Blood-vomiting game

The blood-vomiting game is a famous game of Go of the Edo period of Japan, played on June 27, 1835, between Hon'inbō Jōwa (white) and Akaboshi Intetsu (black). It is noted for the premature death of the go prodigy Akaboshi Intetsu who coughed up blood after the game and died a few months later. Selected moves of the game are shown in diagrams.

The game
The secret Inoue house move The secret move used by Akaboshi in the match was developed by Gennan Inseki and others in the Inoue house as a taisha variation. The move, shown in the diagram, gave Akaboshi a lead by attacking the white stones in the center and being able to capture two stones later on in the game. Jōwa's Three Myoshu (三妙手) Jōwa played three brilliant moves, or myoshu (Japanese: 妙手) in the game, eventually leading to Jōwa winning by resignation. The first two brilliant moves, white 2 and 4 in the diagram below, allowed white to ignore black's move at 1 in order to play another move at 6 due to the aji of "a". The third brilliant move was an example of bad shape but good move. Although forming an empty triangle shape is normally avoided because it is inefficient, the move allowed Jōwa to launch a splitting attack that would lead to his victory. End of the game ==Notes==
