It's 3-2 in Cho's favor, so we may not be great at prognostication.

I think only the rapid games in Japan are televised.

I have seen the first bit of the major titles get televised before but not the whole match. I remember Redmond was doing the commentary when I caught it on TV.

I had a look at the most recent game, and it's pretty cool. http://eidogo.com/#url:http://igokisen. ... iseit5.sgf

Yeah it's now 3-2 Cho U, so he can keep his title if he wins the next one.

Cho has won the title 4-2. He also won the first game of the Judan against Iyama, so it seems he has the upper hand this year.
