Final[edit]
Yuta faced Li in the final, winning by resignation in 208 moves.[2][3] An Younggil, 8p from South Korea, commented on the game, saying "[Yuta] played this game wonderfully. White 112 was the winning move. [Yuta]’s endgame was perfect, and [Li] didn’t get any chances afterwards. This game should be one of [Yuta]’s best games, I’m sure".[4]
