1001 GoGoD Games for your Coffee Break #55 (21 Mar 2013)

Post by John Fairbairn »

Ths is the end of Handicap Week and, fittingly, you can't get much more handicapping than in this game played by Fujisawa Hosai when he was still a mere 8-dan strugglng to make a living just after the war. It's a cameo and the result is unknown, but you may wish to learn a new term: this called the two-stone jump handicap. Fujisawa used other large handicaps such as 17 stones, some of which are also in the GoGoD database.

His young pupil, six at the time, was actually his nephew and he went on to become a 9-dan himself, in 1979.
