Artem and Andy, top youth players, face off on Tygem: artem 8d vs. andyusa 8d
Do these players need any introduction? Tygem player 'artem' is popular on KGS as 'artem92' and is Artem Kachanovskyy, the young Ukranian player aspiring to become pro. Tygem player 'andyusa' is Andy Liu, the young Chinese-American player who is known for beating pros in the US, representing the US in the WAGC, performing well in the US Go scene, and plays on KGS as 'bigbadwolf' and other various handles. Andyusa was unfortunate enough to dip to 8d after some hard games as 9d (including playing against top players such as Suh Ninguk 9p (joonki) and TOMquzi2), but he obliterates the 8d field and has rocketed back to 9d, leaving artem in his wake :p.
