                    Kapitel 2: 2nd challenge Japan-America
                    --------------------------------------


I like this homepage, because it’s full of wonders and people with the same
interests like me. Last year I studied in Germany, but now I am back in Japan.
After my studies  I will work as an Au pair in America, for one year. At home,
I, a young woman, am the best at the Go-Club of my hometown. But we are only
five members there. It’s a very new club, founded by me, because the other
clubs have too many members for me.
Today, we practise Go. We had all been members of Animexx before the Go-Club
existid. New opponents were  waiting for us. My knowledge of German is very
important on this German homepage. Time to play. 
First the appeal: “Neue Gegener gesucht: Wer traut sich?” 
One moment of waiting and already three answers via ENS. Not bad, that means, I
can meet my opponent. It’s a boy,  I’m happy, because I like it more to win
against a boy than against a girl. 
I am pleased: “Du darfst anfangen”. 
I will give him a chance. 
“Danke”, he shortly replies.
Catch my if you can, smart boy with 5kyu. We play on the board of 19x19, the
hardest. I ask him about his age and I get only the number 17 for an answer. He
is very monotonous. Okay, if he doesn’t want to speak, I will make a very fast
end. Stone after stone. White angel over black hole. I win. What a miracle!
“ Do you train with champions or what, 30kyu-girl!” 
Oh, he can speak. 
“ I play at a Go-club. Why did you write in English, when you answered on my
appeal in German?”, that is very mysterious. 
“I came from America, but I thought you come from Germany”, he confesses to
me. 
“No, I am from Japan”, I begin the second game: 
“Next year I will work as an Au pair in America”. 
“Then I don’t wonder that you can play Go so well. Your club has surely over
30 members”, he writes a little bit angrily. 
“No, we are only five members. On my ‘wanted’ poster you find the others.
At the moment, we all train at Animexx, because tomorrow there is a competion
near here”, I answer full of joy. 
“Oh, wow. Do you look at the board or do you concentrate on the comments,
because, I think I will win”, he asks. 
“Shit, I forgot myself. But I can win. Look!”. 
But it’s too late: “Next time I will win!”. 
“Yes, I see”, he replies.
