Yeah, but he was playing black.
I agree though, the series is going to be very interesting.
Thanks to Shima's showmanship and Ms Oba's witty assistance, the live
broadcast was a feast, at least for me.
Now I've got a question: Will Mainichi Shinbun, sponsor to the Meijin-sen,
continue its Internet service for the second game, too?
I happened to discover, alas toward the very end, that the paper company was
offering move-by-move proceedings(or was it every-hour?)
on the net, with a number of "What do you think the next move will be"
quizzes.I'm sure many other people on the list would love to hear if the
same service is available from the second game on.
