Looking for game records

Post by Tryphon »

I've seen that the British Go Journal has made nearly all of his issues freey available and I'm currently reading oldest ones.

Unfortunately, there are no diagrams and much typos in the commented pro games, so I'd like to get SGF records of games played (or diagrams) with the right moves.

Much of the game though are not properly referenced.

For example, in Issue 0 (around 1967) , I'm looking for Rin-Kai-Ho 8d (W) - Fujisawa Shusai 9d (B) (W+7.5)
In Issue 1 (Summer 1967), Ohira 9d (W) - Yamabe 9d (somewhewhere during the Honinbo) (W+Resign)

Do you have those games or do you know where I can have a chance to find them ?

I think you mean either Fujisawa Hosai or Fujisawa Shuko (actually Hideyuki).
A good system naturally covers all corner cases without further effort.

I'm sure you can find records of any games that are in the BGA in GoGoD.

I've just copied what is on the issue, and indeed, it must be one of these two (Honinbo Shusai was deceased at this time). Or something completely different :)

I have not GoGoD, and it's quite expensive for so few games.

It's actually not that expensive, and it's got more than 50,000 games, so you'd have more game records than you'll ever need. It's a good investment, and it's worth supporting the work that T. Mark and John do.

It now has more than 63,000 games and, if you consider that the only variation in pricing has been downward, it is incredible value for money. A full announcement about the Summer 2010 edition will be made in the next day or so.

Best wishes.

I have no doubt they're worth lots of support, but first I can't buy anything that is worth supporting just for supporting, second I ask for two games, you propose me 60,000, and I can't be sure the few I'm looking for are inside.

So either you didn't read my post, or you're an advertising bot. In the last case, congratulations, you almost passed the Turing test :)

Dude, you're mighty hostile. I was just trying to help, making a suggestion that would be valuable over a long period of time.

Thanks, THAT helps :)

Sorry if I sound hostile and/or dumb, but I spend my whole day at hospital and sleeps around 4 hours a night for 3 weeks. Be assured I'm not hostile (but likely dumb).
