In the SPL Capitol Hill Library’s Meeting Room 425 Harvard Ave. E., Seattle, WA 98102


From about 12pm to 1pm, we will be hosting the learn to play portion of the event, which will be limited to 13x13 boards and smaller.

From about 1pm to 3pm, we will be discussing Yusanari Kawabata's The Master of Go. The book is a semi-fictionalized account of the 1938 retirement match of Honinbo Shusai, which became the transition of the Honinbo house name from “hereditary” to a tournament title. The SPL has digital copies to borrow, and other digital copies can easily be found online.

After the discussion, or around 3pm, we will be replaying the Meijin’s retirement match game on a traditional Japanese style floor board with slate & shell stones similar to those that would have been used for the game.

There should be some snacks and beverages as well.
