In the players' common room, both the pairs were studying the game with a copy of the game record, which was printed with a copy machine from Richo. Then, soon later without having a rest, the Japan-China exhibition pair-Go game started.

The new champion pair of Ms. Aoki & Mr. Oh plays with the Ms. Shuw Hao, the 5- Dan, & Mr. Nie Wei ping, the 9- Dan pair who won the preliminary round in China. The commentator and the partner are Mr. Hua Igang and Ms. Zhang Xiang successively. Although Mr. Nie has passed the top ranking onto the younger players, he had been called "the iron goal keeper" because he had never lost the game at the Japan-China team competition, the Super Go. He is familiar among the Japanese Go fans. Ms. Shuw is actually an outstanding beautiful woman player.

Game started

It was a thrilling game with full of exciting events, which was worthy of the "exhibition". In the early stage, a large number of black stones that belonged to the Chinese pair died. Almost all the visitors turned into a blue mood.

But, the game runs sometimes in an unexpected direction. I might be due to her fatigue after the big game. Ms. Aoki made a careless mistake! She said later, "I placed that stone while I was wondering why they didn't give up the game." Instantly, the situation changed to be very closed. The visitors at the site were warmed up again. The same rule was adopted as for the final game, which allows 30 seconds for a step, and 10 times of the thinking time for a minute. So far, both the pairs have spent all the thinking time. After the final game, Ms. Kato, Ms. Yashiro and Ms. Izawa were chatting, "Although 30 seconds per step are allowed, we can think as less as for 15 seconds when playing Go with 2 persons as a pair." "Oh, yes. When the partner places a stone in a different way from my insight, we have to spend time to think the hidden significance of that step." Playing Go appropriately in such a short time period and in front of many visitors should be a consummate skill. The game seems to be depending of the ending stage, however, nobody knows which pair would win. Finally, the game finished. All the visitors were keeping a breathless silence for the result. Then, a wave of clapping arose for the information that the Japanese pair won the game by only 0.5-Moku.
