This “STEALTH” B12 Bomber managed to stay on the board with zero liberties!

(it does have liberties, it’s connected to a dragon, the white balance just makes the connecting stone not look as black)

(opening)
(E2 ~8:40)
(E2 ~24:15 long scene)
(E2 ~37:25-38:00)
(E3 ~19:55 long scene)
(E3 ~24:15)
(E4 ~40:00 long scene)
(E6 ~16:00)
(E8 ~19:40)
Demos for some of the positions The Glory
(Black to move, does black live?)
Looks like not only black managed to win a ko in bottom-right there but also pull off all this nonsense on the top

Maybe it’s a teaching game? I actually remember the episode, but didn’t know a thing about Go at the time. Actually, it can’t have been a teaching game, I think Tucker was surprised to lose? I remember a show called due South where one of the characters was supposed to be good at chess, but fell for checkmate to in one. Equally cringe worthy, I suppose.

Nirvana In fire(2015), a very fine Chinese TV episode which inspires me a lot.
I think so by completing the ponnuki making miai to make one eye on both direction
On the pics of the movie: it hurts me so much to see a set under the rain. First time in my life

That was my first thought.
The second was: is there some disclaimer such as “no goban were harmed to make this movie”?

サマーウォーズ (Summer Wars).
They are playing koi-koi, which is partially derived from a game called Go-Stop. So technically playing Go in movies?

So It’s like 1 second? Funny (and well observed)
Nice cameo. Two nitpicks:
- A rotating go board falls into the category of a solution to a problem no one ever had
- I don’t know if “extreme aggressor” is the proper classification. I’d say this guy plays on Fox a lot.

Rotating go board doesn’t really make much sense for self play, but I could see if being useful for reviewing games/positions.
