Jasonred : Anyone have the follow-up to that? Apparantly, Chinese officials asked the Nihon-ki for clemency, so did Korea (whether cause they like him, or just to let people know they're paying attention...)
Are there any bigger details on the incident. Ryu Shikun didn't press charges, apparently, though I'm not too clear whether this was because:
a) He felt it was an internal affair for the Go fraternity.
b) He felt it was an honest accident, from a drunk friend.
c) This was in China, of all places.
In any case, the suspension seemed more because of his getting drunk and behaving badly, rather than any charges of assault and such.
So, as I said, anyone got more details?
oh, and how's his performance been since then?
Here's some more info on the incident: http://www.msoworld.com/mindzine/news/orient/go/international/intl_briefs.html
To me, it doesn't sound like the kind of thing meriting a suspension.
I saw someone (Jasonred) asked Satoru's performance since then. Well, I know of a record of 8 wins and 3 losses, though he probably played a lot more matches since the incident. But enough about this,
