This blog is a blog about Go. This is a game I have come to admire. It is not the first game I have studied and tried to master. It may be the most difficult. I was recently thinking about the links between these games:
Go
Chess
Football
Basketball
Poker
These are games I spent time thinking about and reading about on some level during my lifetime. It strikes me that with the exception of poker these are all complete information games. All the players positions and tactics are declared and unveiled in plain view. All these games as well place an emphasis on aggression. I am not a particularly aggressive guy in real life. I also feel like I am better at reading people which could suggest better ability at incomplete information games. Why am I attracted to these games? Is it a form of roleplay?
I've hit a losing skid at Go. I'm trying but I think I got rusty over the break! I'll need to read, play, and improve.
