Female Kisei Tournament

Aoki Kikuyo vs Xie Yimin

First match of best of three starts tonight in US (4 am GMT). They're showing it live on Niconico broadcast which should be interesting.

Time rules: No main time, 30 second byoyomi with 10x 1 minute thinking times. This is identical to NHK broadcast games.

This should be good, and it's starting now. Aoki Kikuyo is black and Xie Yimin is white I believe.

Xie Yimin wins game one! Wow is all I can say. That was one of the most entertaining games I have ever watched. I'll post the SGF when it becomes available.

xed_over, the game you linked to was won by resignation (I've reposted it below so that others who want to view it can use the keyboard). I'm a little confused how you saw them filling dame.

We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

I'm guessing it was the beginning of the self review he saw when they were moving around stones.

Some of the niconico comments were amusing.

Kobayashi Satoru looked like he had a lot of fun with this.

Xie Yimin won game 2 as well! And as far as I know, this means she holds all three of the major women's titles.
