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.

Do you have the record? :)
It seems that Kobayashi and Kobayashi played in the
semi-finals:

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.

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.
