Igo Pro vs. Shogi Pro

A friend of mine asked me whether there is a cross tournament between shogi pros and igo pros. Well, I'm wondering what kind of tournament will it be. LOL :p

However, there is a go record between igo pro vs. shogi pro.

This is a 6 handicap game between the "Killer" Kato Masao vs. the grand slam of shogi, Yoshiharu Habu in a special game (if I'm not mistaken) for promoting a book.


Yoshiharu Habu


Kato Masao
