There is the discussion of the Sai-Meijin game with Sai himself fading into the background which is very sad, even though the game itself enters go history.



As the games are all from real ones it must have been quite something to have one’s game chosen to be a big important one in the series like this. From another point of view I wonder whether living players had the right to refuse their games being used in this way. Cool enough it you get chosen to have your game played by Touya Kouya, but what about if you got Daké (Mitani's Go salon) or Goseki (fake gobans)?
