Tokyo University Go Class

   

A go class at Tokyo University started in October 2005.
The main teacher is Ishikura Noboru assisted by Umezawa Yukari and Kurotaki Masanori.

This was announced on rec.games.go by Pieter Mioch and several people expressed interest and requested more information.

Ishikura was interviewed on the Igo-Shogi channel news program and talked a bit about it. This is what I recall. Anyone else is welcome to add details or make corrections. I may add more later if I replay my recording.

The class was the idea of Kato Masao. It is aimed at beginners. Umezawa is teaching the introductory course using 9x9 boards. Ishikura is teaching the transition to 19x19 boards.
The textbooks are NHK books by Ishikura.
