Maybe Sumire is 스미레, in full 나카무라 스미레, and Fujita Reo is 후지타 레오.

A good page is https://gorisenri.livedoor.blog/archive ... e-all.html .

I just found a reference to a XX century player, Kitamura Fumio, apparently the first player professionally qualified in both Shogi and Go since Honinbo Sansa.
Does anyone have kifu of his? On either game.
Shogi kifu can be found e.g. on shogidb2.com/player/北村文男 .
Maybe he never played any ...

Are these comparisons worth making?
Not really, it is just for fun. Such comparisons seem to be based on several mistaken ideas.
First, that the AI comes with the best move. But this "best move" sometimes turns out to be a bad mistake if the number of visits is increased or another AI is used ...

Shusaku played against Shuho, Shuho played against Kita Fumiko, and Sugiuchi Kazuko studied under Kita, so (if they played together) she should have the number three.
Where is the evidence that Kita played Shuho?
It is possible but unlikely in view of the dates.
This missing link can be repaired ...

In that case, try https://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/player_news/dan/2022.html.

I saw this list in January, when the promotions based on prize money were announced.
Is there any link where I can give another look? Just curiosity.

The top 10 are as follows.

I'm looking at https://github.com/LifeIn19x19/forum/blob/master/eidogo-phpbb3/backend/fake-download.php and https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php If "get-magic-quotes-gpc" is always returning false, then it's hard to see how the data could be getting truncated.

Let's test ...

Interesting. It's behaving differently for you and me. Or perhaps we're using different methods to try and download it.

I'm looking at the bottom right of the Eidogo window, where it says "Download SGF". If I hover over that link, or if I right-click and choose "copy link", then Firefox shows me ...

This looks a bit like the problem reported in https://lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=14481 . The URL is terribly long and causes an error somewhere.
No, not the same problem. The URL in each case is just https://lifein19x19.com/eidogo-phpbb3/iframe-player.html# and I'm not seeing any error ...

No, it is not just you. This looks a bit like the problem reported in viewtopic.php?f=14&t=14481. The URL is terribly long and causes an error somewhere.

What happened with this game? Is it possible to watch at least a few minutes?

Factoring on a quantum computer is log(N) complexity. Doubling the size of the number only leads to a small increase in work.
no its polynomial rather than exponential.
i dont just mean doubling the number i mean doubling the number of bits it takes to represent.
for the sake of argument, lets say ...

AlphaGo would love this
Why precisely? It is not the case that quantum computers are faster general purpose computers. Today only a few problems are known that could be solved more quickly by a quantum computer in case a quantum computer could be built that can handle real world noise.

Ask Google: Shusaku SGF. Today that finds e.g. https://homepages.cwi.nl/~aeb/go/games/games/Shusaku/
