On the topic of shuban versus yose, here's a modern example of the extremely high-level of shuban in today's go. It's game three of the 17th Tianyuan-Ch'eonweon Match.

How can a Japanese-English translation issue be instrumental to understanding a comment by a Korean pro?
Do you think An Younggil speaks about "endgame" because he has no better word for it and should talk about "boundary plays" instead because he's really not talking about "the late stages of the game"?
