A go apprentice ( is a student learning to play Go at an institution, typically with the aim of becoming a professional player. In Japan, such a student is called an ''insei'' (literally, "institution student"). Institutions for insei include the Nihon Ki-in (Japanese Go Association) and the Kansai Ki-in (Kansai Go Association). The equivalent of Go insei in Korea is "Yeon'gusaeng" (), read "kenkyūsei" in Japanese and "yán jiū shēng" (also meaning "graduate student") in Chinese. == Qualifications and study == In Japan, once a year 3 or 4 apprentices who qualify in a yearly tournament become professional players. Asian players are required to become a professional before the age of 18 while studying as insei, but foreigners have the chance up to the age of about 30. To become an insei, a person requires a professional to sponsor them, and an application to the Nihon Ki-in. There is no official way to contact a professional for sponsorship. While insei, many people live with their professional sponsor, who tutors and supports them. Some insei just visit their professional sponsor several times a week. The professional sponsor acts as a mentor for the insei. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Go apprentice」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
