Black wins, the report says, by "Ichi ban," which means anything up to ten "Me." According to my continuation, Black won by seven "Me."

This is a game between a Japanese player and a beginner. It is inserted solely to show the character of the mistakes which beginners are likely to make. Such errors never occur in games between good players, and therefore this game may be more useful to a novice than the games contested between players of greater skill.

Played May 7, 1907.

Black has a handicap of five stones.
