> What are you getting out of your high level go playing specifically? Not the GP nor a particularly high-level player, but as a game develops there are opportunities to choose from several strong moves, the more skilled one is at go, the more able they are to follow a game and understand what the choices a player makes says about their style. e.g. when given a choice, do they make more offensive or defensive moves? Where is their focus? What might that communicate about their mindset that could perhaps be leveraged in the game? It's like language, where at a certain level you may be capable of following basic vocabulary and grammar, but with experience you learn to pick up on idioms, double-meanings, and so on, which adds another layer to what's being communicated. Even at professional-level play, where openings and patterns are the basic vocabulary, there's still room for stylistic variation.
