15th   (May 2010 - Feb 2011)    Piao Wenyao     China        Kong Jie           2-0
16th   (May 2011 - Feb 2012)    Jiang Weijie    China        Yi Ch'ang-ho       2-0
 

Does anyone know why the Japanese entrants do not include Yamashita Keigo, Iyama Yuta, or Takao Shinji? My off the cuff guess would be that the three of them, along with Cho U, would constitute the four strongest Japanese players.

6/17 - Ceremony and pairing
6/18 - round of 32
6/20 - round of 16

When people say that pros are "too busy" with this or that, is the issue that the schedules for the games actually overlap, or that they don't want emotions coming off one tournament to interfere with the next, or that they cram material that will help them fight off their adversary....?

Ah, from the pictures, the pairing method is to choose a fan with your opponent's number on it. A little classier than the pieces of paper in the shodan tournament in Hikaru, but same idea.

Lee Sedol defeated Kong Jie By resign

Korean players seem in a good shape. if my brief observation is correct, the first round went 9:1 in Korea-China matches

EDIT: And on the Chinese team, I would have expected Kong Jie to be seeded.

Sakai Hideyuki is also up there. I'm guessing since Yamashita and Iyama are busy with Honinbo right now, it's just too big a distraction. Except for those two, I think you have the top level Japanese players participating. I'd like to see Hane Naoki over Yoda Norimoto, but he has had good international result previously.

Quote: 6/17 - Ceremony and pairing 6/18 - round of 32 6/20 - round of 16 How does the pairing work? Is there a random draw, like the drawing of slips of paper with numbers on them in Hikaru no Go?

Over the past decade, six years, Cho's results in international competition are actually better than Hane and Takao. And Hane is a bit stronger than Takao, it seems.

This one is easy this time... LG Cup 6/17,6/18,6/20 Honinbo 6/18-6/19, 6/24-6/25 Other times pros have all kind of league matches to fit in to schedules.

Did not know this started until today. Kind of wish I knew yesterday, no work today, could have stayed up all night, especially with the first day of a Honinbo game going on... (curse you eastern time zone!) Some interesting match ups here. Definitely hope to see a kifu/review of that Lee Sedol v. Kong Jie match up. edit: Go Game Guru just posted an update about the LG, there are records for 4 of the matches Lee Sedol v. Kong Jie, Choi Cheolhan v. Xie He, Cho U v. Jiang Wiejie and Na Hyun v. Dang Yifei. Check them out here: http://gogameguru.com/17th-lg-cup-road/

Not Jiang Weijie. Cho U is a Japanese player (and he's native Taiwanese if that's what you meant).
