Healthy ramen lover uses his noodle to win big on the goban ("healthy ramen"???)
Today, I came to see a game having a 9d white player with a better-than-average win rate of around 70% (222 wins out of 318 games). He goes by the name, 건면세대/NONGXIN, and has images of ramen noodles for his avatar.
Perhaps there are other reasons, but maybe he has chosen this name, simply because he likes 건면세대 noodles, made by the Nongshim company (www.gunmyun.com). The particular product can be seen here: http://blog.nongshimi.com/blog.ns?blog_id=signal415.
It may be interesting to note that 건면세대 noodles are (theoretically) healthy, since 건면 means "healthy noodles"... Is it eating healthy noodles that gives this Tygem 9d his go strength?
There's probably more than simply a healthy diet to account for this player's spectacular play, and you can see it clearly in this game!
To be honest, when watching this game from the beginning, it was not clear to me, at first, that white was going to win. But white used his influence quite well to gain an advantage, and win by a substantial amount!
There's certainly a lot to learn from this sensational game!
