Go meets Tetris…

Very addictive combination between Go and Tetris: http://chesstris.com/2007/04/21/play-go-tetris-now/

One point? That’s not too much.

I was playing Go with my daughter, Alex, a couple of days ago (she is 6).

Normally we play capture-Go, but this time she decided to play “territory Go”.

We played on 13×13, and I tried to keep the game very close and let her win - she doesn’t like to lose, but somehow it turned out that I won by 1 point. I counted the score, and told her:

“So… I won by one point…”.

Alex (after thinking for a few moments):

“One point… that’s not too much!”

Me (relieved):

“No, it’s not much at all!”

Alex (explaining to me patiently):

“It is not much because 1 is only the second number - the first one is zero.”

Next time I’ll make sure we have a jigo. :-)
