Jubango
   

A jubango is a contest between two players consisting of ten games. Typically the games in these matches were not played with a komi, but according to a system that changes the handicap in function of who wins the previous game.

The master of jubango is undoubtedly Go Seigen. In part becasue of his somewhat unique position in the Nihon Ki-in, newspaper organised several matches between Go and the other top players of the mid 1930s to 1950s. Here is Go's record in jubango go (from [ext] Andrew Grant's pages):

  match abandoned at 3-3
