Michael Redmond 9p outplayed Shibano Ryunosuke 2p yesterday.
Was it televised? Is there a video we can watch? 
There’s no game record even because it’s preliminaries C, deep down the tournament table.

I just saw a reddit post that has an article in korean linked there https://www.reddit.com/r/baduk/comments/jxnl9q/kim_eunji_2p_was_suspended_for_one_year_after_the/
Edit: It seems spelling the name as Eunji leads to other results https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2020/11/398_299695.html

Happy Go day!
Today is Go day in Japan. It has been celebrated annually since 2013. The hashtag #囲碁の日 on twitter has various nice things to celebrate such as artwork and tsumego.
The date is derived from the japanese characters for igo:

Aww, I thought that said lead Go stones. Not quite as cool.
I heard a similar thing recently in the context of Norse culture. A tafl game board was found, along with other “masculine” grave offerings, in a Scandinavian (or was it Icelandic?) tomb, but the skeleton was discovered to be female.
I wonder if we have any evidence for whether a Go or other board game set was or wasn’t a gendered grave good in ancient Oriental culture… although likely the geographic and temporal scale makes assessment of that pretty much impossible.
There are some old pictures of women playing Go, as all respectable forum-goers 
know from Images of olden times (which could do with a bump, by the way – it hasn’t had one since July).
So that’d suggest that Go boards weren’t a gendered offering, although those illustrations were probably made closer to the present day than to the Silla period (57 BCE – 935 CE, or 696–1688 AUC if you prefer one-dimensional date ranges).
