Life In 19x19

LZ timeout in the first game against ChaoRanGo.

Yes, Tanaka isn't very strong but that's life. I skimmed through random recent female tournaments and found her participating consistently and in my sample she won 3 times and lost 14 times, for example, she won a game in 37th female honinbo preliminaries and that's like 2017.

Anyway, we can't ...

Sumire won her first official tournament game. I transcribed the game from video-broadcast (there might be mistakes!) but I was a little late and there was no option to rewind it back. Hopefully since news will be all over it we'll get a proper sgf soon.

It appears Nakamura Sumire is going to play pair go 18-20 August together with another young pro Fukuoka Kotaro?

We can expect a game on July, 8 against Tanaka Chieko 4p.

"Great" start from Russian players. A.Chernykh and V.Kajmin missed connecting flight and forfeited their first game. There was an option to restructure the tournament bracket to have them play each other but organizers decided to follow the rules.

Kirby, considering that Ali Jabarin already called the game for Surma at that point, it's probably accurate to say "clearly lost" and "obviously". Plus there were no weak groups or dangerous cuts left to mess up position, right? So that what it was, clear win for Surma, we all know that. Why ...

It appears Nakamura Sumire played another game against Hideyuki Sakai.

Looks like it's this one (from wbaduk broadcasts):



I didn't find much info about the game to crosscheck but should be correct.
