Hi

I am searching specific Go (board game) tournament commentaries that show Go games around 2005-2016 (can also be newer ones) that seem to be from Japanese TV.

They show the professional Go tournament, where the players are filmed and there are cuts to a studio where a woman and a man look at the game and comment on it. Playing along, talking about the used strategies and playing possible moves to then see what the tournament players do. The commentators play on a big Go board that hangs on the wall and they use big magnetic play stones to show the moves. The commentator was sometimes Michael Redmond or Cho Chikun but also other professional go players, mostly Japanese.

They were really great to watch and learn, also just to relax as the overseer told the time in almost meditative intervals, to let the players know how much time they used (if I remember correctly).

The videos are low quality, I think 480px or 520px (or better, long time a go when I watched them) but had English subtitles.

I searched but had no luck until now, mostly because YouTube thinks I want to watch Shorts (even if filtered out), the search is not was it used to be…

I found some clips of the tournaments but not the full recording (Which say it is from the NHK Cup but I do not find more recordings with this information):

There were a lot of the games, I can remember watching a dozen and they were all around 1-1.5H.
