem 9d (although, he has lost a bit since then).
The game proceeds somewhat naturally with black putting pressure on two white stones with move 21, and white attacking black's pincer with 30. It seems that white starts to gain a good deal of influence with 84.
In the end, does joonki have enough to win against ghdfghdg to further secure his status as 9d? Find out by taking a look at the game!
