It seems to me as if there should be more urgent focus on the reason of the rather odd title of the article, preferably in the first or second sentence. One comes here almost expecting to find some type of Jackass-like activity rather than a 19th century game of go. Peter ^Isotalo 21:53, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

title --> Blood-vomiting Go game ? Hanfresco 03:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

It's called the "Blood-vomiting game" everywhere else. Besides, if someone justs clicks here and reads the first paragraph it's pretty explanatory CanbekEsen 03:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

"who at the time was believed to become the successor": should this, perhaps, be "who at the time was expected to become the successor"? As it stands it doesn't make much sense, this is the only thing I could think of. - Jmabel | Talk 01:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

No kidding, the majority of this article doesn't make much sense or is very awkwardly phrased, I suspect perhaps it was not written by a native-English speaker. However, I do not know much about the topic, so I'll leave repairing it to someone else.

[edit] Expected meijin?

AFAIK the meijin post did not actually have successors as such. It was only filled when there was a player that was clearly best. (from Invincible: The Games of Shusaku). So the phrase Intetsu Akaboshi, who at the time was expected to become the successor to the Meijin post seems false. I did a quick search through the sourced article, but could not find the reference. I don't have time to properly read it now though. Taemyr 07:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why Did the Game End

Did he resign, or did they stop because of his condition? i.e. what came first the game's end or his?
