Shusaku number
|
|
The Shusaku number represents the "distance" between a Go player and Honinbo Shusaku, measured in Go opponents. A person's Shusaku number can be determined, as follows: * Shusaku himself has the Shusaku number 0. * Any other Go player has the number 1 + the smallest Shusaku number of the player's opponents (provided at least one opponent has a Shusaku number). For example, if a player has played Shusaku himself, that player would have a Shusaku number of 1. * For all other people, the Shusaku number is undefined. To extend the analogy to s even further, one can define Shusaku numbers of the second kind to only consider players who have defeated a lower-numbered opponent. That is, only those who have beaten Shusaku would have a Shusaku number of 1, and so forth. |
