    Keywords: Tournament

Daiwa Shoken Cup is sponsored by the Daiwa Securities Group Inc. (大和証券グループ本社, Daiwa Shōken Gurūpu Honsha), one of the three largest brokerages in Japan.

The tournament consists of four concurrent round robin tournaments of four players each for a total of sixteen players.

 1st 2006 Takao Shinji      (d. Cho U 2-0)
 2nd 2007 O Meien           (d. Yoda Norimoto 2-0)

Blake: There has to be more information on this tournament. Is it a lightning tournament? It seems to have some sort of invitation mechanism, so that major title-holders are seeded into the final tournament and don't play in the league. According to one of the news sites, Takao (Meijin), Cho Chikun (10d), Kono Rin (Tengen), and Cho U (Gosei) were in the final tournament but didn't play in the leagues.

O was the only non-seeded player to pass the first round. He beat Kono Rin (W+R), Cho U (B+3.5), and Yoda (W+3.5, B+9.5).
