It is my understanding that the=20 unmarked king normally goes to the "Senior" player (either in rank or age),= =20 and since the higher ranked player usually plays second (in club play) this= =20 is consistent with the first sentence. Perhaps a Japanese can shed more=20 light on this question.

I have two Kings, one has a little mark that looks like an apostrophe, the other doesn't. Which one is the white King and which is the black?
