Calvin Sun 1 Win From U.S. Pro Title; Bill Lin Battles To Keep Hopes Alive

Calvin Sun (right) is one win away from being the next American pro. Sun edged out Jianing Gan (left) by 1.5 points in a dramatic game Sunday morning in which the lead appeared to change hands several times, keeping hundreds of viewers on KGS riveted to their screens. Monday’s final between Sun and bottom bracket winner Bill Lin will be accompanied by live game commentary starting at 10a PST (1p EST) on KGS by Myung-wan Kim 7P and James Kim. Since Sun has already beaten Bill Lin in a previous match, one more win for him will clinch his berth as the next US pro. If Lin wins, there will be one final game to determine the tournament winner.
