Maybe you were still a teenager and have improved since.

When I was in jail, I was the top player. I lived in a cell with another individual who was second strongest after me, so we had fun playing when all cells were closed. Got 100 days for throwing a punch at a guy. The punch missed his face, so he didn't get hurt at all. But the cops standing by were not amused. |

I think if I went to prison and brought Igo Hatsuyoron with me, I'd come out several stones stronger. Memorize joseki, lose 2 stones. Go to prison, gain 2 stones. |

Maybe you were still a teenager and have improved since. I'm Canadian. Talking about chess, since the article is about chess. I also played Go in jail. I would draw a board on paper using pencil and play against myself. I'm not much of a lawbreaker, just got into a fight. Didn't so much as scratch the guy, my punch missed him. Still got arrested. |

Thanks. May I ask how it reached that point ( the launch of the missed punch ) ? |

Thanks. My wishful thinking was for something less cosmic, and more anecdotal, so maybe one could learn a lesson. But thanks, anyway.
