jubango

Jubango (十番碁) is a Japanese term for a Go match consisting of at most 10 games. Whoever wins 6 games first is the winner of the match. Some notable Jubango players are Go Seigen, Kitani Minoru and Honinbo Shuei.These matches are usually spread over long time periods, with gaps of months possible between games. They were also peripatetic, taking place in different venues. Both these features make them different from modern mind sports matches, which tend to be held over a short time in a definite location. Modern go title matches have adapted these characteristics of a jubango.
