The Redmond Cup finalists have arrived at the US Go Congress, and the stage is set for a showdown in both divisions. Calvin Sun 7d, age 15, will face off against Jianing Gan 6d, also 15, in the Senior; both boys just played in the first AGA/Tygem Professional certification tourney, and Gan made it all the way to the finals, where he was just one game away from becoming a professional. In the Junior Division ten year old titans Aaron Ye 5d, and Austen Liao 2d, will square off. Liao is a dark horse contender who made the finals by fighting his way up to second place, from a seed at the bottom of the 10 player field, knocking out two players ranked higher than him. Both games will be broadcast live on KGS, in the AGA Tournaments room, at 3pm EDT.
