Dan visited the tournament, which has been held in the rooms of the Japan Club in Dusseldorf.=20 On the first day a lot of players had the opportunity to play a handicap game against a pro. The kyu-players were quite successfull, but the dan-players, receiving handicaps like rook or rook plus lance were slaughtered. After the simultaneous games two of the younger pros, Ina, 4. Dan and Kondo, 4. Dan played an exhibition game with 10 minutes plus 30 seconds byoyomi with Takahashi, 9. Dan providing comments and explanations on a demo board.=20 On sunday the tournament started with 34 players from 15. kyu to 4. Dan playing in 4 rounds MacMahon.
