In 2009, He was in the final of the Samsung Cup, but was beaten by Kong Jie. ];B[pp]C[Park Junghwan is regarded as a future Lee Sedol, and he's the most promising player in Korea right now.];W[dp]C[On the other hand, Qiu Jun is well known as a very hard thinker and worker. He seems to be getting stronger as time goes on. ];B[ce];W[dh];B[gd]C[There're lots of options and this is one of them.];W[de];B[dd]LB[kc:A][cd:B]C[B can also play at A, then W'd play at B.Park likes to play certain variations as he's still young. ];W[ed];B[cd];W[cc];B[bc];W[bb];B[ec]C[Good sequence.This variation is very rare to see, but I heard that pros recently researched this one intensively. ](;W[eb](;B[fc];W[ef]LB[ee:A]C[Now, W plays here, but not at A. Qiu seems to have researched this before this game. ];B[cf];W[ge]CR[ed][de][ef]C[This attachment helps W's marked stones. ];B[hd](;W[bg]TR[ef][bg][dh]C[It looks a bit aggressive, but still fine. ];B[bd]LB[ab:A]C[Because of the reason I showed in the previous diagram, B doesn't play at A. ];W[fb];B[ab];W[gb];B[ic];W[cb]LB[ab:B][gb:A]C[It's not certain, but Park would think this result is better than where black blocks at A instead of B. ];B[ch]C[Good tesuji. ];W[ci]LB[df:B][cg:A]C[If W plays at A, B'd B. ];B[eg]C[Good sequence, but it's not easy to explain about the meaning of this one. Top pros play this sort of move using their go sense. ];W[dg];B[cg]LB[eg:A]C[B doesn't care about the stone at A.];W[di];B[bi]LB[ee:B][df:A]C[Now was a good time to exchange A and B for Black. ];W[bj];B[bh];W[od]C[W doesn't need to play on the left side anymore];B[mc];W[qc];B[rc]LB[pc:A]C[The other joseki, where black plays A, isn't popular anymore. ];W[pc];B[qg];W[md];B[lc]LB[df:A]C[Around here, before this exchange, B should cut at A to ask W how to answer. ];W[rb];B[df]C[A bit too late.Park is very strong, but this is his weak point. He sometimes plays slack moves, and his opening is not as good as the other parts of his go. ];W[fg]LB[ee:A]TR[ec][fc][ic][lc][mc][gd][hd]C[W doesn't connect at A as B's top group is already settled. There's not much value in keeping two strong groups separated.];B[ee]C[However, as you'll see, Park is very strong at the endgame. ];W[eh]C[Up to here, the opening seems to be a bit favorable for W. ];B[rd];W[nc];B[ne];W[nd];B[fq]C[Big place. ](;W[er]C[This move is Qiu's style. He's good at reading, and playing an uncertain shaped game.W's left side is uncertain. ];B[jq];W[qn];B[ro]LB[qg:B][jq:A]C[B did the same shape. In this case, it's reasonable as there're B's stones on both sides. ];W[qi]C[Nice move.

As the game's very close, Park has the adventage in the endgame as his endgame is regarded as one of the best, and furthermore Qiu was already in time trouble long time ago. ];W[hm]C[W is aiming at B's weakness in the centre.];B[iq]LB[dq:A]C[Good move, B can cut at A next and this capture makes the game clearer.

This game was so exciting, because it started with a brand new variation in the top left corner, and there was a big fight from right side. The opening was slightly better for W, but W made a big mistake at A, and the game became better for B.After the fantastic move at B, the game became almost even again, but Park played perfectly afterwards, and there weren't anymore chances for W.Both sides have only small territory at the end, and finally B captured W's huge group, but it gave observers a lot of excitment and thrills until the very end of the game. This is Park Junghwan's first international title, and for Qiu Jun, he'll challenge again next time. Thank you.
