『ライバル物語』 内藤由紀子著 "Legendary Rivalries" by Yukiko Naito

　囲碁界のライバル？に焦点を当てた本が出版されましたのでご紹介させて頂きます。
　自宅にいる時間が増えた今、碁を知らない方が読んでも面白いと思います。

A book shedding light on rivalries(?) in the Go world has been published.
In these days when we have more time at home, I think it's a book that can be enjoyed by audiences that aren't familiar with Go as well.
(* the book is only published in Japanese so far)

詰碁の思い出 Memories of Tsumego

　
この数日、電話、書類などで忙しくブログはお休みになってしまいました。
仕事(対局、囲碁指導)は、まだまだお休み中なのに。
６月２、３日に延期されていた本因坊戦が甲府市常盤ホテルで打たれました。
本因坊文裕(井山裕太九段)に芝野虎丸名人(黒番)挑戦。
結果は井山本因坊が中押し勝ち。
AIの評価で見ると白の芝野名人の打ち方に問題がありました。
2局目を期待しましょう。

These few days, I was caught up with calls and documents and took a break from this blog.
But work (professional tournaments, Go classes) are still on hold..
On the 2nd and 3rd of June, the postponed Honinbo title match was played at the Kofu city Jouban hotel.
Honinbo Monyu (Yuta Iyama 9p) was challenged by Toramaru Shibano Meijin (playing black).
The result was Iyama Honinbo's win.
Looking at AI's analysis, it seems that there were some difficulties in the way Shibano Meijin played.
Let's look forward to the 2nd game.


今日は私事ですが１年前に逝きました父の命日。
碁を教えてくれた父です。
父は『詰碁』が大切との持論があり、小さい時から詰碁は日常生活の一部のように碁を学びました。
その頃に学んだ『玄玄碁経』から懐かしい問題を紹介します。

On my personal side, today marks one year since my father passed away.
He was the one who introduced and taught me Go.
He believed in the importance of "Tsumego" and Tsumego was like a part of daily life studying Go since I was young.
I share here a nostalgic problem from the book I studied in those days, "Gengen Gokyo".

　子供の頃、持っていた絵本に『かぐや姫』が月に帰る時、こんな雲が描かれてました。
When I was a kid, I remember seeing clouds like this in the picture book of "Princess Kaguya" in the scene when she returns to the moon.
