"His favorite aspect of the board game, he admitted, it that it is a “game that asks you to do the best in that very moment.”

That is why it’s impossible to be good at baduk if you don’t think outside the box, he added.

Another aspect, Park noted, is its humanistic value. “We can’t win or lose our lives,” he said. “That’s why we become weak competitors once we’ve figured it out.”

That's just what old people say when they find out they can't make pro. ;-)
