Playing Go in Movies and TV-Shows (pictures)

FWIW, that’s not the kind of content I expect to come across here, and covered or not, I appreciated the spoiler cover :slight_smile:

There might not have been anything “wrong” with leaving it open, but I appreciate that he thought of others.

Andromeda, Season 1, ep. 5
They simply call it ‘Go’ in the dialogue, irrespective of the modifications to our present format.

Is it a good movie?

R there English subtitles available?

It wasn’t life-changing, but I enjoyed it. Yes, they are available.

I can’t officially recommend the site I watched it, though…

lol… U cant recommend it eh?? Perhaps this was not quite a proper download.

I can officially say I did not download it.

(I streamed it).

Well, AFAIK, to be completely correct, streaming means it has to be downloaded in parts so that it can be buffered for continuous watching without pauses when internet connection fluctuates :sunglasses:

I haven’t checked the whole thread, so I don’t know if it’s already been posted, but I’ve just started watching Godzilla. In the first scene a military ship is attacked by the monster (well I’ve only watched that scene so officially I don’t know, it’s supposed to be mysterious, but come on, it’s the monster). Anyway, the soldiers are chilling, some of them are playing their instruments and some are playing Go. When the ship is attacked the goban falls on the deck, in this shot you can see the stones. I should probably get a life, I feel so proud for this.

Someone might flag this as off-topic because it’s actually ‘Go in a music clip’ but that clip was on a TV-Show so :stuck_out_tongue:


Don’t get excited though. You will need to be fast with the pause button to even see it.

During the lockdown my wife discovered k-dramas. :slight_smile:

She showed me these scenes:

  • The snow queen (Nun-ui yeo-wang) 2006


The young man accidentally hits the goban and throws all the stones on the floor. Then he picks them up and places them again in the right positions, astonishing the older man.

  • My name is Kim Sam-Soon

Nae ireum-eun Kim Sam-soon (MBC, 2005)


Just a comment about a mother planning his son’s wedding.

  • Itaewon Class

Owner of a food company plays baduk with his sons and compares their strategies in real life and on the board.

Samuel Reshevsky, in his New York Times chess column, probably back in the 1960s or even the 1950s, compiled a number of answers to this question. I remember only three of them:

Frank Marshall answered, “Two,” and the amazed reporter said, “Only two?!” Marshall responded, “Yes, but two good moves!”

Emanuel Lasker answered, “One more than my opponent.”

And Capablanca answered the question seriously: “25 moves.”
