Lucky(P) not so lucky after all against 19-year-old Lee Wondo 2p! Lucky(P) vs. lwd1989


Background:
Today I present to you a fabulous game that garnered over 600 observers and played between two professionals (if you see a game and a user has a (P) by their name, it means they are a pro.  The reason they have this system is so that, once Tygem verifies through registration that the player is a pro, they can automatically bump the account's rank to 9d and it will stay there permanently, regardless of performance), so can't go wrong with that :).  

An interesting tidbit on Black: Back when the account was new, the rumor used to go that Black was Park Younghoon 9p.  For instance, you may find a chatlog where he is brought up in this nice VOD here (Korean, use IE): http://www.tygem.com/Lecture/VODPlayer.asp?seq=154.  It is commentated by Lee Jaeung 3p (the infamous 우정과♡/gkwls 9d on Tygem) on a game played live by 공짱타약(P)/lwd1989 in a tournament game.  Even if you do not know Korean, it is nice to see the game and the many variations he brings up. 

Anyways, it has been some time and it has been found that in fact he is actually Lee Won-Do 2p.  Aside from the word-of-mouth in the Tygem community, it only takes a small amount of detective work to see that it is indeed him.  If you take a look at his English secondary username, it is "lwd1989".  L is for Lee, W for Won, and D for Do.  And yes, he was born on 1989 :), so it fits nicely together.  Lee Won-Do has done pretty well in the 2008 Korean League, beating favorites such as Hong Minpyo 6p and yes, the great Lee Sedol 9p as well (the picture above was taken after his fabulous win against Little Lee).  You may find some of his games here: http://www.go4go.net/v2/modules/collection/byplayer2.php?pid=1128.  Unfortunately, I do not know much about his opponent, other than his/her professional status and that the player wasn't so "Lucky", despite favorable betting odds. 

I hope you enjoy the game!

Thoughts/Impression on the game:
-5 has become very, very popular in the Tygem server for opening sequence (and of course, it has been played professional frequently too).
-17 is a very sharp and novel move.
-109 was bewildering to me.  It seems Black got into trouble with his group after this.
-145 was the turning point of the game.  Now White runs into serious problems!
