En dehors de l'intérêt des parties, ce livre est le récit d'une des plus grandes sensations de l'histoire du go moderne. En 1970-71, un jeune joueur de 22 ans, Yoshio Ishida, tout nouveau 7-dan, se qualifie pour le tournoi Honinbo. Commençant par une défaite contre l'autre jeune du tournoi, Masao Kato, il aligne ensuite six victoires pour gagner le droit d'affronter titre en jeu le déjà légendaire Rin Kaiho. Sa victoire en six parties (la dernière par un demi-point) fera de lui le plus jeune Honinbo de l'histoire. Ce livre vous fera revivre, commentées très en profondeur par Kaoru Iwamoto, 9-dan, les treize parties historiques. Un grand livre.
