Life In 19x19

Qin Empire, a Chinese TV series available on Netflix, has a scene in episode 6 at about 21 minutes in which the king of Qin is playing Go by himself while discussing state matters with one of his generals.

Edit: This show has Go scenes in most episodes, sometimes used to illustrate politics.

Pretty close to the colors of Alpha Kappa Alpha, my wife's sorority. Maybe I can get her to play now?!

As a long-time fan of the novel, Chinese TV series, and all of the Koei game adaptations, this version seems to depart drastically from the history--at least according to many reviews on Steam. For myself, I will wait for a substantial sale.

Andromeda, season 1, episode 5, starting at 27 minutes a game of 3-D Go. I guess in the future regular Go will be passe'.

Thanks!

Edit: I just discovered that the book is available from SmartGo, so I bought the electronic version. Which I can begin reading right now.

$168.54 for a used copy from Amazon is just a bit too steep for me.

Edit: I now have found the thread on your book. Too bad it seems to be out of print.

Hi, John

Would you care to expound a bit on how viewing the board split diagonally might lead to some different assessments? Perhaps you could point to some theoretical works translated into English?

I was flustered the first time I used it by the time counting up.

There's probably no option to have it count down?

If there is an option, I haven't been able to find it. Of course, having no instructions beyond what someone posted at Senseis doesn't help.

Have you looked at joining as a regular student or the discounted spectator membership at this Go school https://ayd.yunguseng.com/howitworks.html

I really can't add anything that hasn't been said already, except that I was flustered the first time I used it by the time counting up. Setting the clock really is very quick and easy. My only reservation, compared to my Chronus, is that the plastic case on the Meijen doesn't feel very solid...but ...

Thanks, I missed that post.

Additionally, I think I read in some thread here about comparative efficiency of adding a stone to different areas based on the local balance of power (number of stones per side), which I thought might apply in this position. Thank you in advance for any further insight!

Well, yeah, the 3-3 ...

Isn't a considered too slow and gote these days?

Leela 11 was trained on human play.
