Now, The Ricoh Cup Professional Pair Go Championship
2007 played by 32 professionals, 16 pairs, is coming to the end.
The Final game is left.
Is it going to be Suzuki and Cho pair’s victory again? Or will Okada
and Yamada pair win for the first time? Finally, I would like to
conclude this report by introducing those pairs’ comments of their
happiness and their ambition for the final game. |
Okada 6dan said, “I can’t believe that
I came all this way. The secret of wining in Pair Go is just
the male professional player’s patience.”
Yamada 9dan said, “At the game of the quarterfinal, I thought
I played Go which would not lose from the beginning of the
game but at the semi final, I was ready for many stones to
be taken by the opponent. I was lucky.”
Okada 6dan said, “The opponent at the final is a strong pair
but I am hoping they will let us win, this time.”
Yamada 9dan nodded with smile. |

Cho Gosei said, “At the quarter final,
I played freely but at the semi final, from the beginning,
I had a hard time so I think we were lucky that we won. And
most of all, Ayumi chan did very well.”
Suzuki 3dan said, “At the semi final, at the beginning, I
played bad moves and I couldn’t look at U Cho san’s face.
But I thought it was not good to play feeling bad, so I was
trying to calm myself down.”
Tsukuda 5dan said, “Is that what made you win?”
Suzuki 3dan said, “No, What led us to win was just the real
power of U Cho sensei.”
Cho Gosei said, “Last year, too, we were a pair and we get
on well so I feel relaxed to play. This pair never lost a
game so I want to make a record.”
Suzuki 3dan said, “The pair we will play at the final, we
played at the 1st game. And it was a game that I didn’t know
if I could win till the end of the game. I am sure the game
at the final will be a severe game but I will do my best!”
