Hello Yury,

It's possible that an older player sometimes uses Osho and play as SENTE.

But which player moves first is decided by FURIGOMA for the most of=20
professional official games and by NSR workers for JUNISEN. I do not know
well how it is decided for JUNISEN but I guess they use some lottery for
it. I'm sure they do not consider players' age when they decide which
player to move first.
