I have no idea how to play Go but reading his responses are quite and interesting and insightful into the realm. Go does seem very different from other kinds of sport. I guess this stems from the fact that it can't be brute forced so it's very much a game that goes by feel, intuition and experience?

Go is also seen as a martial art and much of its underpinnings are spiritual in nature. It's a much different beast than chess from a cultural standpoint, hence the somewhat strange replies.
