Posted on October 29, 2012 by nexik
27 October Cho U and Iyama Yuta played in 2nd game of 60th Oza final. Cho U is current title holder and is trying to defend title for the next year. Iyama Yuta on other hand is challenger and is actually leading in the final.
Second game was extremely entertaining. A lot of big local and global fights. In the end Cho U was forced to resign, but it’s very hard to find his mistake which cost him a game.
Iyama Yuta play very active and risk a lot, first by creating big influence and next in chasing opponent groups.
Everything started at upper side. Both side show great Kiai. Both side fight with full power and wasn’t interested in compromise.
Cho U was forced to give his opponent few points more in local fights. Everything because He didn’t want to give Iyama decision how the game will follow. This is great show of fighting spirit.
Unfortunately Cho U get in big trouble after giving big ponnuki in bottom side. He was in big hurry to defend his groups and invade right side. This give Iyama Yuta big strength. He is known of using strength for big fights. He kill whole white group on bottom side.
After big kill black lead was too big and Cho U resign few moves later.
