I agree we need a new challenger.
Perhaps Stefan (gogonuts), Shih-Chieh Huang  (Ajahuang), or David Ormerod
could play the next challenge match.

But after reviewing the last game, I almost have to question my sanity
and reason.
First, it seems so obvious now that I should have played h6,
and have one strong group eyeing the center.
Second, I had read out that white was ahead in the semeai, but when
Zen tenukied,
I somehow thought i could only get at p9, overlooking that I could play inside
at r8.

Maybe things are easier to see on a computer screen after all:-(

regards,
-John
