This year the Chinese sent a team of eight players under 28 and under 8-dan to Japan. The defending side fielded various teams of players under 8-dan and under 26 in a series of seven matches played between 19 and 30 April. The touring team scored 38 wins to 18 losses. The Japanese lost one of the matches 0-8 (on 4/26), the second time this has happened. Individual best-of-three matches were held in the 5th to 7th rounds of the tour, and here the Chinese won six out of eight. Most successful of the tourists was Liao Guiyong 7-dan, who won all of his games. Two players had 6-1 records: Shao 4-dan and Zhang Xuan 7-dan. Zhang is one of the top women players in China. Another woman who did well, with 5-2, is Yang Hui 7-dan, the wife of Tsao 9-dan.
