Kim Young-Sam wins unbeaten the Corona CupThe Corona Cup is an on-line tournament organised by Lukas Podpera. Ex-yoengusaeng (ex-insei) Kim Young Sam appeared - once more - to be too strong for the European competitors: he wins unbeaten the Corona Cup. Behind Kim, Pavol LISY (SK, 2p) ended second with 5 wins. Four players follows with 4 wins: Benjamin DREAN-GUENAIZIA (FR, 6d), Ilya SHIKSHIN (RU, 3p), Anton CHERNYKH (RU, 6d) and Sinan DJEPOV (BG, 5d). Ben makes a great performance, and so did Anton and Sinan, who are still teenagers ! Outside the "top group", Vassili JAKOVLEV-CHERNUSHEV (RU, 4d) managed to win 5 games. Inversely, strong players as Artem KACHANOVSKIJ (UK, 2p), Lukas PODPERA (CZ, 7d), Stanislaw FREJLAK (PL, 7d) only got a mild 3-3 score... Lucas NEIRYNCK (BE, 5d) scores 2 wins.

1st online match Chine vs. Europe: a genuine amateur (Yu Suhao, 6-d) crushes single-handedly (nearly) whole European team !This tournament (described in the news here under) turned out as a nightmare for the European team. :-( Ariane Ougier (FR, 4d) lost to the Chinese female representative, who was then soon outcasted by Benjamin Dréan-Guénaizia (FR, 6d). Benjamin won the next game too, before losing to a certain Yu Suhao (6d). This Yu Suhao crushed the rest of the European players - 9 straight wins - including the strongest European amateurs and even some professionals ! China won 10-2, only 3 of the 10 members of the Chinese team had to play ! What a lesson of humility for Europe !
