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.
