Honinbo Shuhaku

Hon'inbō Shūhaku (本因坊秀伯, 1716–1741) was a Japanese professional go player, and seventh head of Hon'inbō house. His succession to his sort-lived predecessor, in 1733, was irregular, since he had not been officially adopted as heir. He too was destined to die young, and his time was marked by intrigues.
