There are lots of NHK Cup broadcasts on youtube, which I've really enjoyed watching lately. I don't speak Japanese, but that doesn't matter much --- the variations shown on the commentator board still makes sense of course, because we speak Go

I find this format more fun than just going over a game record --- the 30s overtime periods makes it very nice to watch and have a think about the next move before it comes, plus you get to see the facial expressions of the players as they struggle.

Here's one game that I found interesting. So much crawling on the 2nd line! And white seems to be in a very tough position from early on, but she just keeps fighting, what endurance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cypnOEZ2UDo

Watched it a few weeks ago.

The crawling was cringeworthy.

Curious to find out what Mr. Cho Chikun said about it...

Must see:

O Rissei, 9p misread the ladder
