Dake-san Game

Anyone recognize it?

Dieter: Not a chance this is a historical or contemporary pro game.

sergio0p: Dake-san stares at the board in shock and says only: Shusaku! Does anyone knows if white play resembles Honinbo Shusaku's style? Why?

George Caplan I do not think it has anything to do with the style of play, simply the strength. My recall, without checking, is that Hikaru comments that he is about as strong as Shusaku when they begin playing, so I always concluded that was what prompted the comment.

iopq: I see white is ahead, but by how much? I am bad at estimating points this early in the game.
