LA Tops Greater DC to Win 2015 Pandanet AGA City League Finals

Monday August 3, 2015

In the City of Angels vs. The Beltway Boys, Los Angeles prevailed over Greater Washington in the 2015 Pandanet AGA City League finals last 2015.08.03_city-league-winners-DSC_0008Saturday afternoon at the US Go Congress in St Paul, MN.  The top two boards split, with LA winning the Mark Lee (LA)  vs Zirui (Tim) Song (GW) game on Board 1 and Eric Lui (GW) defeating Evan Cho (LA) on Board 2 (both on time), making the Danny Ko-Yuan Zhou game the decider. The exciting showdown got even more so when a clock problem on Board 3 forced a game replay on Saturday night. Danny Ko won that game on time, sealing the win for Los Angeles.
