Jun Su wrote: I played black against Stejpan Medak 5d on the Sunday before. I didn’t remember well the joseki at lower-left corner and played problematic move 27, so after the joseki I know my opponent was leading. The fight started by black 41, 43 is underprepared, but my opponent seemed to overvalue white stones 36 and 38, and moves 48 and 54 are likely in wrong direction. After the fight I took the lead and managed to enlarge it and secure a win.
Jake Game played Matej Zakanj on the Monday but lost by resignation.
Ryan Zhang played Tadej Petar Tukara and resigned after a complicated fight in the middle.
