Ricoh Pair Go

The Ricoh Pair Go is a mixed-gender pair tournament sponsored by Ricoh and organized by the Japan Pair Go Association. Each team consists of one male and one female professional who alternate moves, creating a unique strategic dynamic not found in individual play. The tournament has an international dimension, with teams from multiple countries competing in some editions. Pair Go has been instrumental in promoting gender integration in professional Go and has become one of Japan's most popular spectator-friendly events.
