Phil Anderson isn't new to receiving awards, nor does he needs another one. Still, this is rather unique, I would think. I did not realize that he is an avid Go player. It appears that he has been one ever since he did his stint in Japan, and has been promoting it ever since.
Due to that, he is to receive an award from Nihon Ki-in, the association of Japanese professional Go players and teachers. Apparently, this has only been awarded 3 other times in the US, including one to Albert Einstein, who, coincidentally, was also at Princeton.
Just another facet of Anderson's life that I never knew before.
