Post subject:  Memorising pro games

One of the usual recommendations to improve is to memorise some pro games (it's in several Sensei places: http://senseis.xmp.net/?Improvement%2FMemorizingGames http://senseis.xmp.net/?BenjaminTeuber% ... trong#toc9).

I want to have a look at the first 50-100 moves of one each week... But I don't know which player/game to pick. I don't particularly like Shusaku's style, for example. I'd like some player who plays straightforward openings, so I can get a little more "feeling" of the fuseki (this discards Go and Kitani...)

Any recommendations after this restrictions?

What about 90s Yi Ch'ang-Ho? Dominating international go with very normal moves. (Later, I think he changed to a more fighting style against new strong fighters).

It was one of my ideas, but I wasn't sure if he was as normal as expected :) Thanks!

If I just want to grab a game without looking around hard, and I'm not at home where I have the GoGoD database, I just go to http://eidogo.com/tourney and pick from any of the games there.

I just pick the weekly game from the NHK cup

but its quick play (if that makes a difference to you)

If you want very normal openings: Hane Naoki, Takao Shinji, Kong Jie, Xie He, Gu Li (The Three E's, as I like to call them) and for Korean flavour Kang Dongyun.

I would advise straying away from studying pro games before the Shinfuseki period if you want good openings.

However, if you want to study middle-game and endgame sequences, most of the Edo period is rich in that.

Hi Lovely, thanks!

I'll add them to my list, for now I memorised around 50 moves into the first game of Chang-Ho in SmartGo Kifu (I think it's from his pro exams).

By the way, I think I caught you once or twice connected in Tygem, your nick is quite stricking.
