On the website Go4Go, Dinerchtein provides commented pro games at a rate of about three cents per game. For a fee of 50 USD per year you can enjoy this and other services of the website. I enjoy these commented pro games enormously. It's about the only place on the net where you can get a glimpse of modern pro thinking, commented modern joseki and fuseki, comments which are moreover of Korean type. As a personal note, Dinerchtein does not fall into a habit I utterly dislike in pro comment, namely passing in global analyses.
Alexandre just had a major success in a professional tournament: he defeated O Rissei 9p in the first round of the 8th LG Cup.
