Summary
Go uses the most elemental materials and concepts — line and circle, wood and stone, black and white — combining them with simple rules to generate subtle strategies and complex tactics that stagger the imagination.
— Iwamoto Kaoru, 9th dan.
“Lan Zhan, why did you start playing Weiqi?”
Lan Zhan has met great many players. Professional or not, they each had their little things about them, and most of them had already been asked that question in their lives on one or ten interviews; the answers varied from family practice, to love of the game, to neither and to no reason. When Lan Zhan gave an interview to a Weiqi magazine after becoming one of the youngest people to become a professional player, he was obviously asked that question.
But he didn’t have an answer.
It’s not that he didn’t like playing Weiqi or that he thought he wasn’t good at it or didn’t have a reason for playing. He just didn’t have an answer; he didn’t know why he played.
