Go Seigen is commonly considered to be among the best to have ever played go, and is frequently deemed to have been the best player of the 20th century. He dominated professional go for more than a quarter of a century. He maintained a brilliant match record and successively defeated all the leading players of the day in a series of notable [[jubango]] (contests between two players consisting of ten games), even forcing them down to handicaps. Some of the defeated were [[Kitani Minoru]], [[Karigane Junichi]], [[Hashimoto Utaro]], [[Iwamoto Kaoru]], [[Fujisawa Hosai]], [[Sakata Eio]], and [[Takagawa Kaku]]. Go lost just one [[jubango]], and that was against Fujisawa Hosai. However, the match was played with Fujisawa taking the [[josen]] handicap throughout, and Fujisawa only managed to win with a score of 6 to 4. Some ten years later, Go Seigen took revenge on Fujisawa by beating him in two consecutive jubango with lopsided scores of 7–2 and 5–1 respectively. These jubango matches were all played without [[komidashi|komi]], and indeed the same applied to the vast majority of games Go Seigen played during his career. Go Seigen won the [[Oteai]] six times, and won a special [[Nihon Ki-in]] championship tournament in 1933.<ref name=SEN>{{cite web|url=http://senseis.xmp.net/?GoSeigen |title=Go Seigen|access-date=1 December 2014}}{{unreliable source?|date=June 2018}}<!--this site is a wiki--></ref>
