it seems like another year where Japan will get no victories.

Well, they got at least one! Maybe the strategy of sending younger players was a good one.

By half a point, close game!

Yep, I'm pretty happy about it. I was watching the game through the early part and was wondering what would happen. At least they did better than last year and will hopefully manage to get some more.

Interestingly this one has a 3-5 opening, as we were talking about in this thread:

Playing 3-5 against orthodox opening always had good results from the games I saw.
And it is appearing more and more often.

I guess we'll find it out in an hour or two which of the strong 9p Chinese players (Xie He(9d), Wang Xi(9d), Chen Yaoye(9d), Jiang Weijie(9d)) Fujita will have to face.
