Post subject: | I Tenuki (Humorous) |
I was thinking of Go terms, and this one came to my head. So I decided to write a humorous little poem about the tenuki. It's actually a bad habit I've developed. I tenuki at all the wrong times. I've lost several games because I let a group die when I could have saved it. << Also, for those who don't get the Tanooki reference, here you go: I Tenuki When my opponent places a stone I gaze in shock; awe; stunned surprise And I simply tenuki The stones, they're surely alive They can thrive without further help And thus; I simply tenuki My opponent cocks an eyebrow My moves frazzle his befuddled mind He doesn't like to tenuki So he tries to capture my stones Wait- I think I made a mistake Because he doesn't like to tenuki So my stones are spiraling; Almost dead They're crying; they're sighing; they're dying But I'm addicted to the simple tenuki The game is long over and moreover I feel like a fool wearing a Tanooki suit So I simply tenuki |

And for those who (like me) still didn't get the “Tanooki” [Tanuki] reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_raccoon_dog Wikipedia wrote: The Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), also known as tanuki (狸 or たぬき [..]) in Japanese, is a subspecies of the Asian raccoon dog. (Emphasis added by me)Researchers [..] have suggested that they be considered a separate species, N. viverrinus, or that raccoon dogs of Japan could be further divisible into separate subspecies as N. p. procyonoides (hondo-tanuki) and N. p. albus (ezo-tanuki), but both views are controversial. As the tanuki, the animal has been significant in Japanese folklore since ancient times. The legendary tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absentminded. It is also a common theme in Japanese art, especially statuary. "Tanuki" is often mistakenly translated into English as "badger" or "raccoon" [..], two unrelated types of animals with superficially similar appearances. Traditionally, different areas of Japan had different names for raccoon dogs as animals, which would be used to denote different animals in other parts of the country, including badgers and wild cats; however, the official word in the standard Tokyo dialect is now "tanuki", a term that also carries the folkloric significance. And then there’s “Master Tenuki”, of course, from Inkwolf’s wonderful “Aji’s Quest”: |

LOL. I wish I had a bit of that habit. Now I'm sometimes wasting stones by making 100% sure that a group is alive, while it actually already is, even without the extra stone. That causes my opponent to be able to either save a group, close a gap, or fix something else that I could have exploited but didn't, because 'I'm going to wait one more move to first make this group alive, for sure'. |
