Fujisawa Hideyuki, “Shuko” is not often cited among the very
best go players. But he was among the top players for over 3
generations of go professionals and played a number of matches
with most of them. Sort of a mandatory stop along the career
path. But that’s not why I’ve compiled this – I just like the
moves he found.
Used to be, a new player, after learning the basic rules, was advised to lose his first hundred games as quickly as possible. After that he’d be hooked. Supposedly. Many of us learned the basics from books translated from Japanese. The diagrams were sometimes not intuitively obvious and finding a stronger player to explain wasn’t always easy.
It’s about time I posted this! I apologize to everyone that had to wait to see these photos. These were taken throughout the day at the Asia Society of Oklahoma Festival. The festival was highly enjoyable and we had a lot of people show interest in the game. We handed out many cards, pamphlets, instruction manuals, you name it! Everyone present had a good time playing go and enjoying the food and festivities.
