Today, I am going to celebrate someone who came second rather than the people who came first. This game was played in 1996 in the 53rd Honinbo tournament and is the second longest game in Japanese records. Having come second (or worse) so many times myself, I think that Fujisawa and Kamimura deserve a round of applause.

Best wishes.
