Go Naka Nakamura first dan loses to a player with seven titles
The youngest 10-year-old professional Go player at the age of ten, Nakamura Sumizumi Dandan, played on the 16th for the first time in an official game against a player who has won seven major titles, but did not win.
Go Naka Nakamura first dan (10) became a professional shogi player in April of last year at the age of 10 years old, the youngest in history, and has achieved 17 wins and 8 losses so far.
On the 16th, Nakamura Hatsudan took part in qualifying for one of the seven major titles, "Honinbo Battle", at the Nihon Kiin Chubu Central Headquarters in Higashi-ku, Nagoya, and played against Hane Yasumasa Kudan (75).
Hane Kudan is a veteran player, also known as the "Diamond of Chukyo", who won the first title of the "Throne" 30 years ago and achieved a total of 1200 wins.
This is the first official match between Nakamura Hatsudan and a player who has held the seven titles.
At 10 am, the game started, and Nakamura Hatsudan bowed out with a nervous expression. After a little thought, he began to play with a serious expression.
The game lasted for more than six hours, and at 4:58 pm, Hane Kudan, the white player, won with 289 moves, and Nakadan Hatsudan lost.
In an interview after the game, Hane Kudan, who was told by his grandson that he had played with his opponent far away, said, "It was hard to beat. And it wasn't easy to break the ring and I was swayed in the middle. "
Nakamura Hatsudan squeezed a towel with a regrettable face and did not answer the interview.
