Well testing my instinct to answer means I'm learning to recognize first move on sight which is memorizing, just not blind no thinking memorizing.

And if you are lucky enough that your opponent reads out the same 130 plays, you are good to go. :blackeye:

BTW, did Tamura himself make that claim or was this another nice story by a commentator?


I have seen the claim in a couple of different sources, but neither one written by Shusai himself. :)

Reading out 130 moves in the end game isn't as complicated as reading out two moves in the opening in my opinion.
