Honinbo Shusaku Plays a Star Point

- This game was played in 1844, and at the time Shusaku was a 4 dan pro, and Mizutani was 6 dan. Shusaku had Black 2 games of each 3, and this time it was his turn to play with White.
This game is unusual in that both players played a star point, at a time when it was rare in even games. The 3-3 invasion in the top right corner was relevant to modern games and gave me an opportunity to explain some of the more important variations while enjoying a historic game.
Shusaku is known for his undefeated streak of 19 games during the annual castle games; his thirty-game match with Ota Yuzo; the eponymous Shusaku opening; and his posthumous veneration as a "Go sage". At the time of this game, he was not yet the heir of the Honinbo school, so he was called Kuwabara Shusaku.
The best English source of his games is the book "Invincible" edited and translated by John Power. A digital form of the book can be found at SmartGo books.
Mizutani Junsaku was a senior student at the Honinbo school, and at least at first, he was one of Shusaku's teachers. He was a man of many names. For some of his earlier games against Shusaku, he was named Kadono Tadazaemon, and he changed his name when he became the leader of the Mizutani school, which was associated with the Honinbo school. Later his name changed to Inoue Shutetsu after which he was to become the head of the Inoue school. His retirement name was Setsuzan, so now he is called Inoue Setsuzan Inseki to distinguish from the other Inoue leaders. In that era, it was not unusual for a player to change his name according to a change of status in the community.

"When I play a move like this, I actually don't know how it's gonna turn out, because that mainly depends on how Black responds." --- Literally every move I make. :D
Thank you for your great commentary on this interesting game!
This is game 10 on page 77 of Invincible. The Games of Shusaku. Very interesting and informative commentary, Michael. Thanks
180 years ago. Beautiful game.
Omg thank you Michael!
I love your videos and especially those classical games.
You upload this video in a time that I am studying shape and shusakus games.
I am very happy about this!
Nice game. A lot of good examples of connecting in ways that offered some resistance or created useful aji.
This is so intriguing to see the modern corner pattern in a such an old game. Amazing! Thanks for sharing, Michael!
Neat game! Thanks for the commentary!
Been waiting for your new upload! Very excited to watch it!
Thanks for the video ! Amazing commentary as always !
Nice commentary. Miyamoto Naoki 9d's commentary in the "Invincible" book makes a lot of the same points, but misses the fact that M10 should have been played earlier, which is a nice point.
As a games player thinking about taking up GO, I have learned some things from you.
I call them DON (a contraction of DOs and DON'Ts) and I have 9 of them. This makes me a 9 DON. Wouldn't you agree?
1. Every time I watch your channel I learn something.
2. Given the complexity of GO and my age (63) if I watch no TV or other things I can be a Dan player by the time I'm 100.
3. I thought married men called their wives "honey" representing a sweet disposition. Now I understand that they were saying "Hane" meaning "this irritating thing that's keeping you from going where you want to."
4. If humans played more GO and had less actual wars the world would be no less frustrating but would be much safer.
5. The saying that not everything is black and white is incorrect. I always suspected that it was.
6. Even if thou shalt not kill, a little reducing may suffice.
7. It's not how you Fuseki, it's how you Endgame.
8. The question is not if Artificial Intelligence will take over the world. It's not Artificial. It's just intelligence. The real question is- If humans had been given another 100,000 years, would THEY have ever achieved intelligence? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but it's not just a black or white situation.
9. I'm not sure if 63 years old counts as Endgame, but I think my moves have gotten smaller. At the very least the moves I try on girls don't seem to work. They know my game too well.
another great video!
I played through this game with your commentary at a bar, and a gentleman came up to ask a fair deal of questions surrounding the game, and among the many things discussed was strategy.
I told him a lot about strategy in Go was thinking in terms of shapes, and his response was that it reminded him of shapes in musical chords, and coincidentally my musical ear actually improved quite a lot after I started Go.
I would be very curious to learn more about this topic.
I don't know. My guess is that every time we try to learn something new, we get better at using our brains to understand the world around us.
Like Shusaku
Thank you for this video.
I have decided to start re-learning Japanese ( I did my study abroad in Osaka) to continue my Go and Shogi journeys ( I would like to reach 1-dan level in Chess, Shogi, and Go).
I know this request is atypical, but you seem to be the most successful foreigner I have seen at speaking the Japanese language and I would like to ask if you have any recommendations.
I enjoyed this video, and I recommend your channel to people fairly often. I do what I can to give visibility to the game in the United States.
Thank you for your support!
It helps to be in a situation where Japanese is the only language that you can use to communicate with the people around you. Otherwise find a friend who will speak Japanese with you all the time.
Thank you for the game analysis. Interesting move at B4.
❤❤❤❤❤
Whats the move at O18 / 3:16 called? Hanesugi?
are you editing yourself, or are you paying someone to do it?
Because - and I mean no offense - your thumbnails are horrifically bad (3 different fonts)
I want an ecchi Shojo
