Excellent! I shall add learning Japanese to learning Go to my bucket list <grin>... or just reading: https://www.amazon.com/Scott-Boorman/dp/0195014936 <https://www.amazon.com/Scott-Boorman/dp/0195014936> I like the book-blurb about the US thinking it was playing Chess when in fact it was///Wei-Ch’i (also known as Go)/. Back home, it looked to me like the politicians were playing Checkers, expecting to sacrifice the board of Pawns tactically to "win" and many of us being fitted for our "cannon fodder" Pawn-costumes were playing "hell NO, I won't GO" or "hell YES! Ho Gung HO!", ending up as cannon-fodder (body-bag or tarNfeather draft-dodger suit nonetheless. This past 4 years has felt like a recurring nightmare game of Tic-Tac-Toe even though we know the best outcome is a cat's-game unless your opponent makes a stupid mistake, but then letting said opponent (DT) flip the board every time he's about to lose (change the subject of the headlines this cycle with an outrageous tweet/order/act).
