The two people, who are also known as the "Legend of Go", "Emperor of Go" Cao Xuanxuan Jiudan and "Go National Treasure" Lee Chang-ho Jiudan have rarely met in recent years. After Master Cho Hwan-hyun Entered the National Assembly, master and apprentice have rarely been encountered. Until the Mid-Autumn Festival match in September this year, the master and apprentice met again after 4 years and 8 months.

The competition took 1 hour per side, 3 times 1 minute reading seconds, after 3 hours 10 minutes, 175 hand battles, the atmosphere of the game is still very similar to the previous championship final, both sides are very cautious, both entered the final reading stage, as more and more pieces on the board, Cao Xuanxuan nine paragraphs began to talk to himself frequently.
From the chess game content is also very rich, the game with the beginning of the reading of seconds, ushered in an important victory and defeat, before that, Cao Xuanxuan nine dan has been dominant, several hands of chess have fallen on the artificial intelligence recommendation point.
As he entered the second reading, the longer the time, the greater the variable, Cao Xuanxuan finally wavered, accidentally made a mistake, Lee Chang-ho Jiudan keenly seized the opportunity to accurately "punish", the master said "did not see".
Lee Chang-ho Jiu duan said: "Although it is not completely absent from the idea of escaping from Go, it is still much less than the Bian Xiangyi players (who often thought of escaping from Go when they lost to Shin Jin-chan).
Ahn Hyung-joon, who served as the narrator, said: "Cho Hyun Hyun-hyun Jiu Duan previously behaved like a heyday, but in the final stages there was an illusion of the current age group."
Cao Xuanxuan said: "The layout is not bad, the situation in the middle game is very good, and sure enough, it is about to enter the second reading stage, and you can't see the chess." Lately, I have played Go too little, and my actual combat ability is poor. I'm glad I was able to fight until the end. Lee Chang-ho Jiu duan said: "I originally wanted to attack well, but the effect was not good, and I felt very bad."
