From the 2009 US Go congress (courtesy the AGA E-Journal)

In round 1 of the US Open, Jianing Gan a recent arrival in Canada and only 11 years old faced off against the 2008 & 2009 US Open Champion Myungwan Kim 8P. The game was commented by Japanese Pro Maeda Ryo 6P. In his first year in Canada Jianing has already made a mark on North American tournaments with his 2nd place finish in the Canadian Winter Cup and his 14th place in the ING/Masters; it will be exciting to see what he can accomplish in the future(Editors note: In 2012 Jianing placed one spot out of qualifying for professional, and he will compete again in 2013).

In round 3 of the US Open Juyong Koh and Yongfei Ge, both top Canadian players met in a key US Open match. The game was commented by James Kerwin 1P. Yongfei came away with the victory.

In Round 6 of the US Open Yongfei Ge challenged Myungwan Kim 8P. Feng Yun 9P commented on the game. Yongfei was defeated as Mr. Kim repeated as US Open champion.
