羽根泰正

Japanese 9 dan professional. Born 25 June 1944 in Mie, Japan.

Hane Yasumasa was a pupil of Shimamura Toshihiro and turned professional in 1958. He won the Oza and Okan titles.

He is the father of another professional 9-dan player, Hane Naoki, and through him, father-in-law of female 1p Hane Shigeko and grandfather of female 2p Hane Ayaka.

In May 2001 father and son played an official [ext] game in the preliminary tournament for the 2002 Kisei title. Hane jr. won that game to advance to the Kisei league.

He is a very loyal exponent of the high Chinese opening, employing it almost exclusively in his later career.

He was one of the first Japanese pros to use computers as a resource for studying Go. His first game on the internet go server was on 11 Dec 1993, a 2-stone handicap training against China’s strong amateur Zhong Jialin? (W+3.5).
