Edition Note: The preface is dated December 1825 and the publishing date is often reported as 1825 but the work was registered in the fall of 1826. The work was reissued in 1892 and 1906. Honinbo Jowa [1787-1847]: When the book was published, as a demonstration of the strength of Jowa's power game, Genjo was still head of Honinbo House. In 1827, (one year after publication), Genjo retired and Jowa became the 12th head of Honinbo House. He received 8th dan rank in January 1828. Jowa is known to have won 46 games against 6 losses and 5 draws in a golden era of go competition. He was esteemed by the leading players and commentators of his era as a player of remarkable strength and tactical profundity, (In the introduction, Akira calls him, "the crowning glory of the nation"), and was regarded in his own lifetime as a go sage, one of three to receive this accolade.

The field was notable also for the healthy mix of both early century chess mastery and post-war talent emerging for the next… Ler mais
