Mr. Yoshikuni said, ‘Thank you for coming, everyone. This is the 14th year of the tournament, which is a long time, because of the cooperation of the sponsor, Ricoh Company. And the popularity seems to be increasing, too. Especially, overseas, when there is a Go tournament, they also play Pair Go so it is very popular there. For you to study Go, I hope this tournament will keep going for a long time.
For everyone, I am sure you will learn something, so I hope your strength will increase today.’ |
