Lee demonstrated his power by striking back hard at black's weaknesses. The top right hand corner is extremely well played by white. The clashes on the right hand side of the board is extremely complicated. Even Kang Zhan Bin 6P admitted that the game progress till here has become extremely complex and difficult to read.

More or less both side has filled up most part of the board. It was commented that it was surprising that Choi opted to put up a yose fight with Lee. It has been popularly known that Lee is renowned for his superb yose play. Most people has expected Choi to put up an aggressive fight in the mid game and try to win the game before the yose part. Ironically, it is the other way round in this game.
