The "God from within" awakes... Or continues to be awake...

At least 760 observers gathered to watch a game featuring the famous 내안의神 9d vs. Chinese professional, GGGAAA(P) 9d of Tygem.  

In regard to GGGAAA(P), there is little clue online as to his true identity.  He is a professional, using the Chinese client.  One speculation that I had from looking at breakfast's list of Chinese pros was that "瘋狂/YYYTTTRRR——朴文堯 Piao Wenyao" could be the same player, since his choice of userid had a similar style (all capital letters, repeating them in sets of 3).  However, I have no real reason to believe that GGGAAA(P) is Piao Wenyao, so this is complete speculation.  We will have to wait a bit longer to get more clues about this great player!  His stats are certainly great!

As for white, for those that haven't heard, there has been speculation for some time that 내안의神/gksrnrwja 9d is one of Lee Changho's accounts.  It's also interesting to note that gksrnrwja, the English name for the account, is 한국점 written on the Korean keyboard (Korean point or Korean spot).  I'll also note that 내안의神 might roughly translate as "the god (from) inside of me".

Up until this point, I have heard an almost unanimous consensus that 내안의神 9d is Lee Changho.  However, the kibitz during today's game between these two great players (which both have great game stats, if I might add), suggested that there was still some debate.  

A vast majority of kibitzers still hang onto the idea that 내안의神 9d is indeed Lee Changho 9d, making comments such as the following:

Anonymous(6단)> 창호가 호케하게 두는군 

(Basically cheering for Lee Changho, or commenting about the style of play.)

Others, seemed to joke about the subject:

Anonymous(15급)> 뚤수는잇지만,,창호는아니고,,,창호사촌동생이라더군,,

(Saying that the player is not Lee Changho, but in fact Lee Changho's younger cousin.)

But some hung onto a new idea, which I hadn't heard before:

Anonymous(1단)> 내안으 신은 우창헉사범님이라는게 거으90%학실,, 

That is, some are quite confident (this guy has over 90% confidence, supposedly) that 내안의神 9d is, in fact, 유창혁 9p (although the quotation above has a typo).  For those of you that are unfamiliar with the pro go scene, 유창혁 9p is also a quite famous player:

But whoever this great player is, his winning stats are fantastic, winning over 84% of his games, and having lost only 2 of the last 20!

Let's keep our eyes peeled for who 내안의神 9d might be, but in any case, this game, along with his others, is a great one!  Don't miss out on it!

Both players' stats are great, but 내안의神 9d's are fantastic!
