The player
郭莉萍 (Guo Liping) trained in Heilongjiang under 王嘉良 (Wang Jialiang), and she was one of the three world champions he coached there. She won the women's national individual championship twice, in 2002 and 2004.
As Red she opened with the Pointing Finger more often than with the central cannon, in 43 of her 152 archive games. She met two players more often than anyone else, Hu Ming and 王琳娜 (Wang Linna), fifteen games each, and against Hu Ming she won 4, drew 6 and lost 5.
The game below comes from the 2001 national individual championship, where she beat 张国凤 (Zhang Guofeng) with Red. Zhang Guofeng still won the women's title at that event.
