Saw a weiqi movie in Golden Village few days back.

Is not "THE GO MASTER" lar, thats outdated, haha.

Is call "Ju-On white ghost black ghost"

isnt that a good advertisement for weiqi? Maybe we can get someone to cosplay the ghost during mindsports festival and "she" will help us give out brochure. Good idea right?

Last week in bugis, i saw a dad teaching his son weiqi. They are beginner so they want to have a feel on a actual board. But the dad is holding the stone in a wrong way. Normally we hold the stone with our middle finger on top of our index finger. But he hold the stone with the index finger on top of middle finger.

I mean how do you even play comfortably in that posture? I saw a few players play that way too, deepest impression was jing wei (very long din see him le, studying i think). At first i was so amazed of how wrongly and ugly his posture was when putting a seed on the board, i was even worrying that he might fractured his fingers or have a huge cramp in his fingers but no, it din happen.

After a few months i could not resist but ask him how on earth can he hold a stone that way and doesnt he feel cramp after a game? And he reply he is used to it, haha.
