Do you happen to remember if the two were completely still shots,
or were they "animated" -- with the camera doing more than just 2D panning or rotation ? :)


They were mostly static; there were two shots of the same board and stones position from different camera angles, with perhaps a bit of panning (unless I am remembering incorrectly). The second shot (pictured) also had a hand reach over the board to place a stone (I timed the screenshot to capture the full board, without the hand obstructing it).

Hi LocoRon, Thanks. Very pretty. Based on this screenshot alone,
it seems they had a much bigger budget than Hikaru. :)

Not mainstream (well, a lot of people visit this town during the summer), but I saw this figure in the front window of a board game/gift shop (they had the usual run-of-the-mill board games inside, not even a go board as far as I could tell) in Mirepoix, France. Looks like white plays horrible, but it seems to be a 9x9 board, playing go (playing on intersections, the way the rightmost player holds the stone)

Here is a blog quote I just read today.

As many readers know, I’m a fan of what the game of Go calls a “strong move” — very aggressive play when the position is favorable.


Not what I would call a strong move, but I'll let that pass. ;)

Watching that other game I play, Magic finals from the Seattle-Tacoma Grand Prix (big open for all tournament) in legacy the winner Jarvis Wo thanked his father for learning him the much harder games "bridge, chess and Go" .

(Also I think he is correct if you get better at Go you get better at Magic, I am horrible at both, partly because work have made me have no time to study or play Go again and I tend to overwrite data in my brain)

In a kid's show "Girl vs. Monster" on Netflix, about 20 minutes in the main character's babysitter suggests they play some "classic board games" while holding a chess board and a travel go set. Later the board is shown on the table as the babysitter plays Jenga by himself.

My son was watching the show :) and recognized the games.

The category was called "go" and designed in such a way to look like a go board. a board was seen in the 2000 one, but obviously it had no depiction of a real game, just showing what a capture looked like

At the very beginning of the original 1954 Godzilla (Gojira) there are some sailors playing go -- just before an underwater explosion that wakes Godzilla. The board is knocked over.

Not sure how mainstream it is but about half an hour into Mobile Suit Gundam Origin 1: Blue Casval, there is a character playing what looks like a computer version of Go with a regular goban as the interface.

Was watching TV on the iPad to my left while working on the big 27" iMac … suddenly I got excited.

“Night Train (2009 film)”, I think it was around around 00:27:00, just before they want to throw the corpse out of the window when crossing the bridge (German TV, I don't know how much it’s been cut).

Sadly I pressed the screenshot combo too late, so on the second image most of the board is obscured by that flyer.

From those two pictures, this looks like a handicap game. Black seems to have every star point and white has played a two space high approach to one of black's corners in the lower picture, a classic handicap move. Also, the clamp against the side star-point stone is another handicap technique and, given black's weak response, I'm not surprised he needs stones against his opponent.

This is a repost from the AGA web site, but David Lee Roth, the lead singer of Van Halen, just posted a picture on his Facebook page of him taking a go lesson with Kim Myungwan 9p:
