Oddly enough that's what they sounded like in my head. Strange considering I'm not from there.

Believe it or not, but this is how I imagine Go in my head when I'm playing. I'm indeed a strange fellow, so I thought I'd offer you all a visit to my strange imagination. If you all like this, I might do more. Edit: Visualization (Thought this might come in handy) [sgf-full](;GM[1]FF[4]CA[UTF-8]AP[CGoban:3]ST[2] RU[Japanese]SZ[19]KM[0.00] PW[White]PB[Black] ;B[pd] ;W[dp] ;B[pp] ;W[dd] ;B[pj] ;W[nc] ;B[lc] ;W[ne] ;B[pf] ;W[kd] ;B[ld] ;W[le])[/sgf-full] Conversations: B - Black W - White R- Red Black: Hello my friend. White: Hi there. Black: So, is it quite alright if I take Q16? White: Sure, go ahead. I wanted to take D4 anyway. Black: Cool. Seems like that's pretty even. White: Indeed. Shall we continue playing? Black: We shall indeed! I'd like Q4 now. White: Splendid! That leaves me with D16! Quite a lovely little setup we have here! Black: Oh it is. You have two corners, I have two corners. Pretty even, eh? Well, I think I'll take Q10 now. White: Oh, very interesting. I hadn't the foggiest you'd consider taking that point! Very well then. I shall try to limit your gain with O17! Black: Nice try, but I am well prepared for your tactics! M17! White: Wow, that looks very nice. A pincer. I expected that! And now I respond with O15! Black: Thank you. I hoped you would! Now I shall expand my influence with Q14. What say you to that, my old friend? White: Hm. I would very much like to attack you! L16! Black: Oh, but I expected that. That is why I shall play M16! What say you to that? White: Good Heavens! You answer me brilliantly! However, that leaves me to take M15! And what do you have to say to that? Red: I say you both shut your mouths! Some of us are trying to sleep! |

Strange considering I'm not from there. -I am reminded of those two gophers from Looney Tunes  .I've thought about this quite a bit actually - a strong player once told me that when you get really good at Go you start to hear the stones talking to each other. Maybe not exactly like this, but I assume it's a similar concept  .
