[tengen]

Kubomatsu Katuskiyo, Go Seigen, Yamashita Keigo, ..., you?

Tengen as first move has a fascinating attraction to many Go players. The center of the universe, the point of symmetry, the move which should win the game when God would be playing, a nice move to play in a lightning game. All true probably.
