13-year-old Sumire Nakamura, a 13-year-old professional Go player, takes on the challenge of becoming the youngest ever to win the title. She won the Bijo-ryu double crown (21) and made it 1 win and 1 loss.
On the 26th, Nakamura 3rd Dan faced Ueno Women's Double Crown in the 2nd game of the 3rd game of the "Women's Kisei Battle", one of the women's title matches, at the Nihon Ki-in in Tokyo.
Nakamura 3rd Dan will break the record set by Rina Fujisawa (24) in 2014 as the youngest to win the title at the age of 15 years and 9 months if she wins twice.
The second game, which welcomed the Ueno Women's Double Crown with one win, started at 1:00 pm with the first hand of the black Ueno Women's Double Crown.
In the match, Nakamura 3rd Dan was pressed for time and it was a difficult development, but he recovered from the middle stage and at 3:07 pm, Nakamura 3rd Dan won by half an eye with 235 moves and won the close battle.
Nakamura, 3rd dan, with 1 win and 1 loss, answered reporters after the game, saying, "I regretted not believing in my own power in the first game, but today, even if the situation is bad, I will play Go in my own way." I hit it. In the third game, rather than winning or losing, I want to choose the move I want to hit and use my strength."
On the other hand, Ueno Women's Double Crown, who lost, said, "We were in a good position from the beginning, and I'm reflecting on the slackness.
The third round of the "Women's Kisei Battle" will be held at Nihon Ki-in in Tokyo on the 6th of next month.
