Showdown: Oh Chimin (RustySword) vs. Jan Simara (BUM/flashback)
Background:
Being a relatively high ranked dan player on KGS, BUM often gets a good number of spectators for his games. His style is somewhat unique, and some might say that it is hard to always determine his strategy when playing against people of his own rank.
BUM's real name is Jan Simara, and he was born on December 15, 1985. He has another account on KGS, flashback, which at one time was ranked as high as 9d! However, these days, his rank on KGS seems to be around 6d, making this a 2-stone handicap game.
RustySword's name might seem commonplace now, having been revealed to be Oh Chimin in real life. While some sources indicate that Oh Chimin is a 6d amateur player, he seems to be doing fine as an 8d on KGS.
A 6d spectator notes that, in this game, BUM is a bit over-concentrated at the bottom of the board after move 20. But the game is still somewhat close, even to the end when one of the players wins it by a mere 4.5 points.
Enjoy the game!
