It's time to react to a message I left for myself last year! Also, this is the last episode of 2024. I'll be taking a 2-week break so I'll see y'all Jan 6, 2025. I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

This is part 2 of episode 47: The Classic of Weiqi (Chapters 1-6)! The Classic of Weiqi is an ancient Chinese text about Go so listen in as we take a look at some more general Go advice and proverbs that are over a thousand years old.

This week's episode is all about intuition and how to hone our quick judgment of situations on the Go board!

An interesting 2018 study seeks to find out the effects of Go learning on the cognitive development of children, if any. Let's talk about it!

Don't get me wrong! Go teachers are great! But if I had to give a few pointers...

I ponder a listener's thoughts on why simple study may not be the key to unlocking your next rank, the limitations of SGF game reviews, and the dangers of identifying with a style.

Thanks again for the insightful writeup, Eric!
