Jo Bun'en - Fukuoka 25-56

 

The last member of team Fukuoka is 2 Dan Jo Bun'en (徐 文燕) a 20 year old from Tokyo who became Professional at.

Last year she was on the winning team with a 2 win 4 loss result over the competition as the 3rd player of the team. She is noted as a close friend of both Fujisawa Rina and Ueno Risa.

Her mother and father are from Shanghai so is of Chinese origin.

Her playstyle is aggressive with her commenting

Originally I like taking stones, and want to capture if possible

With Fujisawa Rina once commenting post a handicap win

Contrary to her image, it's quite powerful; I struggled the whole time... thrilling Go.

 Her own comments show a perceived slight weakness in openings (don't we all) and yose misreads making end game intermittently problematic yet she still does well in fighting.


ELO currently stands at 2849 making her the #690th best player in the world.

Chart shows a drop but that's only 50 points over 4 years so is semi-stable.
