"Here is a list I've published before. It looks like a candidate for Sensei's Library if someone wants to copy it there (making room for additions, of course). The views are not mine, but are collated from pro commentaries or the players' own assessments." (John Fairbairn, RGG, January 12, 2002)


Discussion

Dieter: I'm surprised that today's reference for enormous moyo building, Yamashita Keigo, is not yet included.

Charles This is collated from pro comments on pros, of course.

Tamsin Any comments on O Meien's style? Surely he's being acknowledged as one of the biggest guns in Japan by now, with two Honinbo titles and the current Oza title under his belt.

Charles When he was in a match against Cho Sonjin, it was said that the public didn't take to the pairing, for reasons of style (if you believe that). They're both 'messy' players, but O is seemingly more original.

Vesa Found some example of the original style of O Meien.
