Victor Chow, b. 1976, is a Chinese-born South African top amateur (6d). He plays as RoseDuke, a 7d on IGS. He was the last remaining amateur in the 1st pandanet open internet world rapid championship, 2005, having beaten two Japanese pros: Yahata Koichi 6p in the fourth round and Sasaki Tsuyoshi 5p in the fifth round. He fell to Kono Rin 9p in the sixth round.

Plays an aggressive, confrontational fighting style.

His victories over Yahata and Sasaki can be found at [ext] Gobase, with comments.

Only one [ext] game appears to be at Gobase.org, that between Yahata Koichi and Victor Chow. The game is not commented at that URL. What are the URLs to the commented games?

I don't know where they are on Gobase - perhaps under study material. However, you can download them off the South African Go Clubs site - here are the links:
