Japan's go genius Sumire Nakamura (15), who declared his challenge to the Korea Foundation, said, "I want to be ranked second in the Korean women's rankings within five years."

Nakamura 3 dan held a joint press conference at the Korea Baduk Association in Seongdong-gu, Seoul on the 4th, and said, "The level of Korean Go is high, and Choi Jung, Kim Eun-ji, and Oh Yu-jin 9 dan are not easy for me to overcome, so in reality, I think it will be too much to top the list. I set my goal based on the judgment that the second place alone has raised my skills enough." "I think my current skills in Korea are around 15th in the rankings," he said. "After staying for five years, achieving my goal will be determined by my efforts."

Nakamura Sumire, a third-tier player, answers reporters' questions with a bright face at a news conference held at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the 4th.

Nakamura, who started playing Go at the age of three thanks to his father Shinya Nakamura, a Japanese professional Go player, moved to Korea in 2017 and studied for about two years, improving his skills. In response, the Japan Foundation hired Nakamura as a special player for gifted students in April 2019. He was 10 years old at the time, the youngest Go player in the history of Japanese Go players. Nakamura also became the youngest Go player to win the 26th Japanese female Gisaeng in February last year.

Nakamura started his challenge on the Korean stage in August last year by submitting an application to the Korea Foundation. On the 3rd, when he made his debut in Korea, he lost to Lee Chang-seok, the 16th-ranked player, in 220 attempts in the first round of the final round of the Sofalcosanol's top knight-decision.

Regarding the background of the Korean challenge, Nakamura said, "I know that Korea is not an easy challenge because there are so many strong articles, and of course, there is anxiety," and emphasized, "I wanted to learn a lot on my own and become strong in a country with a high level."

Nakamura will play Park Jung-hwan 9th dan in the final round of the Sofalcosanol on the 11th. "I'm happy just to meet the driver I've always respected," Nakamura said with a smile. "I'm nervous because he's one of the best in the world, but I have high expectations."

Nakamura, who turned 15 on the last two days, enjoys listening to K-pop, especially IU's songs. He also likes kimchi stew as much as he eats it every day. "I want to watch movies with my friends in Korea and go to karaoke," Nakamura said, expressing his dream of living in Korea.

Finally, Nakamura said, "International exchange is important, so I want to develop further while learning the strengths of Korea and Japan," adding, "I don't want to be specific because there are so many competitions, but I want to win one win first."  토토사이트 순위
