TengenStatistics
Illich: I have made some simple research using database at gobase.org - concerning tengen as first move:
Games starting with tengen: 60
-> so this doesn't look very well. But note two things:
Enjoy... Dieter: Thanks for the information. Statistically, this means there is no reason to believe opening on tengen is inferior to corner play. So, while the minor differences are statistically insignificant, that very fact is quite significant. DaveSigaty: The kicker in here is that Mok Chin-seok, one of the Korean young stars, took up tengen recently. In the GoGoD CD collection he is listed starting 5 games in 2001 with tengen and winning all 5. The two collections are a little different (the latest CD has only 20 tengen games since 1990 and 43 overall) but I think both are dominated by a few players. Yamashita Keigo is included with 8 games since 1990 on the CD, winning 5 and losing 3. The "rest of the world" did manage 4 wins to 3 losses (1 left unfinished) though.
