A highly appreciated Chinese player returns after more than 1 year of absence
"mijiaer" is a famous Chinese player on Tygem . There was an interesting interview, some time ago, with the big Korean star Marriag(P), supposed to be Choi Cheolhan. He said that he is playing on Tygem only against top Chinese professionals or against new accounts with very good scores. Asked to mention some top Chinese opponents, Choi said that "hua" and "mijiaer" are very strong and he had a disappointing 0-2 score against mijiaer in the last games. For some reasons, mijiaer disappeared for more than 1 year from internet (his last game was played on 17th of September 2009), so I was pleasantly surprised to see him today confronting "kirle", a 9D from Korea, a strong opponent with an impressive winning percentage of 73%. The fame of mijiaer is still there, so very quickly 750 observers (!) were gathering to watch the show. And it was worth it ! The game was extraordinary complicated and it would be too risky for me to make any comment. I just had a strange feeling that black was all the time in control. The final blow, starting with move 239 at K14, was so beautiful. I just wonder : "How can someone see something like that so quickly ?" During the game, I have asked if anybody from the observers can tell me the real name of mijiaer. A nice guy chatted with me and said that he is Hu Yaoyu, a Chinese 8 p. It looks like a reasonable claim , so I believe him.
"mijiaer" 9D ( Hu Yaoyu 8P) - China : 574 - 190 (39097 p) "kirle" 9D - Korea : 244 - 88 (36453)
