Takemiya Masaki
   

Takemiya Masaki is a Japanese 9-dan, who became famous for his 'cosmic style' of play - focussing on the construction of large moyos and taking territory in the centre.


Bill Spight: Takemiya became famous at age 15, when, as a 5-dan, he won several games against 9-dans, and got the nickname, 9-dan Killer.


His excellent book 'Le Go cosmique' has, AFAIK, only been translated from Japanese to French.

Francophones can look [ext] here for a blurb about the book.

Takemiya considers that the centre-oriented style for him is the natural way for his stones to move and focusses in his book largely on the concept of 'playing with your heart' and playing moves which 'please'.


I believe that reviewing Takemiya's games is very instructive since they are full of unusual ideas. It is very difficult to follow his style but at the same time his plays open horizon for others, show that there is more than one way to compete on the highest level.
