Old Meijin

The Old Meijin (literally "Venerable Master") was a Japanese seniors' Go tournament featuring veteran professionals typically aged 50 and above. Organized as a league, it honored the enduring skill of experienced players in a culture that reveres mastery gained through decades of study. The tournament showcased the deep positional understanding and steady technique that characterize late-career Japanese professionals, offering a stage for legends who had aged out of the fiercely competitive main title circuit.
