Pearson Wins Through To Honinbo Final



Go fans everywhere were not too stunned, actually, when the last stone was played in the Pearson/Wilkins game on Tuesday night. Despite an opening session that left some of his groups hanging on the edge of life, David came roaring back on the second day to do what he usually does at the end of a game - kill stuff. And in an odd coincidence (if you still believe in those) David came back from 0-1 in the tournament to win 6 straight and secure his place in the final. Weak opening, you say? False sense of security, you say? Well, if you ever find yourself sitting across the board from a man who has the words "Quantum Cryptography" embroidered on his shirt, you jolly well know your dead meat.

Take my advice and pay attention - what he's about to do to you may be painful, but is nothing more than some really good Go.
