VaDo Cup 2019 FINAL round 6

When all eyes were on the first board, the winner of the VaDo Cup 2018, Mateusz Surma 1p, fought his battle with Dominik Boviz 6d, somewhere in a small corner of the Calimari hotel, where the Winter Go Festival 2019, Vatra Dornei, Romania was held.

Everybody expected young super talented Stanislaw Frejlak 7d to sweep the tournament, as he started his last game against the go-playboy Dusan Matic 7d with a 100% score. (Stanislaw knew he should have lost his games against the Romanian players Elian Grigoriu 5d in round 2 and in round 5 when he outplayed the ever sympatic Dragos Bejenaru 6d in the engame and turning a more then 10 point behind into a 0.5 win!).

But....also Dusan is very talented and a respected 7d...so Dusan won by 1.5 (see game below).

winner VaDo Cup 2019: Mateusz Surma 1p

Winter Go Festival 2019, Vatra Dornei, Romania: the dan promotion award game



On wednesday the dan promotion reward game between Dragos Boldeanu 1d(b) and Catalin Taranu 5p was played.



At the end Catalin won by 10.5, but he was pretty suprised by the strong play of young Dragos (who won the SEGO under 12 event earlyer this week).

Because of the playing tempo (30 min each) there is not yet a complete sgf of this game. Maybe you can create one by replaying the video?
