Epigraph

Go is a pursuit of such value that one can devote a lifetime to it and have nothing to regret.
- Kageyama Toshiro, 20th-century Japanese professional Go player

Mountain monks sit playing Go.
Over the board falls the bamboo's lucent shade.
No one sees them through the glittering leaves.
But now and then hou hear the click of a stone.
- Po Chui, 8th-century Chinese poet

"Just one game,"
they said, and started to play.
That was yesterday.
- Traditional Chinese verse
