As a professional go player, what are your goals for the next five years? If you were asked this question, how would you answer? Consultation One If I look back at the last five years . . . I've done nothing special! (laughs) In five years' time, I hope to be stronger than I am now. I hope to do my best so that I can win my way a little closer to the top in the women's tournaments and make my name better known. My immediate goal is to earn promotion to 6-dan. To go up from 5-dan, you have to wins 90 games since becoming 5-dan. (The women's tournaments are not counted.) I reached 5-dan five and a half years ago, and since then I guess I've won about 50 games. I hope to be promoted within five years, so I am making efforts every day and doing my best.
