Believe it or not, but this is how I imagine Go in my head when I'm playing. I'm indeed a strange fellow, so I thought I'd offer you all a visit to my strange imagination. If you all like this, I might do more.

Edit: Visualization (Thought this might come in handy)

Black: Hello my friend.

White: Hi there.

Black: So, is it quite alright if I take Q16?

White: Sure, go ahead. I wanted to take D4 anyway.

Black: Cool. Seems like that's pretty even.

White: Indeed. Shall we continue playing?

Black: We shall indeed! I'd like Q4 now.

White: Splendid! That leaves me with D16! Quite a lovely little setup we have here!

Black: Oh it is. You have two corners, I have two corners. Pretty even, eh? Well, I think I'll take Q10 now.

White: Oh, very interesting. I hadn't the foggiest you'd consider taking that point!

Very well then. I shall try to limit your gain with O17!

Black: Nice try, but I am well prepared for your tactics!

M17!

White: Wow, that looks very nice. A pincer. I expected that! And now I respond with O15!

Black: Thank you. I hoped you would! Now I shall expand my influence with Q14. What say you to that, my old friend?

White: Hm. I would very much like to attack you! L16!

Black: Oh, but I expected that. That is why I shall play M16!

What say you to that?

White: Good Heavens! You answer me brilliantly! However, that leaves me to take M15!

And what do you have to say to that?

Red: I say you both shut your mouths! Some of us are trying to sleep!

What amicable stones you have! The things my go stones say are unprintable on this forum.

Mine tend to say "Ooof" and "Aaaarrrgh" as they plunge into the lower depths...

Your stones sound like true British gentlemen.

Oddly enough that's what they sounded like in my head. Strange considering I'm not from there.

You'd think my stones say the same since I'm an 11k. lol

I would be quite intimidated to hear yours, then. :O

-I am reminded of those two gophers from Looney Tunes .

I've thought about this quite a bit actually - a strong player once told me that when you get really good at Go you start to hear the stones talking to each other. Maybe not exactly like this, but I assume it's a similar concept .

Oh gosh, I'd be terrified of hearing my stones talk to me. I can't imagine the kind of negative feedback I'd receive in game. :O
