noninbo
davou: Does anyone know anything about this title? Apaprently it was held by Sakata Eio at the same time that he held the judan.
tealeaf: Surely this is the Honinbo title. Sakatai Eio held the Judan from 1966-1968 and the Honinbo from 1961-1967.
The only Google result for "Sakata Eio"+noninbo gives a scan of "MODERN JOSEKI AND FUSEKI - Volume One: Parallel Fuseki", listing him as "Judan-Noninbo", published in 1968. As a capital "H" looks rather similar to a capital "N", this is almost certainly a typo.
Patrick Taylor: Actually, I think this is a wasted opportunity. The term 'Noninbo' could go the person closest to mastering Baka no Itte. While this might seem silly, the discussion of Baka no Itte on SL shows that while the term is clear, ultimate understanding of the essence of bad play is actually quite difficult to attain. :)
Bill: The Noninbo is the master of Noseki.
Anonymous: There has never been a Japanese title "Noninbo". The explanation that it is a typo in the Ishi Press book by Sakata seems correct. This page should be deleted.
MrTenuki: Well, since the pages such as baka no itte and one-nuki have already been created... I'm adding this page to the Go Humour section. (Jan 8, 2007)
