A side note: The two commentators, Tan Xiao and Jia Ganglu, just got married.

If they want to stay married I suggest they don't review too many games together .

Apparently if you pay 10,000 yen you can participate in Iyama Yuta's celebration party held by Asahi newspaper on December 13 at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo http://www.asahi.com/articles/DA3S13229838.html

This is a great link! There is a real time commentary by O Meien and towards the end Iyama himself comments on the game.

Igo Premium is a nice service but a bit pricey. At least it's all online and accessible everywhere. I don't have it, so I'm glad someone ripped it at least.

Right now it's him vs. Ichiriki Ryo right? Any comment?

Iyama won game 2 of the Oza vs Ichiriki by 4.5. They both did a taisha, but not the complicated lines. Later Iyama cut and killed Ichiriki's reduction of his centre but had to give up a few nibbles plus some bad aji which meant there was a rather large ko in the endgame.

Thanks for posting these udpates/summaries. I haven't followed any pro games closely lately but I was under the impression that Ichiriko failed to score a win so far in his Tengen(?)/Oza games against Iyama?

He lost to Iyama Yuta for 7 consecutive games. His total count in go4go database is 5/20.

0-7?! That must hurt...

Iyama not exactly invincible though. In my opinion Ichiriki had great chances in today's games.

For the last 7 games, but not of all time, haha.
I would feel bad for Ichiriki Ryo though. Being a top prospect, but having that guy who's always better than you (who is also one of the reasons he's not a 9d yet).

On a side note, I believe Ichiriki was just promoted to 8d last week for winning his 150th game as a 7d. This being against Yamashita Keigo in the finals of the Kisei tournament.
