riddled with mistakes from both sides, though more from Gu, who again played white. It seemed like a territory endgame was to be handed to Black due to his marginal lead despite the 6.5 komi, but a mistake on move 189 gave Gu an opportunity to strike and drag the game into a closer fight. However, Gu was unable to take advantage and then handed the initiative to Won, who calmly looked for weaknesses in Gu's territory, forcing White's resignation on move 235. This remains to date Won's only World Championship and, despite the victory, he has to perform the compulsory 2-year military service of South Korea. This is due to the Hanguk Kiwon and the Korean Military's mutual agreement that players who won major international titles outside Korea, i.e. the Fujitsu Cup and the Ing Cup, were able to be exempt from it, whilst domestic titles still required the player to perform military service.
