Hi Steve, steve uurtamo: <CADg0iND1Q-g_o-ykF2Lsb=M-htbzvxFLfhXZ=oc3-mac3lc...@mail.gmail.com>: >Takemiya? At 5 stones he should destroy zen.
>No? With 6 stones, Zen already beat Cho 9p (Taiwan) and Meiko Tei 9p. Moreover, Zen beat a Japanese 5p with 5 stones in Bardeux. Takemiya 9p, however, must be a strongest, the "tenaori" system (changing the handicap for the second game depends on the result of the first) will be used (first time, I guess).
