King of Kings (last 32) : from 16 - 20 June

          The list of last 32 has been completed with 3 Korean newcomers ( "Nice7", "gaofeng(P)" and "god2" ), so we can say that the tournament is now entering the final straight line. There is no more mystery about the pairings and the future King of Kings is someone among these 32 players. The only mystery is who will be that lucky someone. The 3 Koreans have balanced a little bit the table : China (19 players) to Korea (13 players).

                                                                      June 20

"gaofeng(P)" (Korea) - "Iamcoming" (China)                   "IamVVIP" (Korea) - "whitetee" (China)
"tmch" (China) - "wldop" (Korea)                                     "kingater" (Korea) - "wulu123" (China)


            Untill then, let's keep a track of idontca1's efforts to get back in shape. It is interesting that many of his recent games are against players qualified for this new stage of King of Kings, like "Strive(P)", "lxlx", "allKO(P)" or "sxkr".
           Today he met "ddcg", another great Chinese player and one of his constant adversaries. The beautiful part of the game consists of a long KO that was transferred from the top left corner to the right top corner and lasted until the last move.
        How strong and how dangerous is "ddcg" you may learn from another game between the same players at : http://www.gosensations.com/index.php?id=2&server_id=4&new_id=1011


                                                    "idontca1" 9D, Korea : 172 - 64 (36976 p)
