5th Honinbo preliminaries

1st Preliminary (5-dans)

Participants were the 5-dans. (Some got promoted during this preliminary.) Three rounds were played. After two rounds the scores were Takahashi Shigeyuki 2-0, Kajiwara Takeo 1-1, Mukai Kazuo 1-1, Nakamura Yutaro 1-1, Koizumi Shigeo 1-1, Nakagawa Arata 1-1, Miwa Yoshiro 0-2. In the end, Takahashi continued to the 6/7-dan Preliminary.

2nd Preliminary (6/7-dans)

Fourteen players played in three rounds. Participants were the 6/7-dans, and Takahashi Shigeyuki. (And what about Suzuki?) Mitsuhara, Sakai, Fukuda and Murashima dropped out after losing in both Round 1 and Round 2. Takagawa did beat Hasegawa in Round 1, and Hasegawa did beat Shinohara in Round 3. Most further results seem to be unknown.

Hasegawa, Hayashi, Takagawa and Suzuki went on to participate in the League.

(Shimamura did not, so probably he lost his third game. His two wins did not suffice, but Suzuki continued, hence probably won three times.)
