new ISP Banzuke for Nagoya 2005

[Feginowaka]

Our only Ozeki made his usual minimal kk to hold his rank and the top Ozeki candidate Hoshifransu failed with a dismal 5-10 (after scoring 9-6 and 12-3 in the previous 2 Basho).

For next Basho we have an Ozeki contender again after scoring 9-6 and 10-5 in the recent 2 Basho: Maguroyama.

This must have been a difficult basho for a change as the average score was below 7.0 !

For the players it might have been unpleasant, but for me as Banzuke maker it was a delight :-P

Therefore scoring a kk was worth a mint: In Makushita some players got heavy promotions with a simple 8-7.

The bigger the kk, the bigger the promotion, especially in the lower divisions.

Any 10-5 in Juryo was enough for promotion to Makuuchi, even from J10e.

Ok, enough talk for now, here is the ISP Banzuke for Nagoya Basho 2005:

Makuuchi

Ekigozan (Oe 8-7)

Sorry for my inaccuracy, I really "forgot" to put your name on my list. (Oops! )

Fortunately the Banzuke doesn't change that much and I will correct it immediatly.

[Hashira]

i don't feel too insulted :'-(

You can count me as "RETIRED". I stop this game. I'm too bad ^_^,,,,,

It's official now (Blinking...)

Thanks you. ;-)

[Fujisan]

Normally J12w-J8w would be what I consider a lucky promotion with an 8-7 W/L record but after scrapping my way from 2-7 on day 9 I think I earnt it. (Nodding yes...) (Punk rocker...) (Applauding...)

I think i will make a personal goal list for the sumo games in 2005/2006. This will include:

* surpassing Fujisan in ISP (big challenge i think)

* surpassing Ryukaze in Sumogame

* becoming a Ozeki in Hoshitori (far away after the last 1-14)

* making the first five rounds in Chain gang

* making a kk in S4

* promotion to Makushita in Bench

(i already made a kk in S4)

Hmmmmm I'm not sure whether to be honoured or scared that you use me as a bench mark in ISP Asamoe (Eh?)

I guess 8 KKs in a row is something to be proud of but I'm just getting started,I have my eyes set on Makuuchi. (Dribbling...)

As for sumo game I think my 8 KKs in 9 basho playing the game is nothing to be sniffed at either-

Another game I hope to be in Makuuchi by the beginning of next year. :-D

Unfortunately, you should be more honored than scared, as there is only a VERY SMALL possibility of this to happen. But i am used to high targets.

This remainds of something off-topic:

Back in the mid of the nineties i was a member of an internet chess club (gics = german interchess server) and someone wrote a c++ program, which also played on the server. The program was awfully bad and it was very easy to beat it. At least if you are a regular.

One day, with a couple of pieces more than the program i produced a stalemate. After this i became a benchmark for chess programs.

If someone remembers, my name in these times was moe, i think.
