Honinbō Dōteki (本因坊 道的, 1669 – June 13, 1690) was an Edo-period Go player, born in Matsusaka, Ise Province. Dōteki’s life and games left a lasting impact on the Go world. Despite his short career, he remains celebrated as a historical prodigy, with some considering him among the strongest players ever due to his skill at such a young age. Unfortunately, Dōteki died young, at the age of 21. His untimely death cut short what could have been a legendary career. In this video I show his final Castle Game.
