Life In 19x19

Pretty much everything in those days was 2 days. When Rin and Ishida challenged for the Honinbo the league matches also lasted 2 days.
League matches were 9 hours each and the title match 10 hours each.

And I don't see what's so bold about my earlier statement. Currently league matches are 5 hours ...

Ke Jie - Park Jungwhan should be interesting.
Will Ke be able to overcome his 2-game losing streak against Park? Or will Park make a bid to reestablish himself as the strongest player?

@By78's rant: I agree with you that the nationality of a player shouldn't matter and I also agree that 'beauty' and 'deep' and those descriptions are drivel.

However I disagree when you say that Ke Jie would win against Iyama if both were given 8hours. Many pro's have commented that 2-day matches ...

While I do agree that Iyama shouldn't be in the top 10, I would argue that based on the (sparse) encounters he's had with Korean and Chinese players he probably should be.
The reason he can't crack into the top 10 is because he almost exclusively plays players that are a lot weaker in the ranking ...
