Kang Dongyun 9P wins the 13th Chunwon title, getting over ‘the Lee Sedol-wall’.

Kang took the lead of the best of five by winning the first match, but Lee Sedol, the strongest player in the world, was not an easy opponent. Lee won the following two games and reversed the score 2 to 1. At the time, many fans expected Lee to win the title as usual. However, Kang reversed the behind game at the 4th match and succeeded in changing the flow. 

The final match was played on February 6 in the SKY Baduk studio amid hot attention from many baduk players. Lee tried experimental style and Kang kept his typical moves. The crucial fight of the game was begun from the left side and expanded to the upper side and the center. At last, Kang made fair profit at the upper side and the center and it led to a golden victory. 

The winner, Kang Dongyun 9P is going to play at the Korea-China Chunwon title against Chinese Chunwon in August.
