The World Amateur Go Championship was held in Tokyo May
23-26 with a record
forty-four countries and territories participating, including new entries from Indonesia and Slovakia. For the first three days it was a
one-woman show, as Kan Ying of Hong Kong defeated one strong opponent after another, culminating in wins over Park
Sung-Kyun of Korea and Hirata Hironori of Japan. On the fourth day, however, Kan suffered consecutive losses to Shi Hongyi of China and
Jong-Moon Lee of the United States. Hirata beat Park by half a point in what proved the deciding game in the final round to capture his first world championship in six tries. Shi was second by one SOS point.
