Japanese system of selecting players must be changed!

Japanese veteran Ishida Yoshio, 9p (62 years old) got the right to
represent Japan in Fujitsu cup-2010.  I like his Go,
I like his Go books, but I doubt that he can fight with young Koreans and Chinese.

Yoda has much bigger chances in main tournament and he had 9-2 score with Ishida, but
he lost his game without any chances after the terrible fuseki.
Why I am so pessimistic about Ishida?
If we check his results with foreign players, we can find this reason:

He is in plus only against Jimmy Cha and Seo Nunwook,  but has terrible
score with top pros:

0-3 with Cho Hunhyun
0-2 with Nie Weiping
0-1 with Seo Bongsu
1-3 with Yoo Changhyuk
0-2 with Yu Bin
0-1 with Lee Changho
0-2 with Ma Xiaochun
0-1 with Quin Yuping
0-1 with Yang Jaeho

1-16 in total!!!

If they had a trainer in Japan, who can decide, which players to invite to
Japanese team (like in football), I am sure, he will not take Ishida even
as reserve!
I am sure, that Japanese have to change the current system, if they want to
get any impressive results in international tournaments!
Handmade representatives selection is necessary!!!

Ishida Yoshio just crushed Mok Jinseok 9p in the fujitsu cup. I hope you are less pessimistic now :)

Indeed. I also think that they should just choose the player. Perhaps held a preliminary for just 1 or 2 non top players....

btw do anyone know how much slots each country get for Fujitsu cup?

"..he lost his game without any chances after the terrible fuseki."

Can you please elaborate on that?
It didn't seem like such a terrible fuseki to me, so I'd like to understand that part better.

Another problem for the Japanese team was that Takao Shinji and Iyama Yuta were in the same group... two of the best non-seeded Japanese players, and only one of them could qualify. Actually, Iyama lost before he met Takao, but still...

I agree with what you say, but it will be greatly entertaining if Ishida's lucky win here turns into a win streak in the Fujitsu!
