For singapore 2008 individual compeitition,if someone were to say...that i got 4th in this year compeitition purely by opening, i would agree with them because its true... if only i got more midgame and endgame skill i could have gotten champ...too bad i don't have that's why i only got 4th... Plus the stupid system this year i hav to fight huangrongyue and allen again in semifinal and finals, otherwise i could have fight with other opponent with lower cumulative points, because i have fought all the top 8 players in this compeitition. i don't mean that those with lower cumulative points are no good but just that they hav no form, so should be easier to dealt with... Lin Yao Sen once told me one is not a good player if they can only play 顺风棋 well，if one can also play 逆风棋 well ,then that person would be a formidable player. Just look at Alvin, this year some of the opening he use is no obviously no good, but he still use it and win with it even when the situation is no good and can still win meanin (more...)
