@ALoafOfBread like many people it was seeing hikaru no go around 2003 at an anime convention. spent a long time getting into it not really understanding the rules. only in the last years since the AI go revolution did i get back into it and finally start to understand the game as a whole. still stuck hovering above 10kyu though :(

Hikaru no Go is awesome. I watched it back in my earliest days playing Go. I’m still right around 10k as well! Maybe a little better or worse depending on how much I’ve been playing.
It’s so cool how AI has changed how we think about Go. Instead of us thinking of it as a “solved game” now that AI can beat all but the best players, we look at AI as the ultimate Go tutor. I think that really speaks to the spirit of the game.
