2023 U.S. GO CONGRESS DAILY REPORT: Tuesday, July 11
PRO-PRO PAIR GO SPECIAL: Stephanie Yin 1P and Satoshi Yanigisawa 6P teamed up to defeat Eunkyo Do 1P and Han Han 5P in yet another special self-organized event on Tuesday afternoon. The showdown took place in the Strong Players Room and was streamed live on YouTube by the EJ broadcast team, with commentary by Ryan Li 4P, hosted by Soren Jaffe 6d (CLICK HERE to see the video). A live video feed showed all four players and Satoshi’s heart rate display (like Ryan Li’s the day before) provided an interesting data point for commentators and observers alike, as did the simultaneous AI evaluation display. “That heart rate monitor is very interesting,” said one viewer, “We need one for each team!”
