Go is so divergent in the possibilities, that computers can't deal with it. Go is more about shapes and feelings. Yet one has to pay attention too when playing Go.
I have played GO, I even have the set. It is difficult. I also love Pente, a strategy game with stones, but much simpler.

Ooh, me too! I used to play Pente all the time. I had forgotten about that game. I never learned all the ins and out of Go, though. It seemed like it would take a lot of time to become a "Go master".

If they are really at your place, how come they do not seem as motivated as you are ? ... I doubt :shy:
No. Really. They're right here. Right now. Send the box. :devil: :biggrin:
 
Tsunami said:
Yeah. They're both right here next to me. Now, SEND THAT BOX! :biggrin: Ooooooooo... I can't WAIT! Yum! :biggrin:
Don't believe her! Oh wait, I'm outside the house, I can intercept the package... :devil: :-p

Yeah, SEND that package! :biggrin:
 
You can play Go against a very experienced player by getting advantages before the beginning of the game. There are a few strategical spots on the board. If you can keep them, it's almost impossible to beat you ! :approve:

This is not possible with chess. A master while smatch you with his thumb in chess :surprise: I have contempt for chess. Chess players are so proud of themselves.

Georges Perec has written an entire book about the fact that Go is so much better than Chess
"Chess is a fathead and feudal game" -- Georges Perec :-p :-p

OOhhh! This looks wonderful! When I die I want to go to Fauchon!

http://www.fauchon.com
I know. It looks WONDERFUL, doesn't it? :wink: C'mon MIH. Tell him you're right here next to me. I WANT THAT BOX - REAL BAD! :surprise: :biggrin: :biggrin:
 
I forgot the box :bugeye:
And it's too late in France, Fauchon is closed now :redface: :shy: :blush:
 
Here I am! Here I am! I'm right next to Tsunami in the kitchen, jumping up and down thinking about that wonderful box of beautiful and delcious treasures! ooOOh.. won't you send it now please.. :smile:
And I am keeping an eye on you Ms. Evo... we see you out there walking on the gravel pacing back and forth waiting for the mailman .. BUT let me just remind you of one thing.. Do you REALLY think the mailman is going to hand over a package to a skunk? :rolleyes: If he's sees you he'll run the other way! :surprise:

Now, bring your bushy tail back here in the kitchen with me, and and let Tsunami go fetch the package for us! :biggrin:

Oh, that's OK sweetie. We can wait until tomorrow. :wink: :approve:
 
Which reminds me...

If our lovely PF ladies would be so kind as to inform me of their adresses (PM me or something), I might actually send over some chocolates...
Just imagining the looks of delight on their faces would be all the compensation I could ever want :wink:

It is my completely objective, scientific opinion that Dimitri is flawless. (Dimitri, look for my PM, ok?)
Aha! I saw that secret message! :-p

Dimitri is flawless. Why was I born too soon?? :cry:
 
Pictures, folks, pictures. I can think of no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to see more members!
 
yeah, less talk, more photos.
 
I've been something of an enigma lately (when it comes to online communications mediums at least), but I submit to you proof that I do indeed exist. I'm not one for taking pictures, so this picture represents a capitalized voyeuristic opportunity by my friend. And yes, I do shave, but sometimes not on the weekend :)

Descartes, I am not able to open your picture.

If you can add it as an attachment, I will approve it.
 
Sorry Evo. I'll attach a smaller version this time, thanks!

I'll say it, too! Descartes, you're cute!
 
That's very flattering coming from you two. Thanks very much! :redface:
 
Math Is Hard said:
Descartes, you're definitely nice looking - but what the heck is going on in that picture?
Some kind of martial arts? :-p
 
Math Is Hard said:
It looks like he was fending off a drive-by photographer! :biggrin:

That would be correct. I'm not one for photographs, so my friend capitalized on the opportunity. The hand was my futile protest after I realized a picture was being taken. :biggrin:
 
This one is a bit artistic but fits the name. :wink:
