World Mind Games 2014  Day 1 

Michael Naegler (GERMANY)-Minghao Xie (SINGAPORE) 0-1

China defeated Team Europe and Chinese Taipei defeated North America.

In the women’s individual 1st round matches, Russian Natalia Kovaleva sprung a major surprise to beat Kai-Hsin Chang of Chinese Taipei. Given that only 4 Europeans have ever won matches at the World Mind Games in the Go category, this was a rare and important result.
