1971 Honinbo Tournament
The book, 'The 1971 Honinbo Tournament' was published in 1972, around the height of Fischer-Spassky fever. It tells how IshidaYoshio, aged 22, entered the Honinbo League for the first time, won it, and went on to beat the established Honinbo, RinKaiho, in the title match. The book contains the most detailed game commentaries I have seen in English. Each of Ishida's games from the league and the title match is covered. The commentary was written by James Davies, from material supplied by IwamotoKaoru, Magari Reiki, Fukui Masaaki and Noguchi Hitoshi. A second edition was published in 1999, with some revision of the text by Richard Bozulich.
