It was played recently in the 39th Myeongin tournament.]RE[B+Resign];B[pd]C[He'd already participated in the preliminary round of the LG Cup earlier this year (as an amateur player) and this was the second time he'd joined the professionals in a tournament.];W[dd]C[If Insun won this game, he'd get enough points to qualify as a professional according to the 'new points system' of the Korean Baduk Association. I wrote about that here: http://gogameguru.com/cho-insun-amateur-turned-professional-go-player/];B[qp]C[On the other hand, Park Jeonggeun became a pro in 2004, and he won the second place in the Chunwon (Tengen) Cup in 2005. He was beaten by Ko Geuntae 8p in the final.];W[dq]C[He made it to the final one year after becoming a pro, so it was very sensational.

When you're in your opponent's area, you should attach and touch like this! ];W[jp];B[iq];W[oq]C[Good sense.

Insun shows his strength in this game. It's hard to find his overplays or underplays. He played boldly and with confidence. As you can see, he's already pretty strong, and there're many amateur players who are nearly as strong as Insun in Korea. I hope more top amateur players can beat pros and get a second chance to make their dreams come true with the new points system.
