Well right now I'm wondering what you thought about the last chapter? After all, it was, how do you say, a bit different then the others. Its just one of those major event chapters I like to put in.
Now its occurred to me that I am supposed to put some sort of legal disclaimer saying: "i don't own his dark materials," or something like that. While I don't think I should really need to put that, after all I am putting no claim to it ever, I don't want to get yelled at or anything so:
I don't own His Dark Materials. It is owned by someone else, and I stake no claim towards His Dark Materials. For questions about to be answered, please contact me at benroshi@trigun.com and I will fulfill your request to make this humble fan fiction a more legal story, so that it may benefit us all.
Now that that is done, on with the explanations!
First word you might of been thrown off by, that I really need to clear up, is GOBAN. What is a goban, well that is a simple answer. That is the board you play go on. For some pictures of gobans, as well as purchasing info so you can have your own, you should look at www.samarkand.net . For more info on gobans, I suggest looking at this site: , or www.gobase.org . But to keep it simple, that is just the board that you play on.
Second thing to clear up, shidougo. What is that? Its really simple, don't worry. That is just teaching go basically. You usually play this kind of go, against a weaker player then yourself. The object is not to win, but to show them the proper moves they should do. You test them, and purposely set up situations that you can review with them after the game. There is also usually a handicap.
After the game????
yeah I'm sure this is becoming an interesting thought in your head. After all, you can place your stone on one of 361 different spaces on the first turn, then 360, 359, etc. Plus, each go game is usually hundreds of moves. So you might wonder, how can I replay a game, that would take a mad amount of memory skill. Here is the answer in two parts:
1. I can't. But I'm not very good at go... The more you play though, the better understanding you will have for the board, and you'll be able to do it eventually.
2. Its a skill that comes over time, but you can practice it. While it would be hard to practice this skill, it can be done. But I suggest you just focus more on playing the game actually because it will come naturally. Like I always say, "spend time improving your faults, because your strengths will come naturally."
Well I think that about covers it for this chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. And remember, if you have any questions, I'll answer them! Just email them to me at benroshi@trigun.com or post it in your review!
