PW[Wang Chenxing]PB[Hei Jiajia (Joanne Missingham)]WR[5p]BR[6p]DT[2013-12-13]SO[gokifu.com]C[This is the semi-final game played in the World Mind Sports Games for the Women's Singles Event.
It is not often for us to see many commentaries on strong female players in the world.
However, I believe there are many strong players in the world who have had great influences in Go, such as Rui Naiwei.

Wang Chenxing is a rising female pro in China, and she is definitely ranked among the top female players in China.
Hei Jiajia (Joanne Missingham) has a unique story and many Western players may be even familiar with her. She is a very famous player Go players around the world due to her unique background and she is one of the strongest female players in the world today.

A, B, C, D

Looks like both players don't really care about influence.

However the lategame sequence top right was quite good for white.
