Sorry, I don't play Go in the sense of having played enough games to be anything remotely like good; I only play Go in the sense of knowing the rules and having tried my hand at, oh, maybe fifty games total. This is one of the main things I would do more of, if I thought I actually owned my time.

I've played a lot of go. You may be missing out.

Go is a great brain exercise, with lots of cross-domain lessons in it - though most are to do with zero-sum games. On the other hand, as with many good things, it can be kind-of addictive.
