Whilst victory in chess comes from deploying one’s power better, dominating the centre of the board and exchanging weaker pieces for stronger ones, victory in weiqi comes from cultivating superior potential by connecting one’s stones to make the whole more than the sum of its parts.

This article is ridiculously up my alley. I’m only an amateur Go player, but I’ve always found that it’s really easy to draw useful life lessons from it, like the importance of failing as a stepping stone to improving, and the balance between practice and theory.

This is the first time I’ve seen someone draw some clear underlying philosophy out of it though, and it’s really useful for my current work (on risk assessment/management).
