IGS archive: Takagi Shoichi, 9-dan pro and Korean amateurs, part1
Takagi, 9-dan (bushman on IGS) has an agressive Go style - it's fun to watch his games, but he cannot keep high winning percentage by fighting a lot in every game. I will show you few games he lost to Korean amateurs.
Sbg is Seo Bugil, 7-dan - he was in best 10 in Korea in early 90's and won several amateurs tournaments. He played 5 games with Takagi, 9p (without komi) and Seo won only one of them. Here is the game, lost by Takagi. As usual, Takagi starts from double 5-4 - he plays like this a lot even in pro tournaments
