Can you guess the pro?

Well inspired by Sol i figured we could do something similar. I've picked 4 pro's with a somewhat characterstic style and its up for you to guess who is who. The aforementioned pro is always playing black in the posted games.

Let's see if anyone know his or hers pros.

Enjoy :)

Ps. To my defense i must say its hard to find a game that represents a certain player..

I should really study pro games, I guess. I don't really know pros very well.

So, no clue. :D

Wow, that's difficult. Maybe you could make it a multiple choice? Anyway, my guesses:
Game 1: Sakata?
Game 2: Ancient opening style! Is this a Dosaku game? The only thing that makes me doubt that is the fact that Dosaku played only very few games as black - he was so much stronger than everybody that he played white almost exclusively :D
Game 3: No idea. Could be any modern professional if you ask me.
Game 4: Go Seigen? Kitani? This kind of development (with the sansan as well), as well as the sharp fighting reminds me of their styles somehow.

Since it's going to be incredibly hard otherwise here`s some clues...

1. Rumours say he resigned from "professional" play because he was tired of always coming second after Lee Changho
2. Rarely got to play black
3. Even more cocky and flamboyant than Magicwand
4. Experimented with 3-3 because of its unique properties

Given your hints:
* Cho Hunhyun?
* Definitely Dosaku
* Given your comment, Fujisawa Shuko?
* Go Seigen
