China’s leading go player, 9th dan Xue Hao, has won five consecutive games on the Nongshim board.

Sheilhao defeated Japan’s Ryo Ichiriki 9th dan in 230 moves in game 6 of the second round of the 25th Nongshim Shin Ramen Bae World Go Championship at Hotel Nongshim in Busan on Jan. 1.

Since the second round in Beijing, China, in October, Sheilhao has won five straight games, defeating Xu Zhaian, Byun Sang-il, Shibano Toramaru, Won Sung-jin, and Ichiriki.

Taking the white on this occasion, Shenghao gained a slight advantage in the early stages.

Ichiriki turned the tide at one point in the middle game with a strong attack on the left back hemp.

However, Shenghao managed to regain the lead in the closing moves, capturing the black king on the upper left side to seal the game.

In the second game of the day, Korea’s second-ranked Go player, Park Jung-hwan 9, will try to end Sheol-hao’s winning streak.

Park holds a 4-4 head-to-head record against Sheilhao.
