I don't know at what age he started but he did not reach 1p until age 15 so I doubt he started much earlier than the typical pro of his era.

That's kind of what I was expecting when I said typical for the era.

I learned to play go just around the time I entered elementary school. (...) I picked up the game from watching, which made my father very happy.
