Redmond update.
Last week Redmond lost to Adachi Toshimasa 6p in Gosei preliminaries, if he’d won he would go to main tournament but alas. However he’s still going strong in Juudan preliminaries (B), Redmond won against Shiraishi Yuichi 7p and is going to play Cho Sun Jin 9p (scary name!).
In Honinbo preliminaries (C ) Antti lost to Hoshiai Shiho 2p. That’s a woman who did move readouts in NHK videos, she’s ~200th player in Japan.

Jiang Mingjiu is participating under US flag too as far as I can see. I’m not sure how we should count that.

A bit of old news for those who don’t keep up. In past few days Nongshim cup was played. It’s a win-and-continue team competition. Teams of Korea, Japan and China consisting of 5 players participate. It’s played one game at a time. Loser is eliminated and winner continues to play opponents from opposing teams until he loses or no more opponents left.
This time around tournament started with Korean Won Sungjin defeating Japanese Murakawa Daisuke, and in the next game losing to Chinese Yang Dingxin. And Yang Dingxin went on a murder spree. He won 7 times in a row eliminating Won Sungjin, Yamashita Keigo, Kim Jiseok, Ichiriki Ryo, Lee Donghoon, Kyo Kagen and Shin Jinseo. Only two opponents were left - Iyama Yuta and Park Junghwan. And in a heroic battle Iyama Yuta managed to stop the Chinese! He defended the honor of Japanese go. And everyone is happy for Japan because it’s kind of an underdog among three Asian countries.
I think they take a break now and in the next year Iyama is going to play Park and whoever wins will try to stop the rest of Chinese.

I like how connected stones actually connect to each other. Maybe it would help beginners realize how stones connect better?

I like that a LOT—and I imagine it might be best with sort of a “wet” <splat> sound for unconnected and <splorch> sound for a connecting move, a bit like in a comic game but very satisfying

Remember Globis-AQZ (Japanese AI) that played against Nakamura Sumire and I think Ichiriki Ryo on abema tv. Today it played a very funny game against Ray. AQZ was destroying the opponent but magic happened after move 290. Look, top-left white’s group is supposed to be dead but woosh!
I guess Japanese AI isn’t yet strong?
