Weird, I'll investigate. Thanks for taking the time to post the screen capture!

Hmmm, does the game display properly at your end? I see the eidogo thingy but there is a message over it ("There was a problem retrieving the game data.") and the game cannot be played.

I think pajaro alludes to the Honinbo becoming a best-of-5 title and games not being played over two days anymore. Also, the league was done away with. If I remember correctly, this happened 2/3 years ago.

Here is the game. Sumire is playing against former female #1, Yu Zhiying .

I can't comment on the ko thing but I found the position at 78 interesting in terms of contrast: Black has four corners and White nice potential.

(Is there a way to have the sgf reader displayed in the message, like in the ...

It seems to be working for me...

Yesterday marked one year since Mrs. Sugiuchi last played in an official game (a loss against Yamamoto Masato in the 52nd Tengen).
Here is a link to the game record : https://igo-kifu.com/kifu/102477.

I finished reading the book and studying the games so here is a mini-review.

As always the introductory section on Kita Fumiko and the go world of her times is very interesting.

As for the commentaries themselves, what I found most interesting is that you get the commentary as published in the ...

I never met Richard Bozulich but he nevertheless had a great influence on my go career.

The first club I attended, back in 2002, had a rather well furnished library. As an eager beginner, I was tasked with becoming the club librarian (it could be that I asked :lol:). As a result I had all those ...

I'm back too and glad to see the forum is still there (build it and they will come?). Many thanks to the people involved!

I haven't done much with go over the last couple of years but I'm slowly getting back into things. Bought a couple of John Fairbairn's books (Kita Fumiko and Archers of Yue) and ...

Not exactly what you asked for but, during the late 1930s, evening editions of the Chosun Ilbo often featured a sunjang game. Here is for instance a game played between 蔡極文 and 柳鎭河, that I converted into a sgf file. It was published in fourteen installments from March 29, 1936 to April 15, 1936 ...

It was included in the download. Look for a file named "gra-index".

I hope you'll enjoy GR has much as I do!

The first issues are a bit...rough. Most notably, the English terminology is not always the one we're used to but that somehow adds to the charm. It's interesting to witness (part of) the history of Western go being written in real time.

In the early 1980's in Japan I bought a two-volume set of commented pro vs. pro handicap games, Pro vs Pro Actual handicap Games, ( プロ 対 プロ 置碁実戦譜 ) published by Sankaido. There are games at hndicaps from two stones to nine stones, e.g a seven stone game between Miyamoto 9-dan and Shiraishi 9-dane ...
