As expected (or not : :-| ), Iyama cannot participate.

Seems a good chance for the 2 young players to gain experience. And also a chance for the 3 others (top 10 in Japan I believe) to "upgrade" their strength in international matches.

But with this team I think there is little hope to become a "dark horse", especially when China send out their 4 recent world champions.

Maybe if he didn't become the challenger for Meijin. :)

He could play as the last member of the team, so he has time to complete his Meijin challenge,no?
