Guess, one can argue that ^^

I really like the chapter in "Direction of Play" where Kajiwara describes the difference between amateurs and professionals. The professional has to compete and make his living with Go, so there is no other way for him as to try to be the best and I think there is nothing lazy about this.

tiger wood makes 10x more money just playing golf.

professionals constantly have to study new josekies to update their knowledge.
they lose more energy in 1 game than running a marathon.
professionals lazy? NO!!!
i think you are lazy for being a weakass player.

I was kind of hoping this thread would keep 0 replies, but that hope is gone now :cry: . Anyway, let's not feed the troll.

From an interview with Lee Sedol:

Q: How much time do you spend studying Go each day?
Lee Sedol: I am not so diligent, but sometimes when I am watching TV I will suddenly start thinking of Go.

This thread is ridiculous and will very likely not lead to an insightful discussion, so...yeah, closing on grounds of super high level of trolling by OP.
