Editing Go Seigen (section)

==Theory==
In addition to being a peerless match player, Go Seigen has also made great contributions to go theory, especially in the area of [[fuseki]]. He is well known, along with [[Kitani Minoru]], as one of the two leading exponents and innovators of the ''[[shinfuseki]]'', a period of revolutionary experimentation in the opening of the game that broke away from traditional moves. Go attributed some of his ideas to [[Honinbo Shuei]], for whom he had much respect.<ref>[http://gobase.org/studying/articles/mioch/goseigen/interview-3.html The Pieter Mioch interviews Go Seigen (part 3)] (GoBase.org)</ref> As a result of their substantial contributions to go theory, Go Seigen and Kitani Minoru are regarded as the founders of modern go. He was inventor of the notable and revolutionary ''uchimagari'' (inward bending) [[avalanche joseki]] variation. It was first played during a match against Takagawa Kaku in 1957.<ref name=AUK/>
