Seto Taiki9-dan

"Surveying the whole board, a design of balance."

A strong player promoted to 9-dan in 2026. I want to watch how he balances territory and thickness from his self-described "balanced" viewpoint.

watch for this.

Watch the trade between taking corner territory and gaining outside thickness. The focus is the move that chooses whole-board balance over a gain in one spot.
