Biography
The Agon Cup is a Go competition endorsed by the Nihon Kiin. It was started in 1994 [1] by Agon Shu. The name was originally the "Acom Cup" but it changed its sponsor in 1999 and became the Agon Cup. It is a single knockout tournament, but unlike the big titles in Japan, the title holder does not wait for a challenger, hence the difficulty of defending the title. The prize for the winner is 10,000,000 Yen ($86,000).
