Yasui Sanchi
Yasui Sanchi (安井算知, 1617–1703) was a Japanese professional Go player, and second head of the Yasui house. He became ''Meijin''-'' godokoro'' in 1668. It has always been said''Go Monthly Review'' 1963/5 p.54 that this promotion was achieved by a backstairs route, with influence exerted by the head of the Matsudaira clan. A related anecdote has Hon'inbō San'etsu facing down Lord Matsudaira during an earlier official ''oshirogo ''Oshirogo'' (御城碁 "castle Go") or castle games were official matches of high-level Go played in Japan during the Edo period, usually in the castles of the ''shōgun''. Players were mostly from the four go houses. Matches were played in th ...'' against Sanchi. The Hon'inbō house did not take this lying down. From 1668 to 1675 Hon'inbō Dōetsu played a twenty-game match against Sanchi (they had played in 1649, but after that there was a dearth of competitive games). Dōetsu had the better of it with Black, earning the right to a gam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yasui House
In the history of Go in Japan, the four Go houses were four major schools of Go instituted, supported, and controlled by the state, at the beginning of the Tokugawa shogunate. (There were also many minor houses.) At roughly the same time shogi was organised into three houses. Here "house" implies an institution run on the recognised lines of the ''iemoto'' system common in all Japanese traditional arts. In particular, the house head had, in three of the four cases, a name handed down: Inoue Inseki, Yasui Senkaku, Hayashi Monnyu. References to these names, therefore, mean to the contemporary head of the house. The four houses were the Honinbo, Hayashi, Inoue, and Yasui. They were originally designed to be on a par with each other, and competed in the official castle games called ''oshirogo''. The houses Hon'inbō The Hon'inbō house (本因家) was easily the strongest school of Go for most of its existence. It was established in 1612 and survived until 1940. Upon the closure ...

Sen-ai-sen
Professional Go handicaps were a system developed in Japan, in the Edo period, for handicapping professional players of the game of Go against each other. With the abolition of the Oteai system, which from the 1920s had used some handicap games to determine the Go ranking of professional players, this system has become obsolete. It is now completely superseded by the use of ''komidashi''. Knowledge of it is required to understand the conditions of play in historical Go matches, particularly the jubango that died out around 1960. Pro levels The professional Go ranks have traditionally been divided into nine levels, with shodan or 1 dan being the initial grade for a student player certified as professional (''kishi'' in Japanese). The ranks go up to 9 dan, the whole system being based on old customs from the Chinese Imperial court. (The imperial court had 1 pin as highest and 9 pin as lowest however). To this day there are nine professional dan levels in China and South Korean as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hon'inbō Dōsaku
Hon'inbō Dōsaku (本因坊道策, 1645–1702) was a professional Go player. Biography Dōsaku was one of the greatest Go players in history. He was born in the Iwami Province of Japan and studied Go in the Hon'inbō school, becoming Meijin at a very young age. Dōsaku was the fourth Hon'inbō by the time he was 32, and the fourth Meijin by the time he was 33. He started to learn Go at 7. Dōsaku was so strong by the time he was in his early 20s that even if someone played the first move, he would always win. Rumors were that he was two stones stronger than any other Go player. This was due to his deep thinking and next-level tactics. He laid the foundation for opening strategy in the Golden Period. Becoming Meijin by fiat Only a short time after receiving the Head of the Hon'inbō school he was given the post of Meijin in recognition of his unrivaled strength. On one account, this controversial appointment (which deprived Yasui Sanchi of his official positions) was hand ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nakamura Dōseki
Nakamura Dōseki (中村 道碩, 1582–1630) was a Japanese professional Go player. Tradition counts him as the founder of the Inoue house. This was in fact a retrospective inclusion, essentially a fabrication of the early nineteenth century by Inoue Gennan Inseki. It accounts for the name Inoue Nakamura Dōseki sometimes given. Nakamura was taught by Hon'inbō Sansa. He was the first Inoue go house leader, and second head of the Meijin is one of the eight titles in Japanese professional shogi, and is the most prestigious title, along with Ryūō. The word ''meijin'' (名 ''mei'' "excellent, artful", 人 ''jin'' "person") refers to a highly skilled master of a certain field ( ... post. He was the second Meijin. He is quite famous for his game against Yasui Santetsu, in which the first play was at a 3–10 point on a side, going against the orthodoxy about starting in a corner.

Hon'inbō Dōetsu
Hon'inbō Dōetsu (本因坊道悦, 1636–1727) was a Japanese professional go player, who became the third head of the Honinbo house. His surname was Niwa, and he used a Buddhist name Nissho. Biography He was born in Matsuzaka, currently in Mie Prefecture. He was adopted as Hon'inbō heir in 1658. He was promoted to 7 ''dan'' in 1666. His final ranking was as 8 ''dan''. Dōetsu challenged Yasui Sanchi to a long match. In the end 20 games were played, out of a theoretical 60, over seven years starting in 1668. Under the beating-down rules (see ''jubango'') he forced Yasui down from '' sen'' (Black in each game, for a theoretical difference of two levels) to sen-ai-sen'' (Black-White-Black). He was also active in ''oshirogo'' from 1660, for 15 years. In 1677 he stepped down as Honinbo head, handing over to Dōsaku. He did however still meet an official requirement to play ''oshirogo''; he was given a personal allowance of 20 ''koku'' of rice.''Go Monthly Review'' 1963/5, p. ...
