Concerning the anecdote about Kobayashi, with permission I pass this on from John Power:
"About 30 years ago, Koichi told me that he had played through the complete games of Shusaku ten times. There was also a high-level book of L&D problems often studied by inseis (perhaps compiled by Segoe) that he said he had gone through 20 times. At one time I remembered what it was, but foolishly didn't make a note.
"On another occasion, Koichi said his favourite old player was Shuei."
