Yes, congrats to Zen, thanks to John.

A game a day is tough against such a relentless bot.
John had the better fusekis in the later games, but Zen had robbed him of
his earlier power and self confidence.
The win in game one may have been lucky, but John earned his luck there.
As armchair psychologist, I would interpret some of Johns hasty moves in
later games as a lack of faith.
