Scenes from the British Pair Go Championships 2004
Fujitsu Cup
Britain's Matthew Macfadyen got to play this year as a reserve instead of Frenchman Andre Moussa. The other reserve Frank Janssen was absent as he was becoming a father for the first time. The tournament proved really good for Romania, who only lost to each other. Cristian Pop put Macfadyen out in round one but lost the final to the new FJ Cup champion, Catalin Taranu.
Brussels GP
Won by Park ahead of Guo and Danek. T.Mark Hall (4 dan) was equal fourth.
