In the 23rd World Amateur Go Championship, held from 10 to 14 June in Hyuga, in Miyazaki Prefecture. This city has a strong connection with go, being the only place in the world to manufacture clam-shell go stones; it has seven factories active, although nowadays the local supply has been largely exhausted, so the stones are imported from Mexico. It is also a leading manufacturer of kaya go boards, which are another luxury item. Every year the city holds a Clam Shell Go Stones Festival, which was moved up from its usual timing in November to coincide with the tournament.
This year most of the attention was focused on the 14-year-old Korean representative, Ko Keun-tae; Ko is the current Korean amateur champion and has hopes of becoming a professional. His cheerful, self-confident manner showed that he was not overawed by the occasion, but he stumbled in the fourth round, losing to Wang Yee Hsun of Hong Kong China; because of that, he was not even matched against Kanazawa. He did play Li in the final round, but the latter was already assured of first place even if he lost, as he had the top SOS. Ko lost and had to be content with fourth place.
In retrospect, the key game of the tournament came in the sixth round, when the only undefeated players, Kanazawa and Li, were matched. Li's win opened up the path to victory
