Re: Go problem
Scratching-touching while thinking? There is a very old picture of yours truly with... small beard and sideburns, playing in a tournament. The only time in my life (like, 10 days!) I had any of them.

Not at all, we love to cut, but only if we are cutting off a lot.
Tactics yes, Tact no...

Re: Go problem
There are 16 beards (and one moustache) out of 60 photos, about 26%, but that rises to 32% when we disregard the 10 ladies. There should also be a different photo for Matthew Macfadyen, since he has shaved his beard off. You are just fortunate that my Santa Claus effort of 2006 does not get onto that page.
Best wishes.
Best wishes.
No aji, keshi, kifu or kikashi has been harmed in the compiling of this post.
