Games of Cho Chikun in the Ryusei
The Ryusei is a satellite and cable TV tournament. The preliminary rounds are win and continue tournaments. Players with the longest winning streaks and the last players remaining go into a knock-out final. The system has changed a little bit over the years, it started with four groups and an 8 player knock-out final, but since the 11th installment (2001/2002) it is 8 groups with 16 that go to the final.
The collection of games is complete now: all the Ryusei games can be found on www.igoshogi.net. That site uses the date the game was played (not the broadcast date), so I have changed a few of the dates to fit that system.
