What game is he playing?
I've heard that, among elite Go players, it's most prestigious to beat an esteemed opponent by a small margin, such that a 1-point win is considered ideal.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoi think that could be a separate issue from the tactics of the actual game. if an opponent blunders such that you have 2 moves that seal the game for you, one which gives a large point victory and one which gives a small one, it is considered polite to take the small one as a show of respect for your opponents skills. that's the way I've heard it at least. Go etiquette reflects japanese culture and not having grown up in it I'm sure none of us truly appreciate all the subtleties.
