You gotta love his commitment to style. Despite the advent of AI, nearly all of the opening moves are on or below the third line.

Well, AI does like territory?

I quite liked how black somehow was allowing snoop away territory near the borders and ended up with moyo towards the center. It looked like white had solid connection to the center at Q13 Q6.

Nakamura Sumire plays against Suzuki Ayumi. We should remember that Suzuki Ayumi is one of the four strongest Japanese female players, and often represents the country in international events. And the game is for Senko Cup, quarterfinal. Funnily enough, 3 other players for semifinals are already determined, and they’re the 3 strongest Japanese female players, so Sumire has a chance of taking the spot for the fourth. Or the game will go as expected.

Edit: just now went through the opening, looks quite unusual.

Also Nyu Eiko plays some league game but it’s another story.

They use japanese counting?

Stupid question, but is the term “Japanese counting” in Japanese and the same in Chinese? Or are the terms different?

Just asking for the Linguistics of it.

If it was played in Taiwan they will use Ing scoring afaik

How does that even look like?

On the pic it looks very similar to Japanese rules with 6.5 komi.

Ohashi Hirofumi gonna play Ueno Asami today. That might be a fun one.

Edit: ah, it looks pretty normal.

Third round already!

The French championship is a 7-round tournament so there is still a lot to go. The schedule conflict between the two tournaments is a bit unfortunate.
