Mochy posted this nice update at BGO describing some of the action at this year's Japan Open.

Among other things, he reports that there are some well-known U.S. players in the competition, to wit: Phil Simborg, Dan Simbog, Carter Mattig, Jake Jacobs, MCG, Patrick Gibson, Douglas Mayfield, Tuvya Felt, Eric Petersen, David Wells, Roberto Litzenberger, and Gary Bauer.

Here is the link for the video stream. It's high-quality. I am watching Matt Cohn-Geier play Kiyokazu Nishikawa as I post this. Matches are nice and long: 15 points.

Perfect thing to watch as the sun comes up. Thanks so much...I think. Now I will probably stay up until noon.

Thanks a bazillion!

P.S. I wish they were annotated in difficult spots. I volunteer to help although I am an irregular poster.

Here's a good excuse for watching another sunrise. You can now download TXT or XG files for several of the matches from the Japan Open!
