edit: seems Yoyoma got there first seems to be 上野 (#1) next weekend, she's the third ranked Insei, 13 years old, and 桒原 (#8 fifth ranked Insei, 16 years), last round. Some tough competition.

I just came to the realisation that the next year is the last #12 can remain as an insei. He's currently at 3 wins 3 losses. Must be a lot of pressure to peform.

[Jhyn]

Antti keeps his possibilities open with a very nice weekend, 2 victories including one against #1, the 3rd-ranked insei. He is now 6/8.

One player is at 7/8 (#14, first-ranked insei) and 4 players are at 6/8 including Antti (#1, #2, #4). Seven games remain. The opponents of Antti will be numbers #2-#8 by increasing order.

[Jhyn]

Sadly Antti went 0/2 this weekend, 6/10 in total. This is very bad news for his chances : with 3 players at 8/10 and 3 at 7/10, he would need a pretty unlikely turn of events as well as going 5/5 in the remaining games to come back from this. But who knows?

[Jhyn]

If anyone is still following this, Antti went 0/2 again last weekend and is definitely out of the race. He'll be fighting to get a better-than-average total score. That must have been a nice ride anyway.

Interestingly, no insei is particularly ahead of the field. One of them is 10/12 and three are 9/12, including an non-insei outsider.

[mhlepore]

If anyone is still following this...

I am - thanks for the updates.

It can be a fine line between success and failure, so major respect to Antti for his dedication.

[Jhyn]

Two victories this weekend with one last game left. No hope for Antti but he will have a very respectable result.

The situation at the top is pretty chaotic. Only three players have 3 defeats (#1, #2 and #16). #1 and #16 play together while #2 plays the relatively weaker #15, so we could expect our two new pros to be among them. Using my very limited Japanese, I believe #1 is Aisakimi Ueno (14-year-old female insei), #2 is Yuichi Hirose (14-year-old male insei), and #16 is Daihyo Takuto (19-year-old male outsider).

(Aisakimi looks like a strange surname - my dictionnary didn't mention it as a name, so it's probably wrong)

An interesting situation would arise if #2 loses with two 16-year-old insei having 4 defeats ready to jump to his throat.

[oren]

It's probably pronounced Ueno Asami.

She made some news beating a pro in a tournament open to young pros and insei.

http://www.asahi.com/articles/photo/AS2 ... 02767.html

[Matti]

Antti got 8 wins from 15 and took 9th place in the tournament.

[Jhyn]

Some more information (still from https://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player/saiy ... onsen.html)

Yuichi Hirose (14-year-old male insei) and Daihyo Takuto (19-year-old male outsider) make it to pro status with a 12/3 score.
Kurita Keiki (16-year-old male insei) and Asami Ueno (13-year-old female insei) come close with 4 defeats.

As mentioned before, Antti ends up with an 8/7 score after a defeat on the last day.

Side question: I believe the Nihon Ki'in have two open professional qualification tournament for three new pros per year (2 autumn + 1 summer) and a women's tournament for an additional pro per year. I am excluding the Nagoya and the Kansai branches here. I am wondering whether it is a common occurence for a woman to qualify through an open tournament, as Asami Ueno almost did this year, or if we have reasons to believe she is the future Rui Naiwei.

Sorry if I got my facts wrong - my info comes from Sensei's library and http://gooften.net/2012/03/29/nihon-ki- ... s-present/.

[Matti]

Antti will start as 1 dan professional in next April.

[Uberdude]

How so? I thought he didn't qualify through the tournament. Did he get some special promotion?

[calantir]

It turns out his result was good enough to qualify him due to his status as a foreign national.

http://mainichi.jp/articles/20151208/k0 ... 40/037000c

From the article:

On December 7, the Japan Go Association announced the Finnish-born Antti Törmänen (26) as a professional go player. Törmänen will debut as a professional player on April 1 next year. He is the first western-born to become professional in Japan in 18 years, following the late Hans Pietsch. Törmänen became insei, a student aiming for professional, in fall 2011. He achieved a winning ratio exceeding 50% in the professional exam this year, earning employment as a professional. In the future he hopes to spread knowledge of go in foreign countries outside the “go belt” (Japan, Korea, China,Taiwan)

[Javaness2]

Really pleased that he got this certification, couldn't have happened to a nicer player.
