Life In 19x19

A moment ago I made a new sgf archive available.
The number of (mostly Japanese pro) games has passed 70000.
See https://homepages.cwi.nl/~aeb/go/games/games/index.html .
As far as I know this is the largest collection of Japanese pro games. There is some additional material.

I think the "Female" versions have been rather standard long ago. In the West there was gobase by Jan van der Steen, but also other sources, like Jan van Rongen and Pieter Mioch used them. Go4go still does, ...
Also Japanese and Korean sites wrote "Female".

Two wrongs don't make a right - and ...

So why is SL littered with Female This and Female That?

I checked a moment ago, and for me the site is accessible again.

Yes, accessing kansaikiin.jp has become more difficult.
A moment ago I looked for new players and added a line for 大谷健介 Otani Kensuke to https://homepages.cwi.nl/~aeb/go/misc/progression.html .

As for the last two games, I just discovered that sgf can't be uploaded anymore...
Not so pessimistic - you can always insert the file itself, it is a text file of a few hundred bytes only. Format it so that not every move is a separate line.
Your two missing games were
19??-??-?? ? 8d - ? 8d ...

Thanks aeb! My version of Gogod is slightly outdated I fear (2015).
The dates would fit and the number of moves matches (except Rin-Kin where only 188 are given in GR), so these must be the same games. I'll post sgf later just to make sure.
These games are not in my 2021 version of GoGoD either ...

Since you ask, and it is April 1st, I did something. See shusaku-number.html. Corrections and improvements are welcome.

The Japanese rank progression page has 908 names. My collection of (mainly Japanese) pro go game records has 3582 distinct names (where different names sometimes belong to the same player).

New Year's Eve I sorted some games and a moment ago I added a Sumire entry near the bottom of https://homepages.cwi.nl/~aeb/go/games/index.html. The last SGF there is for the first game of this match.
