I play a game called go. I currently admire someone for his unorthodox corner openings. Who is he and what are the coordinates of the point that he was recently known to play.

Buddy has the name but not the opening move. D4 is a very standard go move.

Whoops and earthpuppy too. Still not the opening move though. (This one should be a little tougher.)

Japan 29th Tengen Title final game 2: Yamashita Keigo vs Hane Naoki. D17? _(BTW I have absolutely no idea how to play Go so this may take some time 🙂 )_

Or maybe…(one more try before I Go and leave it in your capable hands **earthpuppy** )…

Japan 29th Tengen Title final game 1: Hane Naoki vs Yamashita Keigo. **R16**? - he actually won that one!

He wins a lot of games. r16 and d4 are both very common. They are the 3/4 point and 4/4 point (the board is symmetrical) respectively. _Unorthodox_ moves make for easier searching. Your _Senseis_ may know better.

Hint hint 🙂

I’m going to have to give up. I can’t figure out where to find specific moves or how to interpret coordinates. It’s making my head hurt!
