So, despite all the talk and doubt about older players, there are obviously ways for them to continue winning for a while. Though whether the 57-year-old Harada would be able to win is up for debate...

Oops...from chapter 117:

Spoiler for brief spoilers:

I'd assumed wrongly that the Meijin that Harada had played against when he was 26 was Arata's grandfather, but it seems like it was when he was 19 and Wataya Meijin was 34.

No idea who the Meijin he played at 26 was...it really looks a little like Wataya-sensei (chapter 115, p6) to me though
