What is Igodou, other than an attempt to appear superior through use of fancy foreign language?

P.S. I don't think top Koreans will be worrying much yet seeing as this was a female only competition so has a significantly weaker field. Nevertheless well done Fujisawa.

Yep, what else would it be haha, actually, because the game was so peaceful, and since changing "jitsu" to "dou" is a well known tradition of naming a more "serene" version of a martial art (jitsu = "technique", dou = "way of", JU-jitsu, JU-dou, AKI-jitsu, AKI-dou, etc.), and since I consider Igo a martial art,

Fujisawa beat Mukai Chiaki in game 3 on Friday, November 7th to take the title 3-0. At 16 years and 1 month, she is the youngest ever winner of this title, easily surpassing Xie Yimin's previous record of 17 years 11 months. This is Fujisawa's second major title of the year after the Aidu Cup, which she won in June.

Actually, 道 (Dō) is not only for martial arts, that's a common misconception. It true that it means literally "Way of"/"Path", although it is used in this context with the English meaning "Art" (not necessarily artistic, but as skill/craft).

The ones that you mention Ju-do, Aiki-do, Karate-do, Ken-do, Kyu-do,... are the Gendai budō (現代武道) or Modern martial art (lit. 現 now/current, 代 era, 武 martial, 道 art/path). But the origin is related to the meditation in Buddhist religion in Japan, as thinks that were learn, practiced and mastered in the Dojo (the meditation room in the Buddhist monastery)... since patiently mastering something by doing it repetitively and improving all details until achieving absolute perfection was the way of getting enlighten (a way to nirvana). Regardless if it was Zen meditation, Tea ceremony, Go or Martial arts.

Lot of things were practiced, and it started taking the meaning of art/craft so it is used widely... Sa-do (The art of Tea ceremony), Sho-do (The art of calligraph), Ii-do (The art of medicine, Ka-do (The art of flower arrangement), Ka-do (The art of tanka poetry), Ga-do (The art of painting)... or even in new words like Ski-do (The Japanese way of skiing).

So the use of Igo-do is actually correct by it self (not being martial related), for example:

This is very interesting and she is a young player (from my point of view anyway). I wish games like this we could watch a video of, I love watching matches.

She'll have to work her way into the NHK matches. Right now she does the reading of the moves.

I count this game as only B+4.5 (not the reported B+5.5).
What am I missing?

C5 isn't a point for white. This is a general problem with Japanese games where they normally don't fill dame moves.

Fujisawa Rina defeated Kono Rin by resign. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do know where I can find that game record, trout? That is indeed amazing!

Here (the game referred to is the one played on the 8th of December I guess).

The game description translates to something like:

"1st Ibero Japan Cup memorial game"

Ibero Japan is a company there. Not sure was being memorised.
