Nakamura Doseki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nakamura Doseki 中村 道碩 (1582-1630) was a Japanese professional go player. Tradition counts him as the founder of the Inoue house. This was in fact a retrospective inclusion, essentially a fabrication of the early nineteenth century by Inoue Genan Inseki. It accounts for the name Inoue Nakamura Doseki sometimes given.

He was the second Meijin. He is quite famous for his game against Yasui Santetsu, in which the first play was at a 3-10 point on a side, going against tyhe orthodoxy about starting in a corner.
