That’s enough. Either you are trolling this forum by repeatedly sending absurd propositions, or your line of thinking is orthogonal to the vast majority of go players. In any case, trying to continue this discussion is a waste of time.

Correct. I stated a fact: Playing go in a computer is superior to using a physical board.
No discussion is possible when someone says his opinions are facts.

You are demonstrating your ignorance of the case.

For someone wish to see the original Chinese version (mostly the same, but with a bit different in tones and wordings, and without the final quotes from Meng Tailing)
I would like to hire that mediator and put him on some international cases.

Well, that was quite a big fuss about something quite unimportant .

I mean, there’s pretty major prize money on the line for these tournaments, not to mention how important posturing is for China rn in SE Asia

There are no official world go championship but some tournaments like this one are considered like a substitute to it.
Your opinion is surely not shared by go enthusiasts who care about a victory due to not respecting the rules instead of a victory by the result of the game.

I don’t say that there was nothing to care about but that it blew way out of proportion imho. I love go. Otherwise, I would not spent as much time and money on it as I do. However, what I hate about this is that the solution is very pragmatic and that we wouldn’t need to go through all the personal drama and nationalistic tension. Sure, missing the prize money is sad for Ke Jie but this is more of an economic problem that is not addressed by the discourse at all. In my viewpoint, we ralied up a lot of people against each other making the Go world a bit less welcoming, did not adressed the more basic questions and in the end only discussed about some technical detail. For me, this feels like we burned bridges over the question if we should use camel case or underscores in the code.

For me, go is a universal language that should unite all countries and all generations. Sadly, many people don’t agree with that and consider go as a tool to enhance a country’s supremacy.

That summarized my position maybe better than I did.

Well at least it seems to end well for what I can read from the federations, they will rework the rules in some better spirit.

Let’s just wait for the Nongshin Cup and see how the Korean referees perform in a Chinese city sponsored by a Korean Corporation that has a big market share in China. I got a sense this was just pushed down for the moment with political will quite high up. But the Nongshin Cup is a competition between national teams, so let’s just hope the peace on the surface can hold. The ones that probably have the most pressure would be SJS and PJH.
I watched it live
