There are some occasions when I burn some incense. As a long-time student of both cultures, I could provide a number of arguments to justify my personal choice, from the clearly obvious (and subjective) aesthetic argument to the fact that the simplicity and complexity of go is derived from a cultural matrix that is equally present in the far eastern music styles. Personally, I enjoy sipping tea while listening to Japanese and Chinese traditional music.
I found this answer quite amusing (in a good way), for my personal taste is quite different when it comes to playing go. Some like to listen to death metal while playing go. I've heard some people saying that their musical tastes (while playing go) vary according to the situation. In a game of Go, the player seeks to relax in order to read as far as possible and deliberate upon the best possible move: this is difficult to achieve when our mental states are in upheaval, for whatever reason. Non surprisingly, the question generates a number of different, sometimes peculiar answers. But, as of late, I've heard the following question being asked quite often: "What musical genre do you prefer while playing Go?". Whether it is a gentle, yet solid style, or a warlike, aggressive style, go offers the exciting possibility of attempting to discern our opponent's personality without exchanging a single word.īeing an abstract strategy game, which requires extraordinary concentration, it would be quite natural to assume that most people play Igo shrouded in silence and deep contemplation. Hence, each go player has a different playing style that suits his own personality and way of life. This is a constant of our condition as social and political animals. Different people have different personalities.
