on ep 9 I'm sure I saw that gentlewoman before somewhere but at the time wondered how she related to weiqi. So now I feel dumb find out she's a pro .

On ep 11 Kie Jie, I know it's the fresh fruit from the training camp that did the trick, maybe his playing strength is correlated with his cuteness and his ability to get quality fruit affects that aspect, I don't know, maybe if he has quality fresh Durian, the King of fruit, he'll win the King of Kings and his playing strength will endure the test of time.

I've noticed that the sound of Xiaodai can sometimes be a bit low relative to Gazza's voice, so feel free to turn it up! Can't wait for the Jia League and Wu Qingyuan Cup!

[Elom0]

I've seen a bit of episode 17 and it is a bit better, but Xiaodai does still sound quite quiet compared to Gazza! of course it's not a big issue but obviously if you turn it up when Xiaodai is speaking then turn it down when Gazza is speaking and back and forth and back and forth . . . So it's easier when you don't sound to different from each other in volume thank you very much for the great Podcast that's a week highlight for me at least

I can't believe Shenzhen though . . . For laughing out loud's sake. . .

And I must mention that while the lack of games for Chinese players are a problem, the female weiqi scene in beijing-controlled China is an even more serious problem. Korea, Taiwan and Japan have overtaken them. When Korea lost a plethora of international tournaments to Chinese players they treated it like a crisis and launched a campaign to make Korea competitive again. I'm surprised that as far as I know CWA hasn't made this a priority. Although at the moment that's good for Nakamure Sensei who will probably have to win an international women's tournament to get a title before middle school . . .

Chinese female pros playing in the Chinese Women's league should also be allowed on the bench of teams in the open leagues, for a start.

[Elom0]

Choi Jung was just playing a player called Ding Minjun in the Women's Jia League. I'm not sure who she is, but maybe she is of both Chinese and Korean heritage???

edit: It's actually not the Jia league . . . hmmm

[Elom0]

Oh hey the sound is okay now on episode 18!

Well Xiao is still a bit quieter but it's okayish enough.
