Li League - Match 11 - Senko vs Fukuoka

  The 2nd half of the season will start soon! I haven't a clue if it will be standard rules, Blitz or something special... No doubt we will find out very soon. Pairings Eek, Poor Yanagihara Saki cannot catch a break getting Ueno Asami in the return match but as a major plus for Fukuoka this is a pretty good match up tbh. Hoshia Shiho (3040) versus Chiaki Mukai (3055) might be the decided but in the first round Jo Bun'en was the only Fukuoka winner and this time she (at 2923) is up against Tsuji Hana (2803). I think Tsuji Hana played beyond her level in her previous bouts so two of these matches could go either way.  Now some of the Board choices are interesting. In the first match Fukuoka put Saki on 1, Shiho on 2 and Bun'en on 3. Senko put Izawa Akino on 1, Ueno Asami on 2 and Chiaki Mukai on 3. So Fukuoka kept Board 1 the same and switched 2 & 3 and Senko kept 3 the same and switched 1 & 2. I think having Fukuokas Captain available to take on the Senko co-captai...
