Your Move/Readers Write: "Tokyo Newcomer" Games Realistic, Redmond Says

"I just found 'Tokyo Newcomer' on the net," writes Michael Redmond 9P, "but I see that you covered it in the 'Go Spotting' column in 2014. The games in the movie were realistic, and there is a scene about 36 minutes into it that shows pros playing in what looks like elimination rounds for a hayago tournament. In this scene the main character is playing against Matsumoto Takehisa 7P. Takemiya Yoko 5P poses as a TV analyst for a game later."
