description: The famous ten game match between Go Seigen and Kitani Minoru in Kamakura as a result of which Go Seigen was clearly established as number one in the world is thoroughly analyzed in this massive study by John Fairbairn. Fairbairn draws on a host of sources most not available in English to both thoroughly analyze the games and also describe the historical and cultural dimensions of the event. The games are presented using many diagrams each with only a few new moves so that the games can be followed and understood without setting up a board. This large format study provides an unusual depth of insight into some famous and important games.
