Tengen (天元, "center" or "origin of heaven") is the center point on a Go board. For the position, see the article about Go terms. It is also the name of a Go competition in Japan.

Tengen Competition (天元戦)

The Tengen competition is a Go competition used by the Japanese Nihon-Kiin and Kansai-Kiin. The Tengen is the 5th of the 7 big titles in Japanese Go. It uses the format like the other tournaments. There is a preliminary tournament, which is single knockout, where the winner faces the holder in a best-of-five match. Before the 6th Tengen, the format was different. Instead of the title holder waiting for a challenger, it would be the two players left from the single knockout tournament who then played a best-of-five match to determine the holder.
