I played a Game of Go with my friend Dan last night. He’s slightly better at it than I am, so although he kindly made a few silly mistakes that allowed me to gain some advantage around the edges, he pretty much took out the centre of the board and ran away with the game.

I tried to influence the outcome by giving him whisky, but since I had to drink it as well so that he wouldn’t suspect anything, the potential advantage was lost.

Still… we had a good time and have arranged to have another crack at it in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, is there nobody else in this town who plays Go? Say… someone that I’m slightly better than?
