Kobayashi Satoru doesn't seem too upset. Meanwhile Cho is sporting his new dark-framed glasses that, IMHO, just emphasize that he still hasn't found that hairbrush that went missing about fifteen years ago. :)
Edit: Fix link

Do you have the record? :)

It seems that Kobayashi and Kobayashi played in the semi-finals: http://u-gen.nihonkiin.or.jp/common/java_kifu_viewer2.asp?no=2112

What is the qualification requirement for the Masters Cup?

Here is the record from Go News. This is an Over-50 tournament.

The tournament is for those 50+ and previous title winners only.

Previous title winners are seeded but others can be in the preliminaries as well.

"50歳以上の現役七大タイトルホルダーおよび経験者"

The only reason I was fairly sure you didn't have to be a title holder was that Michael Redmond was in the preliminary.

You must be correct. Since term 2, there have been preliminary tournaments. I guess the main purpose is to have 16 players in the main tournaments so a few extra positions are available.

Wow! Redmond is over 50! It doesn't seem like that long ago that he moved to Japan as a 14 year old.
