4th Youth WOC 2019, tOKYO, jAPAN

The fourth Youth World Championship was held in Tokyo, October 2019. 
The 43th WOC was planned to be held in Hong Kong. 24 youth players was registered. Circumstances, however, forced the WOC to move to Tokyo. However, 17 participants is good, given the circumstances. Again it was no Youth semifinals, because Akihiro Takahashi won the WOC 2019.
