I'm trying something newish, for me, and start studying a pro game a month, using something that's celebrated that particular month. Last Thursday, Sugiuchi-sensei, 8th dan, oldest active Go player, had her 98th birthday. Some 30 [31] years ago, she had a final against Ogawa Tomoko, of NHK and Ishi-Kiseido fame, sadly lost to cancer 4 years ago.

I've found that there are very few games by women that have been commented, and they're usually current. Maybe Rui Naiwei, if you're lucky, so I wanted to try my best with these.

For what's worth, I plan on doing something related to books in April (a game by one of the classic authors?), I'll try to find a mother-children game for May, and I don't know if I'll try astronomy in June. We'll see how it goes. In the meanwhile, I have to do several passes on this one. Original SGF file at waltheri; comments, mine.

Take care
