Hoshiai Hasseki vs Hayashi Monnyu
https://t.co/lqK6tBWAgy
Hasseki had a solid, thick playing style, and was one of the "five tigers", the 5 outstanding disciples of Hononbo Dosaku. In this game he shows how such play can slowly but relentlessly develop into a lethal attack.

https://t.co/KHCer8uvr7 Dōteki was a historical prodigy whose life and games left a lasting impact on the Go world. Unfortunately, he died young, at the age of 21. His untimely death cut short what could have been a legendary career. In this video I show his final Castle Game.
