Girls Fight (2)

What is the difference between female's go and male's go? One of them is the violence of the game. Female's go usually involves more fight and more violence. If you are fighter on board or simply looking for an interesting game, looking at female tournaments is the answer.

Here I present you with 2 games from 2003. It was the title match of the 22nd Female Honinbo. The challenger was Yashiro Kumiko (5 dan) and the title holder was Kobayashi Izumi (5 dan). Yashiro won game, but Kobayashi Izumi showed her skill and won the next 3 games, defending her title. The interesting games came from game 2 and 3. Enjoy!
