Dai Junfu's 3-month Tygem break is over! How does he do? latterfar 9d vs. ericdai 9d
Background: Not much about Chinese player 'latterfar' to know about. He is probably a strong Chinese amateur, just like ericdai. He has played in the Tongyang tournament last year, but got knocked out immediately in the first round (http://www.tygem.com/Tongyang6/gametable/gametable_all.html) so his recent tournament performance isn't phenomenal either. On a trivial note, this person does seem to be a Jennifer Aniston fan from his avatar :p (at least, I think it's her...anyone care to confirm? :)).
I think many Westerners are already familiar with 'ericdai', or Dai Junfu (Eric as he goes by). He has played in many French tournaments and is ranked 9th in the EGF with a very nice tournament record of 64 wins and 8 losses. He is also the administrator of the GOIGO forums, an English/French forum for discussing Go. He also logs on KGS under the same username as his Tygem handle and has at one point reached #1 on the KGS Top 100 player list. Except for another game he had played just prior to this one, he hadn't played a game on Tygem since December 2008, so it is nice to see that he has returned to play more Go (strangely, both ericdai 9d and missingham 9d had stopped playing on their accounts at precisely December 29th...?).
Anyways, enjoy his returning game! And sorry for my absence as I have been very busy with exam studies!
