Yugi no Go
By Moonraker One

Author's Note: Akira Toya plays a game of Go with Yu-Gi-Oh. Go Terms: joseki- the shape of a go player's gameplay based on his or her moves

They sat at the table

The pharaoh and he

Young Akira Toya

A Go prodigy

Akira said "Let me warn you"

"You see, I am a pro"

The pharaoh unimpressed

"That fact I know."

"My young go player,"

The pharaoh did say,

"I am the king,"

"Of games in every way."

So the game started even

With no handicap

For the mighty pharaoh

Who sat weary of traps

The game started smoothly

Go stones going CLACK!

Thirty moves into gameplay

Akira, on the attack!

The pharaoh sat still

Hard as a stone

Against the oncoming melee

As if still on his throne

"Do not think you have won,"

he said once again,

"Sooner or later my plan

will take you and then…"

Akira said nothing,

Merely kept up his game,

Although it seemed his joseki

Might be going lame

'Twas close to the end

Pharaoh starting to make

His final try to win

All his skills it would take

Soon it would seem

That Akira would lose

Despite all his skill

Difficult choice he must choose

However luck called his name

Fate seemed to fall in line

Several moves in his favor

Well, crud, it's about time!

The final move of that game

Akira connected two joints

Of his joseki then cried,

"That destroys your life points!"
