You mean to tell me you've never played against adults in a Go salon?
Not really. I mean I've been to a Go salon, but I kinda just watched.

You mean to tell me you've never played against adults in a Go salon?
Not really. I mean I've been to a Go salon, but I kinda just watched.
Then it'll be like a team competition. You know, us against them.
Team competition?
It'll be way more fun than us playing separately.
It's been a while since I've been in a team competition. I always seem to be number 3, in the Go club...
[Everyone realizes the supposedly bad move Hikaru made earlier was part of a long term strategy]
I thought that move of his was a mistake, but now it's put him in a great position.
That move Shindo made earlier wasn't a mistake at all. He was anticipating a battle for the upper left corner.
He was fully aware he was going to lose ground in the middle of the board. But now all of a sudden, Shindo has the advantage.
I have to keep playing the same way I always do. Try to ignore them. I'm playing Shindo now, so forget about Toya and Suyong! [accidentally plays his stone in the wrong spot] I went to atari from the wrong side.
Sai, did he just move a stone? Sai, did you see it? Changing your mind after your fingers have left the stone means you have to forfeit the match.
Sai, did Isumi take his fingers off the stone before he moved it?
It did look as though that's what happened, but I can't say for sure. If he did move the stone he should be disqualified immediately. Hikaru?
He hasn't said anything. Is it because he didn't actually let go of the stone? Or is it because... no, we wouldn't. I have to know if his hand came off the stone or not. Do you think it'd be OK if I just ask him?
You are not really going to confront him, are you? Hikaru!
Isumi's still undefeated. I've got one loss, and only three of us can become pros.
Hikaru, just be careful that you don't-
Isu...
I'm resigning. [leaves]
He knows he cheated, so he resigned. At least I won the game. This is a big win for me.
How did he win? Isumi was in total control of the game. What happened?
The reason I lost my match today was all because of Isumi! How could he do that to me? He completely ruined my concentration. He ruined everything!
Hikaru, Hikaru!
I had given up. I could have won!
Too bad. I was kind of disappointed. You were my biggest hurdle to getting through this exam undefeated, but not anymore. You haven't even recovered from that game against Shindo, have you? I don't know why I ever thought of you as a serious threat. My goal of staying undefeated is much easier now. Thanks to you-
Ochi. Shut your mouth.
He's managed to invade this deep already? If he does any more damage, I'm gonna lose territory. I'm not gonna let him take control that easily. He'll see.
I've always known what a strong player Ochi is, but I never once thought he could beat me.
Thank you, Ochi. You helped me refocus on my game.
If this match shows the kind of level that Shindo's playing at right now, then 3 weeks won't be enough! It won't be enough time!
I think you've got plenty of time, especially now that I'm here to work with you.
If his stone stays there, he'll win. But if I eliminate it then I win, and I finally pass the pro exam.
Can I do it? Can I stay alive?
[referring to Hikaru] I can't believe that he once hesitated because he feared my moves.
