I guess I should add that wife Kazuko 8p (DOB 1927-3-6) is taking it relatively easy today in the Judan C preliminary with a game against Horimoto Mitsunari 3p (DOB 1989-10-23) a mere 62 years 7 months her junior!

Sugiuchi Watch
This one almost slipped past me. Today (9/4) Sugiuchi Masao 9p will square off against Fujimura Yosuke 2p in the B preliminary of the Oza. Sugiuchi (DOB 1920-10-20) is 74 years 6 months older than Fujimura (DOB 1995-4-13). Best of luck to Sugiuchi-sensei, who (AFAIK) is still chasing that first 70+ age difference victory!

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
Unfortunately once again experience did not prevail over youthful energy. The Sugiuchi family did not manage to pick up a win despite being a combined 137 years older than their two opponents. We'll keep watching!

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
Today Sugiuchi Masao, who will celebrate his 94th birthday on Monday (10/20), squares off against Kazama Jun 2p, DOB 1991-2-2, 70 years and 3 months his junior. They meet in the preliminaries of the Judan-sen. Here's hoping that Sugiuchi-sensei wins and finally cracks the 70+ year barrier. He deserves an early birthday present!

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
Imagine a Go Seigen match against Sugiuchi Masao as his birthday present. Then he would be the youngster.

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
Sad to say, youth triumphed once again Kazama 1 - Sugiuchi 0. So there is no special birthday present this year. Oh well, we'll have to see whether Sugiuchi-sensei can turn the trick at age 94!

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
Yessss!!!
The tables for the preliminary tournament for the 40th Kisei appeared this week and what should we find in group 5?...
So what happens is Shibano Toramaru 1p (芝野 虎丸, DOB 1999/11/9) and Sotoyanagi Sebun 1p (外柳 是聞, DOB 1994/12/23) square off to get things rolling. The winner then plays Sugiuchi Masao (DOB 1920-10-20). Naturally I am hoping for Shibano to win so that we get a match up with an age difference of a whopping 79 years and 20 days. With Sotoyanagi we have to settle for a mere 74 years and 2 months. Where's the fun in that!
Unfortunately mamumamu0413's ratings site gives Sugiuchi-sensei only a 23% probability of beating Shibano and 20% of beating Sotoyanagi, but we'll hope for the best! No dates have been announced yet.

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
In December Sotoyanagi beat Shibano so we will watch for the Sugiuchi-Sotoyanagi match up real soon now. Meanwhile, however, Sugiuchi-sensei will square off against Tsuneishi Takashi 2p in the Gosei preliminaries today (1/8). By now this is an almost 'normal' 70-year gap as Tsuneishi was born in 1991.

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
What is the record of Sugiuchi in recent years?
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

He is listed as 5 wins and 6 losses in 2014 on mamumamu0413's ratings site.

That is impressive at his age.

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
Hmmm... I am starting to think that there may be something to this "watched pot never..." stuff. 
There is no joy in Tokyo this week as Tsuneishi advances in the Gosei.

Re: Sugiuchi Watch
I think it probably has more to do with a "watched 94 year old".

Re: Kirby's Study Journal
DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday (1/15) Sugiuchi 9p (DOB 1920-10-20) and Sotoyanagi 1p (DOB 1994-12-23) squared off in the Kisei preliminaries. The result: Sugiuchi 1 - Sotoyanagi 0. AFAIK this is the first time a professional has beaten another pro more than 70 years his/her junior. Well done Sugiuchi-sensei!
