King of Kings (last 32). They shine : "wulu123" and "Iamcoming"
A great day with beautiful games ! I am still under the spell of "wulu123" and I will go straight to the point. I don't know who he is, just who is not. He is not China's number 1, as "zhoury" (Zhou Ruiyang) is also here under his real name. If a country has such a wonderful player and this player is not on the top position, this country should be blessed. It's not only one diamond there, it's a diamond mine. I discovered "wulu123" only because of this tournament. As was already mentioned, he registered his account in March 2007, as 3D. Then he made an extraordinary breakthrough, winning 61 games in a row . In 2009, as 9D, his longest string of wins was 17-0. This record is in danger of being broke, because right now his score is 15 - 0 from the last games. Just take a look at his achievement against "kingater". This might be the best game played at the King of Kings so far. The Korean pro started very promising and the bets in the first section were favorable to him. Then, like magic, the white stones began to flourish everywhere and the bets have changed. It was so much harmony there. The last 2 white moves, 174 at N5 and 176 at M6 (!!), were brilliant and I hope you will savor them like I did. "Iamcoming" - "gaofeng(P)" is another game that really deserves to be seen, very complicated and full of excitement. You'll not regret if you open Tygem and take some time to look at it as well. The situation is becoming dramatic for Korea : another bitter 0 - 4 today against China. Before the last 3 games, only one Korean is qualified for the last 16, "gjopok". "YHPak" has big chances to join "gjopok" tomorrow, but the other Korean, "810214", will have a very difficult game against "sxkr".
