Hikaru no Go

Go was a game that lost popularity through most of the 20th century. It was an old man's game. Then came Hikaru no Go. Hikaru no Go is a group of manga comics about a young boy (Hikaru Shindo) who discovers a haunted Go board in his grandfather's attic. The board is inhabited by the ghost of an ancient go master.

The manga was turned into an anime series. The games in the Hikaru no Go series were supervised for authenticity by our old friend Yukari Umezawa. You can find episodes on toonami jetstream. It is designed for a younger set but it is done well.
