After answering the reddit question I just read this quote by Go Seigenwatching Go Seigen well advanced in years looking at the go board
touched me deeply
I focused anew at the game. Go will be my companion till the end.
You might think study is meaningless for me, since I retired so many years ago. But for people who play it, Go is like an eternal friend, a permanent art form. I’ll continue playing and studying Go. Probably just like you.
