In the fifth episode of Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin, a travelogue series following Michael’s circumglobal journey in late 1988, he takes a long-distance train from Canton (Guangzhou) north to Shanghai.

At 38 minutes in, as Michael walks through Intermediate Class, there is this curious scene:

In the second it’s shown, both players seem to be playing close attention to the board, and the man on the left is fiddling with the stones without actually moving them. We can’t see any white stones on the board. The board actually looks like 8x8 or even 7x7, although I expect it’s probably 9x9.

My best guess at what happened is that Black, probably the left man, beat White in a 9x9 game and is now reviewing, without bothering to replace the captured stones.

Actually, the bowl of black stones seems to be visible to the right of the right-side man, so that would imply that the man in the white shirt is playing Black. Then again, the bowl of white stones may be hidden behind the white-shirted man’s torso, which would lead us back to the original conclusion. Or perhaps that’s not even a bowl but actually an ashtray, and Black’s bowl is off-camera to his right.
