はじめての対局
First Meeting

今回は本コーナー初の外国人のゲストをお招きした。ケヴィン・ムーアさん、アメリカ生まれのピアニストである。
We have our first foreign guest this time. He is Mr. Kevin Moore, a pianist born in America.

東京のとあるホテルに、囲碁の好きな外国人ピアニストがいる。こんな情報を聞きつけた三王裕孝九段が早速訪れ、後日八子で指導した。「その碁はなんとか勝ちましたが、途中までは囲碁のした手の名局でした」。そのときの雪辱戦とばかり、今回の対局が実現した。
As soon as we heard that there was an foreigner pianist at a hotel in Tokyo who was quite fond of Go, Hirotaka Sanno 9-Dan visited him and instructed him with 8-stone handicap play. "I managed to beat him, but up until half way it was an excellent match of OKIGO SHITATE (lower hand). As if to have revenge on that match, this match has materialized."

ムーアさんがはじめて碁を打ったのは、サンフランシスコの囲碁クラブだった。「十三路盤で二子置いて勝って、とても嬉しかった」と言うから、なかなかの才能の持ち主である。その後、仕事の関係で日本を訪れ、今回が三度目の来日になる。
It was at a Go club in San Francisco where Moore-san first tried Go. He says, "I played on a 13-line board with a 2-stone handicap and I won. I was very happy." He sounds like he was very talented. Afterwards he has visited Japan on business and this is his third visit here.

「ホームページで囲碁の紹介をしてみたいし、ルールがわかるコンピュータのプログラムも作ってみたい」と言うムーアさんは、着実に外国人版・碁キチへの道を進んでいる。そうそう、たいせつなことを忘れていた。ムーアさんは現在独身。「囲碁の打てる日本人のガールフレンドを募集中」なんです。
"I am interested in introducing Go on my homepage and developing a computer program on the rules.", says Mr. Moore who is steadily on his way to becoming a foreigner version of GOKICHI (a person who is crazy about Go, a Go fanatic). And, oh yes, I should mention that Mr. Moore is a bachelor at the moment and wishes to find a Japanese girl friend who can play Go.
