That could still be a very valid pic of a go game between beginners.

I just watched this episode with my partner
Star Trek Enterprise (“Cogenitor” - S02 Ep22 - 28m39s)
Commander Tucker (B) is playing Go with an Alien (W).
He disagrees with the Alien Culture, where a third sex will held like pets, only for reproducing. He teaches it reading and shows ship and earth culture.
Tucker is losing, what prooves the intelligence of the “pet”. (altough there are still many many weaknesses for white),…It looks like, they had probably a 18-22k player on the set

and we were laughing when the more experienced player congratulated the beginner after they won, and said: “No one has beaten me at this game in years!”
And we were like, “He’s probably 20k or so, but he’s the only Go player on that ship.” “That’s a very realistic explanation.”

This game is played by Yoda Norimoto and Cho Chikun at 1991-01-30 during the 16th Japanese Meijin.
Black (Yoda) wins by 0.5 with 5.5 Komi.
Strictly not a movie or a TV show, but a book.

It is a fiction based on the real character of Judge Dee (Ti Jen-chieh or Di Renjie), a magistrate and statesman of the Tang court, who lived roughly 630–700.
This book was originally written by Robert van Gulik sometime between 1953 and 1956. Like its predecessor, The Chinese Maze Murders it was intended for a Japanese or Chinese audience but ...
This strange go problem is shown in chapter 5.
