In this episode, Travis speaks with former Korean professional and Go studies professor Chihyung Nam about the origins and historical development of Go, including its spread from China to Korea and Japan and the evolution of the 19×19 board. The episode also explores differences in professional dan promotion systems across countries and why rank alone may not accurately reflect playing strength. It closes with BenKyo discussing burnout, rest, varied study, and the value of staying adventurous while improving.

This episode is from All Things Go, a podcast about the board game Go, also known as Baduk in Korea and Weiqi in China.

Travis speaks with Shawn Ray, known online as Clossius, about building a life around teaching Go, developing the Clossi approach, and making the game more welcoming to beginners and casual players. Shawn explains how he moved away from a conventional desk job, why he emphasizes simple English terminology, how players can review games without becoming overly self-critical, and why playing more games often matters more than trying to play perfectly. The episode also includes Gazza White’s discussion of the gender gap in professional Go and Travis’s season-ending reflections on teaching, accessibility, losing, and growing the game in the West.
