Living Cosmos

I learned something from my teacher (Shygost) today:

The heart of Go is getting moves for free by forcing your opponent to respond to weaknesses.

The way to find this heart is to look at all the weaknesses on the board and fix yours while threatening his!

I used to play a lot of chess. In Chess, you dont spend the last 25% of the moves on the edge of your chair in complete suspense.

In Go, the tension simply mounts. Things get deeper and deeper and more complex. Patterns emerge. Connections form. Possibilities appear out of nowhere.
