Josen
Josen is the phase in a series of matches between two players - like a jubango, where one player takes Black all the time. This is equivalent to a difference of one stone, or a "one-stone-handicap game". If three games in a row are won by the same player, or some other threshold, the handicap would shift to two stones. In confrontations between top players, players were spared the embarrassment, for the series would have been suspended long before even the Josen phase. A game, deciding over a shift in the handicap, is called KadoBan. This is a copy of the living page "Josen" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
