Thrilled commentary.
Friends don’t understand a word.
It’s Go in the West.
Can’t write every day, but maybe once in a while.

Brings an avalanche in go,
But not in real life.

Stones of black and white –
the world’s balance intertwined

I’m late to the party, but whatever
Fighting for moyo.
But what is it black has missed?
White has an airport.

But chose to play tenuki.
The board gently groans.

Wrote a haiku in English and Japanese.
Don’t kill a reduction
My escape route blocked / 逃げられず
Your territory destroyed /じゃ、地が壊しよう
Thank you for the feast / ごちそうさま
Not sure if my Japanese expressions are correct though.

Smoke-breath in the night
Sky-map board and augur-stones

A popular theory hypothesises that Go originated from a sort of ancient Chinese astrology, which used the board and stones to interpret the features of the night sky.
And another one to celebrate college breaking up for Christmas:
Aliens play Go
I went to their planet, but
Their boards were 6D
