Hmm... for some reason I find it hard to reconcile Kevin Sorbo with Go. But fictional representations of Go are rare enough to always be cool Particularly that scene from the Chinese flick Hero.

I'm fascinated (and frustrated) by how computer-proof Go is. It's such a complicated game to grasp and excel at, and nobody seems to really have any good way of programming a computer to do it. A computer beat Kasparov, but it'll be a while before somebody makes a program that'll take out the world's top Go players.

The frustration lies in the necessity of finding a human opponent to play against.
