This is questionable.
Best thing about go is balance, for me.
Knowing that excess can be punished.
Managing the right amount of self care and initiative.
Killing a group can be satisfying but keeping the score difference under 5 pts along the entire game is precious. My opinion, of course.
Back to the joke, I think that it’s perfectly working: reduction may be the wrong answer sometimes, but definitely there are many people that want to reduce their weight.
So, playing go trying to reduce is a nice double meaning.
Eating sones, on the other hand, would help increasing weight, so it’s suited for gluttonous people and for those who are skinny.
Shall we open a new “Go Jokes pedantry” thread?
