One has to remember the us British and Japanese have quite culturally powerful royal families that don't exercise their executive. The entire function of our societies are far more steeped in gentleperson's agreements, asfor example technically, the monarch holds ultimate executive power, but it if you suggested the Queen acted in any other way than on the Prime Ministers advice you'd be looked at as crazy, and the same is likely true of Japan. in the first election to replace Prime minister Theresa May to determine who will, a controversy erupted when it seemed that Boris Johnson might prorogue parliament in order to pass his version of a brexit bill, and even though Jeremy Hunt who was supposed to be presenting himself as a relatively sane alternative, he also did not rule it out. it was a constitutional crisis of the british sort that other countries woud laugh at, and wile there are aspects of common procedure and culture in the USA such as was important in the most recent transfer of power of their top executive, it isn't quite as culturally ingrained as here. i remember in 2014. Perhaps previous empiric status also retains a sense of having rights in our discretion being as worthy as a ruleset in other words, it's seen as almost elegant to minimise the amount of written rules in favour of gentle agreement, and the USA is an empire but it is fundamentally competitive society even on an internal level. Perhaps a lot of the debacles on online servers coud be solved by incorporating this into their thinking

I would not say really sy experience prevailed, Kurata realized he did not know anymore which stones belonged to whom, and would have lost the game, except that Hikaru, who still knew the state of the gme, also knew he was too far behind in points, and resigned.
