At the 9th Round of 14, both Japan and Korea were down to their final player, while China had 5 players. This was due to Xie Erhao 9P's outstanding performance of 7 straight wins, which had eliminated most of the Korean and Japanese players.
After defeating Iyama Yuta 9P in round 10, Shin Jinseo 9P has continued to win and is now up against the third Chinese player, the world-famous Ke Jie 9P. Ke Jie was a previous world champion for several years and is also known for his match against AlphaGo.
Ke Jie has a new haircut!
Shin Jinseo has been undefeated for the last few years of this tournament and is about to catch up with Lee Changho's record of 14 consecutive wins. Consecutive wins over multiple years is a thing in this tournament, as the final winner often has to defeat a number of opponents.

Ke Jie's hair tesuji is baffling.

[@richards_256]

Always great when you upload a game analysis. Your choices of what to focus on and in how much depth to go are always on point

[@TheNoronist]

Even I don't play nowadays, I really enjoy and learn something from your commentary. Thank you Mr. Redmond. Love and peace from Turkey.

[@simonkotchou9644]

Thank you! The two modern legends!

[@Testi-1982]

I agree and thank you.

[@dunno978]

Super Saiyan Ke Jie 😂

[@messitup]

Wonderful commentary! Can't wait for game 12!

[@DrKnyckis]

Excellent analysis as usual! Especially in a positional game like this, where "nothing really happens" on the surface, it is super-good to get a sense on what is hidden below. You are doing us amateurs a great service, Mr Redmond!

[@cheshirebee]

I find that SJS's move at J4 to be absolutely insane to me!! I'd feel so uncomfortable making such a huge sacrifice no matter how far ahead I was

[@bucelliLeo]

Ke Jie has gone super Saiyan. It reminds me of the alternate fighter color in the old Tekken games

Thank you for your commentary! It is always a pleasure to see these two head-to-head.

[@alepan6349]

When people like Ke Jie make dumplings like at 18:39 it makes me feel really good about my own games

[@mateuszputo5885]

Instructive on how to handle positional advantage. Big takeaway is to not go for anything direct but rather keep them fighting for life as long as you can. I was very impressed with AI variation involving giving away the ponnuki.

[@krapsman882]

Thank you for this new video!

[@omfgacceptmyname]

i like his haircut

[@hershsangani9302]

Really interesting to watch! I’m amazed at how you could kind of see the end result from the early part of the game. New Go player here btw. Great videos!

[@ig2d]

Thanks

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Thank you!

[@willmelville7687]

cool game! thanks!

[@RoryMitchell00]

It's kind of scary how Shin Jinseo can look so dominant at this level of play. Ke Jie is a very difficult opponent, but as you point out, he lost control of the game early on and was never given a chance to get back in it. I'm looking forward to the next round and your analysis of what is sure to be another interesting game!

[@ig2d]

Shin Jinseo is currently over 200 ELO points better than the second highest rating. Perhaps he should play a GO Ban (is that the word- were if you keep winning your opponent is obliged to take a handicap) with someone - or maybe play a handicap match against an AI

[@OferZivony]

Thanks for these reviews! Something non-related: I was checking out some list of the longest winning streaks in professional Go, and it seems you are up there with a streak of 19 wins between October 1983 and October 1985. This is the same as Lee Sedol's longest winning streak! Is this true (I didn't find it in a games database)? Care to comment about it?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

No, there are clearly some missing results. It was a period of fairly good results when my opponents were mostly of the lower professional ranks. I have a copy of the tournament results that shows that I had a total of 47 wins, 11 losses, and 1 jigo in those two years.

[@enthusi]

White: Ke Jie 9P Black: Shin Jinseo 9P sounds wrong then in the description? Confused me alot when watching it. Great commentary as usual, though. Thanks alot.

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Thank you for catching that mistake.

[@David-vk5sv]

Did they know who won when they had started playing the end game moves? Or did they just see that it was end game and had to count

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

I think they knew. Top pros generally have a margin of error up to two points max.

[@kirakornsrichatsuwan4288]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@dhama5804]

Maybe Shin Jinseo will take it home for Korea, still a few more opponents though(?) and these games are intense! Wondering if they'll go with the aggressive territory again vs him.
