The members of the houses were like a family (iemoto system), even though they weren't always blood relatives.Dosaku was the 4th head of the Honinbo house, but at the time when this game was played he was still in his twenties and was the heir to the 3rd Honinbo, Doetsu.However, later in his life Dosaku became the Honinbo and was also appointed as Meijin - an official position which was reserved for the strongest Go player in Japan.Dosaku was acknowledged as having been stronger than practically all of his contemporaries, and was later referred to as a Kisei (Go Saint) along with Honinbo Shusaku.He's also credited with having invented the concept of tewari analysis and innovating in many other areas, such as the effective use of three-space pincers.Yasui Chitetsu was the third head of the Yasui house. He wasn't as famous as Dosaku, but he was probably the Yasui at the time when this game was played.In the period just before Dosaku, the Yasui's had been the strongest house for awhile, even though the Honinbo house was the oldest and most prestigious.Castle games, like this one, were played in the presence of the shogun. They were the most important games for Japanese Go players during this period.There was no komi at the time when this game was played, so black gained more of an advantage from playing first and white had to play more aggressively to catch up.For another perspective on this game, you can read Otake Hideo's commentary in the book 'Otake's Secrets of Strategy' from Hinoki Press: http://shop.gogameguru.com/otakes-secrets-of-strategy/]RE[W+5.00];B[qd]C[Yasui Chitetsu plays black.];W[oc]C[White approaches immediately.];B[lc]C[At the time, this pincer was popular, especially amongst players from the Yasui house.Playing the two-space low pincer like this was sometimes even called 'Yasui style' during that period.]TL[0,0];W[ec]C[We can see this 3-5 move quite a lot in old games.];B[ce]LB[cd:C][dp:B][pp:A]C[This approach is somewhat questionable.

After that, white's play was excellent and I couldn't find any more opportunities for black.Because of that, it seems that H was the losing move.It was an interesting game. Honinbo Dosaku's attack, beginning with J, was wonderful and instructive. It seemed as if Yasui Chitetsu played too passively after he took the lead with C. White was eventually able to reverse the game because of that.I hope you've enjoyed the romantic style of this old game, and that you've been able to understand a little more about how Go theory has developed through reviewing it.Thanks, An Younggil 8p http://gogameguru.com/])(;B[ff]C[This move doesn't work well. ];W[gf];B[gg];W[gd];B[fg];W[hd];B[id];W[ig]C[This hane is good, and];B[jg];W[hf];B[kf];W[hi];B[ni];W[ie]C[This is a picnic ko for white.]))(;B[ef]C[If black plays here, ];W[hg]C[This knight's move is good. ](;B[fg]C[If black connects here, ];W[hf];B[ge];W[ni]LB[ge:B][hf:A]TR[mf][kg][mg][kh][mh][nh]C[White can cut here and capture the six stones. ])(;B[ni]C[If black connects here, ];W[fg]TR[gc][ic][dd][ed][ce][fe][he][je][ef]C[Black's whole group is in danger. ])))(;W[ee]LB[ke:A]C[If white doesn't answer at A, ];B[me];W[md];B[ld];W[lb];B[nd]C[This ko is annoying for white.]))(;B[jl]C[If black tries to kill this group, ];W[il];B[jk];W[ij]C[This push is a good response. ](;B[hj];W[ik];B[mj];W[mi];B[ni];W[lj]LB[kk:A][nk:B]C[White lives.
