| At last, I’d like to introduce some comments
of the pairs who will proceed to the quarterfinal. The MC was Akiko
Tsukuda 5dan. |
| |
Tsukuda 5dan said, “You won two games
but they were close games, weren’t they?”
Suzuki 3dan said, “Close games but they were difficult and
the outlook of the games were not clear. But at the end of
the games, U Cho Oza is good at it. So, I played with confidence.”
Cho Oza said, “I played better Go in the 2nd game compared
to the 1st one. I felt that gradually, I played better.” |
|
Tsukuda 5dan said, “Your wife, too, won to proceed
to the quarterfinal.”
Cho Oza said, “(smile) I hope to play against her.” |
Cho 10dan said, “That was a natural result.
(audience laughed) Anyhow, my partner is Izumi chan.”
Izumi Kobayashi said, “Cho sensei was kind to me so I could
play freely and had fun.”
Cho 10dan said, “This time, if we happen to play against your
husband, please throw away your love for him and let us win.”
Izumi Kobayashi said, “Yes. (laugh)” |
|

Yoshida 8dan said, “It is like a dream.
I think that what I asked my partner `Please play to win’
was good.”
Takao said, “Yes, I thought I would lose (laugh) but I was
told by Yoshida san and that came true. Anyway, it is the
first time to proceed to the 2nd day so I am really happy.”
|
|
Tukuda 5dan said, “The 1st game, you won
with a half stone. And the 2nd game, you won with 2 and a
half stones. You won through tough games, didn’t you?”
Yuki said, “Actually, I wanted to win by chuoshi.”
Yashiro said, “I am sorry.”
Yuki said, “Don’t be.”
Yashiro said, “Yuki sensei was stronger than I |
|
|
thought (audience laugh) so if we lose, that
will be my fault so I try to do my best.”
Yuki said, “The 1st game, we were lucky. In the 2nd game, Yashiro
san played a meaningless move so I was worried. But at the end that
move worked and I was surprised.” |
| |
Shei said, “When I played the wrong move,
Satoru sensei’s expression on his face was `You did well.’,
so I was relieved.”
Satoru Kobayashi said, “In the 2nd game, I dragged you down.
But I am glad that we won. Let’s do our best. Let’s win.”
Shei said, “Yes.” |
|
Tsukuda 5dan said, “You, two, have been
a pair before, haven’t you?”
Yamada 9dan said, “But Okada san doesn’t remember so since
this morning, I have been shocked. (audience laugh)”
Okada said, “If we win, I won’t forget.”
Yamada said, “Then, I want to win to be remembered by you.
(audience laugh)” |

Yoda said, “I am tired. I feel as if I
have played a 1 year’s worth.”
Kato said, “Yoda sensei said `If I win the 1st game, I will
definitely win the 2nd game.’ But we lost…”
Yoda said, “I don’t often win in Pair Go but once I proceed
to the 2nd day, I usually play in the final. Today, too, I
thought I could win… |
|
| because, I played against Izumi and Cho pair
before and at that time, Cho sensei was strict and Izumi san was
quiet. So I thought by the look of them, it is impossible for them
to win. However, this year, Cho sensei is kind. I have learnt that
Pair Go is such a wonderful game that it makes people grow up.”(audience
laugh) |
Konishi said, “Before, I said that I am
scared of Ishida sensei but I want to take back what I said.
This year, he is kind.”
Ishida said, “I have grown up a little, too.” (audience laugh)
Tsukuda said, “You, two, also have been a pair before, haven’t
you?”
Konishi said, “Yes. Now, I can tell what he thinks.” |
|
|
Ishida said, “I remembered that I played against
Konishi san at the final of the 1st Championship. Her partner was
Shoji Hashimoto sensei and we were defeated. At that time, I never
forgot that Hashimoto sensei was asking Konishi san to play an important
move but usually the female player asks the male player to do so.”
Konishi said, “Thank you for bringing back the memory.”
Ishida said, “We were lucky to proceed to the next round so let’s
do our best!” |
| The quarterfinal will be held on Saturday, 9th
of December. Please look forward to it. |
