Segoe wrote about going to Hawaii by ship in 1949 and being waylaid by an enthusiastic German passenger who wanted teaching games.

His name was something like Stanbach (Sutanbakku) and he was about 35. He was returning to Germany from Shanghai, and had picked up an expensive board and stones (presumably in Japan).

Segoe does not say which language they spoke in (but it would presumably be Japanese or Chinese). The German was too weak to take even 9 stones, but after spending a lot of money on equipment it would a little surprising if he gave up the game easily when he got back home. Not to mention that he'd have a tale or two to brag about, having met a world-class player.

But there are no other details and Franco Pratesi's Eurogo does not mention him.

Can anyone shed any more light, please?

The German Go Magazine (Go-Blatt) started in 1952 after World War 2.

Noone of the names in the list of Go players (December 1952) started with "Ste" oder "Sta", also no article about this person/journey in 1952.
