Vote for the game you'd like Michael to comment on:
Honinbo Dosaku vs. Yasui Santetsu: Yasui Santetsu Ⅱ plays a hyper-modern opening against Hononbo Dosaku in a Castle game. This kind of opening was radical even in the 20th century when Go Seigen and Kitani started the ShinFuseki movement, so it's just amazing to see this in a game from 1670.
Honinbo Shuwa vs. Inoue Inseki: Honinbo Shuwa played a challenge match against Inoue Inseki, also known as Genan Inseki, when Inseki wanted to become Meijin. Inseki was thought to have chances against Honinbo Jowa (previous meijin, against whom he would probably be playing with Black without komi, while he had little success against Shuwa. The one dan difference in ranks meant sen-ai-sen, or Shuwa taking White once in 3 games, but Inseki found ways to avoid that, in the hope of winning with White and making a strong claim to be Meijin.
