3
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:35,202
[speaking in foreign language] If you look at the core
4
00:00:31,114 --> 00:00:35,202
of this tree,
5
00:00:36,161 --> 00:00:40,582
there are many lines emanating.
6
00:00:40,582 --> 00:00:45,337
You can only get it from a large tree.
7
00:00:45,337 --> 00:00:49,048
Each ring represents one year.
8
00:00:49,048 --> 00:00:55,014
From here to there, that's one hundred years.
9
00:00:55,014 --> 00:00:59,100
Do you see how slowly this tree grew?
10
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:04,940
Yet its life continues.
11
00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:07,026
That's why it is most fitting
12
00:01:07,026 --> 00:01:10,029
for a Go board tobe made from trees.
13
00:01:11,488 --> 00:01:17,285
The board is a windowto the human mind.
14
00:01:17,285 --> 00:01:20,455
Whether we want to or not
15
00:01:20,455 --> 00:01:24,585
it draws a picture of ourthoughts
16
00:01:24,585 --> 00:01:27,337
and reveals what is inside us
17
00:02:58,804 --> 00:03:01,015
[dance music plays]

[Computer] Nine,eight, seven, six,
19
00:03:07,855 --> 00:03:10,440
five, four, three, two, one.
20
00:03:12,776 --> 00:03:14,820
The game has started.
21
00:03:15,946 --> 00:03:17,447
The key is not to lose a game
22
00:03:17,447 --> 00:03:20,575
or otherwise the top pros probably won't play you.
23
00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:22,201
[Friend] I don't care about that.
24
00:03:22,201 --> 00:03:23,954
Who wants to play the top pros?
25
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:25,747
Who wants to get their asses kicked?
26
00:03:25,747 --> 00:03:27,041
Me.
27
00:03:27,041 --> 00:03:29,250
So Andy decided he was going to be insane,
28
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:30,878
more so than usual.
29
00:03:30,878 --> 00:03:33,630
He's going to try to win 40 games in a row
30
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:36,466
playing against other people online.
31
00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:39,053
He has 21 hours remaining.
32
00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:42,931
No, I need a four.
33
00:03:45,017 --> 00:03:47,268
[dinging]
34
00:03:47,268 --> 00:03:49,479
[Friend] So what number win is that?
35
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,899
It's two.
36
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:56,236
There are two ways you can get very good at this game.
37
00:03:56,236 --> 00:04:00,157
One, you study very hard and take lots of good lessons,
38
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:03,243
think hard, study, do your homework.
39
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:07,039
The other, you play maniacally
40
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:10,291
for days on end without stopping.
41
00:04:10,291 --> 00:04:14,504
[upbeat instrumental music]
42
00:04:18,092 --> 00:04:21,803
Every time I'd go tothe Go club in Flushing
43
00:04:21,803 --> 00:04:25,182
I'd always encounter Andy Liu.
44
00:04:25,182 --> 00:04:26,892
He was about 8 years old
45
00:04:26,892 --> 00:04:29,978
and had become very strong already.
46
00:04:29,978 --> 00:04:31,772
I would say he's a genius.
47
00:04:31,772 --> 00:04:34,399
He might have some mutation.
48
00:04:35,817 --> 00:04:39,238
[woman] I don't know how his social skills are
49
00:04:39,238 --> 00:04:41,281
but on the Go board he's obviously a monster.
50
00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:43,700
He has 18 wins, zero losses,
51
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,703
so he needs to win another 22 more without losing any
52
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:48,205
to make it on time.
53
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:50,290
[boy] Andy, he doesn't train.
54
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:54,169
He just plays 20games everyday online.
55
00:04:54,169 --> 00:04:56,255
But doing that, he's now the strongest player
56
00:04:56,255 --> 00:04:57,422
in North America I think.
57
00:04:57,422 --> 00:04:59,674
I think he's stronger than me now
58
00:04:59,674 --> 00:05:01,593
because of his weird style.
59
00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:03,804
You have five minutes.
60
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:05,973
It all comes down to this [laughs].
61
00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:11,186
Yes!
62
00:05:11,186 --> 00:05:14,273
[cheering]
63
00:05:14,273 --> 00:05:16,275
[Friend] There he goes, 60 bucks in the bag.
64
00:05:16,275 --> 00:05:18,777
I didn't think you were gonna make it.
65
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:23,364
I've never seen anyone play this much in my entire life.
66
00:05:23,364 --> 00:05:27,577
[upbeat instrumental music]
67
00:05:29,037 --> 00:05:32,624
[sirens wailing]
68
00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:36,586
[soft instrumental music]
69
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:03,362
[Ben] Once you reacha certain level,
70
00:06:03,362 --> 00:06:04,948
if you live inthe United States,
71
00:06:04,948 --> 00:06:08,327
you don't have anyoneto play in person.
72
00:06:08,327 --> 00:06:09,870
I mean there's a tinyhandful of people
73
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:11,663
who are reallyserious about it.
74
00:06:11,663 --> 00:06:13,748
And actually if the barfor being serious about it
75
00:06:13,748 --> 00:06:15,416
means going toAsia and training,
76
00:06:15,416 --> 00:06:17,336
then maybe I'm the only one.
77
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:25,886
If you win a gameyou feel great,
78
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:28,138
you think about staying inKorea, you know how great it
79
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:28,138
is,
80
00:06:28,138 --> 00:06:32,226
and when you lose you think about you know,
81
00:06:32,226 --> 00:06:35,229
going back to the US, going back home [laughs],
82
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:39,149
giving it all up, it's just highs, lows.
83
00:06:39,149 --> 00:06:41,442
All day, everyday for years.
84
00:06:45,197 --> 00:06:47,699
I've had these timeswhere it's like,
85
00:06:47,699 --> 00:06:51,828
I'm living my life with these tiny Asian boys and girls
86
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:55,665
and I'm just like [blubbering] where am I?
87
00:07:00,461 --> 00:07:05,592
I have no choice, giventhe things I care about,
88
00:07:05,592 --> 00:07:09,096
and given the speed atwhich I want to improve.
89
00:07:10,471 --> 00:07:13,516
Yeah, I don't havemuch of a choice.
90
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:17,520
[soft instrumental music]
91
00:07:21,649 --> 00:07:24,652
[sirens wailing]
92
00:07:28,156 --> 00:07:30,617
[humming]
93
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:33,370
Where did my wife put the filters?
94
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:37,040
So we got the coffees here, cake if anybody wants it.
95
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:39,167
Alright.
96
00:07:39,167 --> 00:07:41,295
In 1975, walking down 57th Street,
97
00:07:41,295 --> 00:07:44,965
I go by a little game store and I noticed
98
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:47,842
that there are two guys playing Go.
99
00:07:47,842 --> 00:07:49,677
I walk in, I say, hi, you're playing Go.
100
00:07:49,677 --> 00:07:52,472
And they said, "You know that this is Go?"
101
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,557
And I said, yeah sure.
102
00:07:54,557 --> 00:07:57,436
The rules of Go are very simple.
103
00:07:57,436 --> 00:07:59,396
It's played on a grid of lines.
104
00:08:01,231 --> 00:08:05,693
Two players take turns puttingstones on the intersections.
105
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:11,116
Once stones are played onthe board they don't move.
106
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:14,577
But stones can becaptured and removed
107
00:08:14,577 --> 00:08:17,831
if all the emptyintersections around them
108
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:19,707
are occupied by their opponent.
109
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:24,754
[soft instrumental music]
110
00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:33,388
The goal of the game isto surround territory
111
00:08:33,388 --> 00:08:35,556
with your stones.
112
00:08:35,556 --> 00:08:37,642
At the end of thegame, whoever controls
113
00:08:37,642 --> 00:08:39,811
more of the board wins.
114
00:08:41,562 --> 00:08:45,192
When you are playing Go, you're often kind of
115
00:08:45,192 --> 00:08:47,486
zoomed in to one corner of the board
116
00:08:47,486 --> 00:08:51,406
and you're thinking about what's gonna happen
117
00:08:51,406 --> 00:08:54,284
locally as a result of making this move.
118
00:08:54,284 --> 00:08:57,162
So I'm gonna go here andblack's gonna go here
119
00:08:57,162 --> 00:08:59,331
and then white goes hereand black goes there.
120
00:08:59,331 --> 00:09:01,458
Oh I see, what if I go hereand there and blah, blah, blah.
121
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:03,877
So you're really zoomedin and you're focused.
122
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:05,753
But the thing about Go is that
123
00:09:05,753 --> 00:09:09,674
that's happening all over the board at the same time right.
124
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:13,261
Those little situations are emerging here and here
125
00:09:13,261 --> 00:09:17,598
and here and each one of them is its own tactical puzzle.
126
00:09:17,598 --> 00:09:21,269
But they're allsubtly connected
127
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:26,024
because the outcome ofthis tactical situation
128
00:09:26,024 --> 00:09:29,652
is going to exert aninfluence on this one.
129
00:09:34,199 --> 00:09:36,617
You have these rules andthey're simple and in a way,
130
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:43,041
obvious, and yet they lead to this rich,
131
00:09:43,041 --> 00:09:49,047
ambiguous, complicated, subtle, hard to predict,
132
00:09:49,047 --> 00:09:51,550
and hard to understand set of possibilities.
133
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:56,096
Go is so complex and so open-ended
134
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:58,390
that it requires the intuitive and the aesthetic
135
00:09:58,390 --> 00:10:01,184
part of the brain as much as the analytical part
136
00:10:01,184 --> 00:10:06,273
so it rewards creativity and analysis simultaneously.
137
00:10:06,273 --> 00:10:10,485
And it's never boring, every game is different.
138
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:15,949
Go is by far the tougheststrategy game for computers.
139
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:18,785
In chess there'sabout 35 legal moves
140
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:20,703
on the board at any one time.
141
00:10:20,703 --> 00:10:24,874
[man] In Go there's over 200and so if you want the program
142
00:10:24,874 --> 00:10:28,169
to look four moves ahead, it has to look at 35
143
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:29,504
and then 35 for each of those,
144
00:10:29,504 --> 00:10:31,590
and 35 for each of those in chess.
145
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:35,385
In Go it's 200 times 200 times 200 times 200.
146
00:10:35,385 --> 00:10:38,096
There is no bruteforce search for Go
147
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:39,764
and there never will be.
148
00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:42,434
The only way to simplify that, to be able to manage it,
149
00:10:42,434 --> 00:10:44,561
is to have a feeling for the game
150
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:47,105
and that's the right brain side of the game.
151
00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:51,318
Where you go, hmm, I don't know but this feels right.
152
00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:54,821
Go is a game that really fits the human mind very well,
153
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:58,032
it fits with who we are, it fits with our ability
154
00:10:58,032 --> 00:11:00,660
to take a lot of disparate information
155
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,829
and make patterns out of it.
156
00:11:03,955 --> 00:11:07,959

[man speaking in foreign language] To become a
158
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:14,341
professional Go player
159
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:17,552
you must walk avery arduous path.
160
00:11:20,888 --> 00:11:25,768
You have to giveup regular school
161
00:11:25,768 --> 00:11:28,771
leave home whenyou're about ten years old
162
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:32,984
and train every dayfrom 8 AM to 10 PM.
163
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:40,908
They start at the age of five or six.
164
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:46,665
And then becomepro like 13, 14.
165
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:53,672
From our experience, the younger the better.
166
00:11:53,672 --> 00:11:56,799
[speaking in foreign language] As you can see these tables are
167
00:11:53,672 --> 00:11:56,799
arranged
168
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,927
so you are by yourself.
169
00:12:02,055 --> 00:12:04,307
I only could go back to my hometown
170
00:12:04,307 --> 00:12:06,601
like once a year or twice a year.
171
00:12:06,601 --> 00:12:10,397
And I remember like when I, every time when my parents
172
00:12:10,397 --> 00:12:14,150
called me I cried and I said oh I miss you
173
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:16,361
and I want to go back and my Dad always said,
174
00:12:16,361 --> 00:12:20,073
"If you want to fulfill your dream you have to stay there,
175
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:23,660
"you have to study, you have to work harder."

[soft instrumental music]
177
00:12:26,329 --> 00:12:29,499
Most of the people who wantto become professionals,
178
00:12:29,499 --> 00:12:33,545
they gave up the education because they don't have

most of the time, that's just the way it goes.
195

In the 50s and 60s, I rarely ran into another Go player.

If I met somebody who was Asian I asked

About the origin of Go, there is one story.

People who wanted to observe the universe
432
00:28:19,697 --> 00:28:24,453
would use a net to envelop the sky

a way to climbthe social ladder.

00:34:26,481 --> 00:34:29,108
[cheering]
535
00:34:33,572 --> 00:34:36,533
[paper rustling]
536
00:34:51,048 --> 00:34:53,717
So the main thing about the tournament is
537
00:34:53,717 --> 00:34:55,928
that we have a couple of constraints.
538
00:34:55,928 --> 00:34:58,638
One is we only have a week to do it in,
539
00:34:58,638 --> 00:35:01,934
but two, we need to be sure that we've selected
540
00:35:01,934 --> 00:35:03,393
the strongest people.
541
00:35:03,393 --> 00:35:05,896
So one of the best ways to do that
542
00:35:05,896 --> 00:35:08,523
is a double elimination tournament.
543
00:35:08,523 --> 00:35:11,401
So people come in, they start playing here,
544
00:35:11,401 --> 00:35:13,862
and as they win they go through this bracket,
545
00:35:13,862 --> 00:35:16,114
if you lose you drop through here,
546
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:18,992
and if you manage to beat everybody else,
547
00:35:18,992 --> 00:35:22,746
you can still manage to turn up as one of the pros.
548
00:35:22,746 --> 00:35:26,499
[soft instrumental music]
549
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:31,838
I need everybody to come up here and initial by it
550
00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:35,133
indicating that you agree to the rankings shown.
551
00:35:38,428 --> 00:35:41,556
[man] I really want to thank you all for coming here.
552
00:35:41,556 --> 00:35:45,143
When we decided to try this difficult experiment,
553
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:48,271
we put American Go on a new heading
554
00:35:48,271 --> 00:35:54,694
and we don't know exactly where it's going to wind up.
555
00:35:54,694 --> 00:35:56,154
We're trying to make an American Go community
556
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:59,449
where when someone decides to put as much time
557
00:35:59,449 --> 00:36:02,577
and as much effort and as much passion into the game
558
00:36:02,577 --> 00:36:05,705
as you guys have, they can go as far
559
00:36:05,705 --> 00:36:08,458
as hard work and talent will take them.
560
00:36:08,458 --> 00:36:12,796
[audience applauding]
561
00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:15,632
Alright, it's the official start.
562
00:36:18,051 --> 00:36:21,805
[soft instrumental music]
563
00:38:20,590 --> 00:38:22,592
How did I manage to lose that game?
564
00:38:22,592 --> 00:38:24,052
Unbelievable.
565
00:38:27,931 --> 00:38:31,476
So you lost, Dillon lost, Ben lost.
566
00:38:31,476 --> 00:38:35,272
He threw it away, you got your ass kicked.
567
00:38:35,272 --> 00:38:37,816
I am so fucking pissed right now.
568
00:38:38,984 --> 00:38:40,944
[sighing]
569
00:38:40,944 --> 00:38:43,989
I know, but I really threw it,
570
00:38:45,157 --> 00:38:48,034
really whooping his ass all game.
571
00:38:48,034 --> 00:38:49,953
I thought I was like, I had the entire game,
572
00:38:49,953 --> 00:38:53,623
like I thought I was just controlling the entire game
573
00:38:53,623 --> 00:38:56,209
and eventually I end up losing that much.
574
00:38:56,209 --> 00:38:57,627
How much?
575
00:38:58,920 --> 00:38:59,921
7.5.
576
00:38:59,921 --> 00:39:01,464
[Ben] Shit.
577
00:39:01,464 --> 00:39:06,052
Dude, that was biggest upset in Go history I think.
578
00:39:06,052 --> 00:39:10,265
[Andy] You're arrogant, you both are arrogant.
579
00:39:12,725 --> 00:39:15,561
This game was way too huge.
580
00:39:15,561 --> 00:39:17,022
You can't lose the first game dude.
581
00:39:17,022 --> 00:39:18,898
[Ben] Dude, you really can't.
582
00:39:21,234 --> 00:39:24,445
[man] One of the striking thingsis time just disappears.
583
00:39:24,445 --> 00:39:25,864
You're so absorbed in the game
584
00:39:25,864 --> 00:39:27,866
and it's just the most refreshing thing.
585
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:31,036
Instead of having all this clutter in your head
586
00:39:31,036 --> 00:39:32,954
and worry about things you're just absorbed
587
00:39:32,954 --> 00:39:35,248
in this ideal world of the Go board.
588
00:39:35,248 --> 00:39:38,126
But it's a long process and somewhere in the middle
589
00:39:38,126 --> 00:39:44,423
of the game one has to encounter,
590
00:39:44,423 --> 00:39:46,384
or one comes to terms with one's own imperfections,
591
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:50,222
a certain kind of impatience or fear or greed
592
00:39:50,222 --> 00:39:53,725
and it's like some of the beautiful elements of the Go
593
00:39:53,725 --> 00:39:57,395
suddenly become clouded with all these other emotions.
594
00:39:57,395 --> 00:40:00,106
[laughing]
595
00:40:01,900 --> 00:40:06,779
[Frank] At the heart of Go is aconcept called emergence.
596
00:40:06,779 --> 00:40:09,407
How do you go from something that's obvious
597
00:40:09,407 --> 00:40:11,993
to something that's non-obvious right?
598
00:40:11,993 --> 00:40:14,037
How do you go from something that's simple
599
00:40:14,037 --> 00:40:17,082
to something that's complex.
600
00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:20,252
So stone's empty neighborsare called its liberties
601
00:40:20,252 --> 00:40:22,962
and I can capture agroup by filling in
602
00:40:22,962 --> 00:40:25,173
all of its liberties.
603
00:40:25,173 --> 00:40:26,799
When there's one liberty left,
604
00:40:26,799 --> 00:40:30,053
we say that thatgroup is in atari.
605
00:40:30,053 --> 00:40:34,724
Then with one more moveI can capture that group.
606
00:40:34,724 --> 00:40:36,768
Now this group isharder to capture
607
00:40:36,768 --> 00:40:39,104
'cause if I try to put awhite stone in the middle,
608
00:40:39,104 --> 00:40:41,898
it actually gets capturedfirst.
609
00:40:41,898 --> 00:40:45,818
So instead I have tosurround the outside first
610
00:40:45,818 --> 00:40:47,528
putting black in atari.
611
00:40:47,528 --> 00:40:51,991
Only then can I play in themiddle and capture them.
612
00:40:51,991 --> 00:40:54,327
Now, what about this group?
613
00:40:54,327 --> 00:40:56,746
Even after Isurround the outside,
614
00:40:56,746 --> 00:41:00,583
wherever white plays next,white would be captured first.
615
00:41:02,835 --> 00:41:05,797
So actually, blackcan never be captured
616
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:08,507
because it has thesetwo internal liberties
617
00:41:08,507 --> 00:41:11,136
which we call eyes.
618
00:41:11,136 --> 00:41:15,723
And any group with twoeyes can never be captured.
619
00:41:15,723 --> 00:41:19,311
A fundamental strategic conceptin Go is to make two eyes
620
00:41:19,311 --> 00:41:21,604
when your groupscome under attack.
621
00:41:24,774 --> 00:41:26,651
Now there's no rulein Go that says
622
00:41:26,651 --> 00:41:28,736
you can't capture agroup with two eyes.
623
00:41:28,736 --> 00:41:32,865
It just follows necessarilyfrom the existing rules,
624
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:34,951
and this is a verysimple example
625
00:41:34,951 --> 00:41:37,495
of what we mean by emergence.
626
00:41:40,832 --> 00:41:44,419
So there are lots of examplesof this in the world.
627
00:41:47,088 --> 00:41:50,133
How do we get fromatoms interacting
628
00:41:50,133 --> 00:41:54,429
according to the rulesof physics, to thinking?
629
00:41:56,764 --> 00:41:59,851
How do we get fromthe material stuff
630
00:41:59,851 --> 00:42:02,228
of the gray matterinside your head
631
00:42:02,228 --> 00:42:06,565
to the sensation of beingalive, to consciousness?
632
00:42:08,193 --> 00:42:09,694
And it's hard to seehow it's even possible
633
00:42:09,694 --> 00:42:11,863
that they could arisefrom the operation
634
00:42:11,863 --> 00:42:14,449
of simple, deterministic rules.
635
00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:23,041
And yet, here's Go to show us that it's all of a piece.
636
00:42:23,041 --> 00:42:26,419
That those things can exist, that the mysterious
637
00:42:26,419 --> 00:42:31,174
and the obvious can exist in the same square.
638
00:42:32,633 --> 00:42:35,345
So I'm playing against Justin Tang, nice key name.
639
00:42:35,345 --> 00:42:37,722
Nice, who's?
640
00:42:39,182 --> 00:42:40,517
Dude, I'm gonna be playing Matthew Burrall.
641
00:42:40,517 --> 00:42:41,976
Which means they're gonna be covering me
642
00:42:41,976 --> 00:42:47,440
in an unofficial white man championship.
643
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,817
[man] I think he's the strongest white guy in America.
644
00:42:49,817 --> 00:42:51,277
But that's not saying anything.
645
00:42:51,277 --> 00:42:53,029
We'll bet on that game.
646
00:42:53,029 --> 00:42:54,447
I'll bet on Matthew.
647
00:42:55,948 --> 00:42:59,327
[suspenseful music]
648
00:43:42,287 --> 00:43:45,706
[speaking Chinese] We create these things
649
00:43:45,706 --> 00:43:51,045
because we've seen the treasure concealed in Go.
650
00:43:55,633 --> 00:44:00,888
This wood is in the process of drying.
651
00:44:02,890 --> 00:44:04,350
They have to dry in the shade
652
00:44:04,350 --> 00:44:07,520
for up to ten years
653
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,523
because they're quite thick.
654
00:44:10,523 --> 00:44:15,153
This is my second older brother.
655
00:44:16,070 --> 00:44:17,405
He's the craftsman.
656
00:44:17,405 --> 00:44:19,782
Forty-nine years!
657
00:44:19,782 --> 00:44:24,120
I've been making Go boards since I was 13 years old.
658
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,705
First I put this on the board.
659
00:44:26,705 --> 00:44:30,168
And then with a drafting machine.
660
00:44:30,168 --> 00:44:33,546
Up and down, up and down.
661
00:44:33,546 --> 00:44:36,549
I draw all these lines by hand.
662
00:44:36,549 --> 00:44:43,931
[in English] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
663
00:44:36,549 --> 00:44:43,931
nine.
664
00:44:43,931 --> 00:44:48,353
[in Chinese] These are shells for making stones.
665
00:44:52,106 --> 00:44:57,111
A clam has to die and be submerged underwater
666
00:44:57,111 --> 00:45:00,114
for decades before you can get this.
667
00:45:02,992 --> 00:45:06,745
This board is made of Gingko tree.
668
00:45:06,745 --> 00:45:11,209
The tree is 500 years old.
669
00:45:12,793 --> 00:45:16,130
Everything is made with purpose.
670
00:45:19,842 --> 00:45:24,972
The baby turtles hold the stones.
671
00:45:27,850 --> 00:45:31,979
Why do we make the boardout of trees?
672
00:45:31,979 --> 00:45:35,441
We use wood becauseit represents the Earth
673
00:45:35,441 --> 00:45:40,613
to express what happensin this world on the board.
674
00:45:42,114 --> 00:45:45,826
As we protect our territory
675
00:45:45,826 --> 00:45:48,246
we build upon what came before.
676
00:45:48,246 --> 00:45:51,123
We position ourselvesmore firmly
677
00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:55,878
on the path we have chosen.
678
00:46:18,651 --> 00:46:21,320
Yeah, he just made a call in Calvin's corner
679
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:26,284
so Calvin's still struggling but he's probably done.
680
00:46:29,746 --> 00:46:31,330
I kind of wanted to go further
681
00:46:31,330 --> 00:46:34,875
but I mean these people are too strong.
682
00:46:38,713 --> 00:46:41,132
[Computer] 60 seconds.
683
00:46:46,304 --> 00:46:48,306
You have 60 seconds.
684
00:46:53,269 --> 00:46:57,356
That is one whitey down.
685
00:46:57,356 --> 00:46:59,484
[Friend] Last place standing.
686
00:46:59,484 --> 00:47:01,319
The White Castle is helping.
687
00:47:01,319 --> 00:47:06,574
I'm just happy that I don't, I'm not fuckin' out.
688
00:47:06,574 --> 00:47:08,117
[sighing]
689
00:47:08,117 --> 00:47:10,369
You can see the competition sparking among them,
690
00:47:10,369 --> 00:47:14,957
and you can see how the games seem to be inspiring them
691
00:47:14,957 --> 00:47:17,251
and driving them that much further.
692
00:47:17,251 --> 00:47:19,836
And that's everything you can hope for
693
00:47:19,836 --> 00:47:23,675
and so right now it's been a dream.
694
00:47:23,675 --> 00:47:27,637
In America, yeah it might be very difficult
695
00:47:29,263 --> 00:47:32,891
to push a kid to study more than 10 hours,
696
00:47:32,891 --> 00:47:37,480
they don't study that much, not like Asia,
697
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,609
but still I think it's possible to be
698
00:47:41,609 --> 00:47:44,362
a very good professional.
699
00:47:44,362 --> 00:47:46,364
There are always pros and cons,
700
00:47:46,364 --> 00:47:47,740
if you want to gain something
701
00:47:47,740 --> 00:47:49,826
you have to sacrifice the other one.
702
00:47:49,826 --> 00:47:53,830
[soft instrumental music]
703
00:47:58,250 --> 00:48:02,004
[Ben] I grew up doing littlemath puzzles and games.
704
00:48:02,004 --> 00:48:03,840
I was thinking you take me, I take you,
705
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,510
then that, I would go there or there.
706
00:48:07,510 --> 00:48:08,845
I guess.
707
00:48:10,429 --> 00:48:15,226
From the ages of nine to 15, Go is just the thing
708
00:48:15,226 --> 00:48:20,314
I was always by far the best at and most talented at.
709
00:48:20,314 --> 00:48:22,316
There was this timewhere it's like, I'm 16,
710
00:48:22,316 --> 00:48:27,613
I spend my time studyingGo, walking in the park.
711
00:48:27,613 --> 00:48:32,660
But my priority was always just getting outside of school
712
00:48:32,660 --> 00:48:36,080
and outside of having to be somewhere.
713
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,624
Andy and I would juststay there all night
714
00:48:38,624 --> 00:48:42,420
playing online or against eachother for six or seven hours
715
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:46,758
and get fast food or whateverfood was open at 4:00 AM.
716
00:48:46,758 --> 00:48:50,553
You know, both skip schoolthe next day [laughs].
717
00:48:50,553 --> 00:48:52,929
You develop too much of a relationship with something
718
00:48:52,929 --> 00:48:56,392
and then especially if you don't suck at it,
719
00:48:56,392 --> 00:48:58,811
it becomes impossible to pull away.
720
00:48:58,811 --> 00:49:02,732
[soft instrumental music]
721
00:49:46,818 --> 00:49:48,360
[Zhou Gang in Chinese] There's a saying in China:
722
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,490
one wrong move and the worldcrumbles.
723
00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:55,159
The first time Japan senta Go delegation to China
724
00:49:55,159 --> 00:49:57,954
was in 1960.
725
00:49:57,954 --> 00:50:00,873
But they had no chance against the Japanese players.
726
00:50:00,873 --> 00:50:03,835
They were way behind.
727
00:50:03,835 --> 00:50:06,170
[man in English] For a long time, China was trying to catch
728
00:50:03,835 --> 00:50:06,170
up
729
00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:10,925
with Japan and Korea too, and eventually they did.
730
00:50:12,593 --> 00:50:16,096
And for historical reasons, in China and especially Korea,
731
00:50:16,096 --> 00:50:19,183
beating Japan is very big.
732
00:50:19,183 --> 00:50:21,435
[Zhou Gang in Chinese] In the 1960s we entered the New
733
00:50:19,183 --> 00:50:21,435
China era.
734
00:50:21,435 --> 00:50:23,521
After the founding of thePeople's Republic of China
735
00:50:23,521 --> 00:50:27,232
came the greatest development of Go
736
00:50:27,232 --> 00:50:32,363
because the government gave it unprecedented importance.
737
00:50:32,363 --> 00:50:34,824
[man in English] They startedproducing some strong players.
738
00:50:34,824 --> 00:50:38,536
In the 1970s Chinahad Nie Weiping
739
00:50:38,536 --> 00:50:40,955
and he could beat most of the Japanese pros
740
00:50:40,955 --> 00:50:43,958
and he did it repeatedly and this of course,
741
00:50:43,958 --> 00:50:46,627
caused a sensation in China.
742
00:50:46,627 --> 00:50:49,630
[in Chinese] My happiest memory was the
743
00:50:46,627 --> 00:50:49,630
China-Japan Super Go tournament.
744
00:50:49,630 --> 00:50:54,050
which I won three times in a row. It was miraculous!
745
00:50:54,050 --> 00:50:58,180
And afterwards I got a call from Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping
746
00:50:58,180 --> 00:51:00,016
congratulating me.
747
00:51:00,016 --> 00:51:02,100
[man in English] As for Korea,one of their strongest players
748
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:06,397
was Cho Hunhyun who madepro at the age of nine.
749
00:51:06,397 --> 00:51:08,733
Then when they startedplaying international games
750
00:51:08,733 --> 00:51:12,277
professionally, hewon the first Ing Cup.
751
00:51:12,277 --> 00:51:16,490
[speaking Chinese]
752
00:51:21,829 --> 00:51:24,790
[in Korean] After winning the match...
753
00:51:24,790 --> 00:51:27,251
...they told me to get in a convertible
754
00:51:27,251 --> 00:51:31,630
Since I was the winner I had to get in.
755
00:51:31,630 --> 00:51:35,009
And we were riding ina parade from Gimpo airport.
756
00:51:35,009 --> 00:51:40,347
before I even knew what was happening.
757
00:51:40,347 --> 00:51:44,100
[Nie Weiping in Chinese] After Cho Hunhyun won
758
00:51:40,347 --> 00:51:44,100
the Ing Cup
759
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:47,897
the media began coveringthe game extensively.
760
00:51:47,897 --> 00:51:50,983
[speaking Chinese]
761
00:51:50,983 --> 00:51:55,279
The attitude towards Go was changing totally.
762
00:51:56,864 --> 00:52:00,242
We became thinking likeGo is not a philosophy
763
00:52:00,242 --> 00:52:03,119
but a game or a sport.
764
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:05,957
[man speaking Chinese] The starting age became lower
765
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:05,957
and lower.
766
00:52:05,957 --> 00:52:08,084
These days we start
767
00:52:08,084 --> 00:52:10,878
as young as kindergarten.
768
00:52:12,504 --> 00:52:16,258
[woman in English] If you becomepro at the age of 13,
769
00:52:16,258 --> 00:52:18,052
then you can have a good chance
770
00:52:18,052 --> 00:52:20,554
to become World's Best Player,
771
00:52:20,554 --> 00:52:26,018
but if you are already 15you won't have any chance.
772
00:52:26,018 --> 00:52:29,396
At that time it was not considered as late
773
00:52:29,396 --> 00:52:33,567
but these days, too late.
774
00:52:35,736 --> 00:52:38,990
[Woman in Chinese] When I was learning we
775
00:52:35,736 --> 00:52:38,990
studied the Japanese style.
776
00:52:38,990 --> 00:52:42,158
which focused on being aesthetically pleasing.
777
00:52:43,577 --> 00:52:46,914
Today it's impossible to win with that style.
778
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:56,548
Because now winning iseverything.
779
00:53:00,218 --> 00:53:04,180
[soft instrumental music]
780
00:53:12,857 --> 00:53:14,900
I won.
781
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,070
Ben is black.
782
00:53:18,070 --> 00:53:20,572
[Curtis] Black doesn't witness too many liberties.
783
00:53:20,572 --> 00:53:22,867
There's seven, yeah there's one, yeah.
784
00:53:22,867 --> 00:53:24,702
Black I don't think.
785
00:53:25,619 --> 00:53:29,498
[soft instrumental music]
786
00:53:43,219 --> 00:53:47,265
Oh my goodness dude, like he's not clutch.
787
00:53:47,265 --> 00:53:48,976
What do you mean, he died?
788
00:53:48,976 --> 00:53:51,103
I said Ben is not clutch.
789
00:53:51,103 --> 00:53:53,229
Ben's gonna be pretty mad.
790
00:53:53,229 --> 00:53:55,357
He's gonna be so pissed.
791
00:53:58,861 --> 00:54:00,278
So, he resigned?
792
00:54:00,278 --> 00:54:02,364
He resigned.
793
00:54:04,533 --> 00:54:06,451
It went so fast.
794
00:54:28,057 --> 00:54:32,019
[speaking Chinese] Threw it away.
795
00:54:32,019 --> 00:54:34,563
No, I don't think you're bad. I just think that.
796
00:54:34,563 --> 00:54:37,691
Why did you connect? You wanted to kill more?
797
00:54:37,691 --> 00:54:40,736
I dunno. I hallucinated.
798
00:54:40,736 --> 00:54:43,614
I thought either way I lived.
799
00:54:43,614 --> 00:54:44,990
But why is Andy, wait. [Ben] Of course Andy's.
800
00:54:46,366 --> 00:54:47,576
[Curtis] Dude, no why do you play so fast?
801
00:54:47,576 --> 00:54:49,078
You have so much time left.
802
00:54:49,078 --> 00:54:51,622
When he went down why don't you take 30 minutes
803
00:54:51,622 --> 00:54:55,417
and figure out almost all the variations?
804
00:54:56,334 --> 00:54:57,628
Sloppy dude.
805
00:54:59,213 --> 00:55:00,839
I got sloppy.
806
00:55:02,758 --> 00:55:06,511
[soft instrumental music]
807
00:55:09,181 --> 00:55:10,808
I won.
808
00:55:20,692 --> 00:55:22,569
Andy won?
809
00:55:31,912 --> 00:55:35,291
I spent several hours in front of the Go board
810
00:55:35,291 --> 00:55:38,169
everyday for the past two years.
811
00:55:41,297 --> 00:55:45,676
I mean the first time I didn't sit in front of a Go board
812
00:55:45,676 --> 00:55:50,931
for 24 hours was my plane ride
813
00:55:50,931 --> 00:55:55,186
back from Korea a week and a half ago.
814
00:55:55,186 --> 00:55:56,270
And then the first thing I did when I landed
815
00:55:56,270 --> 00:55:58,939
in New York was go upstairs.
816
00:55:58,939 --> 00:56:00,858
I've never, I mean it's the only thing
817
00:56:00,858 --> 00:56:05,196
where I've ever just given 100% you know.

[sighing]
821
00:56:25,590 --> 00:56:29,094
My ideas about life all, the only consistent pattern
822
00:56:29,094 --> 00:56:30,888
is that the way you should spend your life
823
00:56:30,888 --> 00:56:32,848
is by playing around with your brain.
824
00:56:32,848 --> 00:56:34,390
What else are you gonna do?
825
00:56:34,390 --> 00:56:38,312
You gonna run around like try to get super rich
826
00:56:38,312 --> 00:56:42,983
and just kind of engage in all sorts of [sighs]
827
00:56:42,983 --> 00:56:47,112
like carnal pleasures and that's what
828
00:56:47,112 --> 00:56:50,406
you're gonna spend your life trying to do?
829
00:56:50,406 --> 00:56:54,161
I don't even know if that's, well that's pretty gross to me.
830
00:56:54,161 --> 00:56:56,412
I'm just saying it's not easy to feel,
831
00:56:56,412 --> 00:57:01,710
it's not easy for me to feel okay with things in this world.

-[thunder rumbling] -[water splashing]

835
00:57:13,138 --> 00:57:15,057
dealing with the real world.
836
00:57:27,611 --> 00:57:30,281
He won.

[muttering]
838
00:57:49,216 --> 00:57:53,678
On a scale of one to 10 right now, I'm like 7.5 pissed.
839
00:57:55,180 --> 00:57:57,849
Dude, I think I should quit Go with you.
840
00:57:57,849 --> 00:58:00,685
Like before I thought I stood a chance to beat Andy,
841
00:58:00,685 --> 00:58:03,814
right now I can't even beat them.
842
00:58:05,649 --> 00:58:08,110
I was lucky that game. I did not play well.
843
00:58:09,027 --> 00:58:10,654
I did not play well.
844
00:58:13,490 --> 00:58:16,285
[Curtis] I just want Andy to lose a game.
845
00:58:16,285 --> 00:58:17,535
[Ben] That can't happen.
846
00:58:17,535 --> 00:58:19,413
Andy can't lose unless he wants to.
847
00:58:19,413 --> 00:58:21,915
Dude no, that's definitely not true.
848

852
00:58:32,301 --> 00:58:34,136
[Curtis] If you beat Andy two to zero,
853
00:58:34,136 --> 00:58:35,846
I'll finally admit.

[soft instrumental music]
855
00:58:38,474 --> 00:58:40,184
I'm gonna be in the finals playing Andy Liu
856
00:58:40,184 --> 00:58:43,395
and you know, he's a strong opponent.
857
00:58:43,395 --> 00:58:49,526
I just think he has a different mindset
858
00:58:49,526 --> 00:58:51,528
and he doesn't play the normal moves
859
00:58:51,528 --> 00:58:54,823
and I think I just gotta play solid with him,
860
00:58:54,823 --> 00:58:56,450
you know not make too many mistakes
861
00:58:56,450 --> 00:58:58,910

[dramatic instrumental music]
865
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:22,684
I'm sort of like a perfectionist so I think
866
00:59:22,684 --> 00:59:26,480
our brainpower is not nearly enough.
867
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,400
I mean multiply our brainpower by a million
868
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,361
and our imaginations will still not be rich enough.
869
00:59:36,323 --> 00:59:40,118
Take every possibleconfiguration of
870
00:59:36,323 --> 00:59:40,118
matter in the universe,
871
00:59:40,118 --> 00:59:42,579
arrange the universe intoall possible configurations
872
00:59:42,579 --> 00:59:45,957
and you can come up with somepretty intelligent beings.
873
00:59:48,835 --> 00:59:51,880
Hyperintelligent beingswho just look at the world
874
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,091
and then the abilityto predict everything
875
00:59:54,091 --> 00:59:55,759
that will happen afterwards.
876
00:59:59,804 --> 01:00:02,974
My lifetime goal wouldjust be to be reincarnated

01:00:02,974 --> 01:00:06,353
in a far higher being.
878

Imagine an intelligent beingthat does not have an ego.
879
01:00:11,066 --> 01:00:13,485
It won't have emotions,all it would be able to do
880
01:00:13,485 --> 01:00:17,114
is just performendless calculation.
881
01:00:18,449 --> 01:00:22,660

We've known each other for 12 years
888
01:02:36,378 --> 01:02:38,422
and we've been like rivals, like you know
889
01:02:38,422 --> 01:02:40,549
he went back to China sometimes to learn Go.
890
01:02:40,549 --> 01:02:43,594
I went back to China and we just kept on doing that.
891
01:02:43,594 --> 01:02:45,136
Andy doesn't care about the prize money.
892
01:02:45,136 --> 01:02:48,806
Andy cares about his theories and his thoughts
893
01:02:48,806 --> 01:02:50,434
and that's like me too.
894
01:02:50,434 --> 01:02:52,102
[laughing]
895
01:02:52,102 --> 01:02:53,811
The more I think about it, he's just not a normal person.
896
01:02:53,811 --> 01:02:55,230
[Ben] No, you need to be like that dude.
897
01:02:55,230 --> 01:02:56,523
To be good at Go.
898
01:02:56,523 --> 01:02:59,568
Study the game and be a normal person.
899
01:02:59,568 --> 01:03:00,944
I'm actually, I think I'm quite normal.
900
01:03:00,944 --> 01:03:02,362
You know who's just a normal like--
901
01:03:02,362 --> 01:03:03,947
Do you think I'm normal?
902
01:03:03,947 --> 01:03:07,576
Gansheng's pretty normal, he tries to hit on girls,
903
01:03:07,576 --> 01:03:11,162
he likes girls whereas Andy, Andy you know what,
904
01:03:11,162 --> 01:03:12,456
I don't think Andy likes girls.
905
01:03:12,456 --> 01:03:15,667
I think he, maybe he does, I don't know.
906
01:03:15,667 --> 01:03:18,754
When you really ask him he's like "No, I don't care."
907
01:03:18,754 --> 01:03:20,756
But Gansheng and I, we're clearly
908
01:03:20,756 --> 01:03:23,133
like almost exactly the same.
909
01:03:23,133 --> 01:03:24,509
We do a lot of shit the same.
910
01:03:24,509 --> 01:03:27,554
Our thoughts are the same like play Go,
911
01:03:27,554 --> 01:03:31,600
try our best, if we can't we lose, we go back to college,
912
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,518
you know have some fun with some girls,
913
01:03:33,518 --> 01:03:36,647
and then you know study, get a degree,
914
01:03:36,647 --> 01:03:38,440
and then you know start working, have a good life.
915
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,192
That's our thought but I don't know about Ben
916
01:03:41,192 --> 01:03:44,446
but Andy's thoughts doesn't, it's all messed up,
917
01:03:44,446 --> 01:03:46,197
he doesn't know what he wants.
918
01:04:04,966 --> 01:04:07,427
[man] Andy has managedto go undefeated
919
01:04:07,427 --> 01:04:09,805
in all of his games all the way through.
920
01:04:09,805 --> 01:04:13,600
And so he is in the final, best out of three,
921
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,479
and he is up one game so if he is to win this game
922
01:04:17,479 --> 01:04:21,149
then he would be our first certified professional.
923
01:04:23,694 --> 01:04:26,780
One minute to settle down and find your places.
924
01:04:26,780 --> 01:04:28,699
One minute please.
925
01:04:28,699 --> 01:04:31,284
[Gansheng] How much time did you use?
926
01:04:31,284 --> 01:04:33,411
-Fifty. -Oh shit.
927
01:04:33,411 --> 01:04:36,873
I made Andy use more than 30 minutes.
928
01:04:38,041 --> 01:04:42,045
[soft instrumental music]
929
01:05:09,489 --> 01:05:15,495
I think Gansheng Shi played much better this game.
930
01:05:17,997 --> 01:05:20,291
Andy, on the other hand
931
01:05:20,291 --> 01:05:22,669
played fast in the beginning
932
01:05:22,669 --> 01:05:26,172
so he made a few mistakes.
933
01:05:26,172 --> 01:05:29,384
Maybe he was too confident?
934
01:05:30,719 --> 01:05:32,220
It looks certainly like he's confident
935
01:05:32,220 --> 01:05:35,724
about what he's doing, he's playing so fast.
936
01:05:35,724 --> 01:05:38,643
This thing in the lower left corner blew my mind.
937
01:05:38,643 --> 01:05:45,149
He's just putting stones in everywhere.
938
01:05:45,149 --> 01:05:47,694
Isn't it Andy's normal MO though to just play fast
939
01:05:47,694 --> 01:05:49,696
and super confidently?
940
01:05:49,696 --> 01:05:53,700
[soft instrumental music]
941
01:06:42,707 --> 01:06:47,211
[man speaking Chinese] The last thing I was able to
942
01:06:42,707 --> 01:06:47,211
see was Go.
943
01:06:48,463 --> 01:06:52,843
So Go is my last memory and final image.
944
01:07:04,771 --> 01:07:10,401
Not being able to see has made me concentrate more
945
01:07:11,319 --> 01:07:14,906
and read more thoroughly.
946
01:07:14,906 --> 01:07:18,910
[soft instrumental music]
947
01:07:36,761 --> 01:07:38,889
[man speaking Chinese] The game is endless.
948
01:07:40,264 --> 01:07:44,268
I don't think human beings can ever master it.
949
01:07:50,901 --> 01:07:54,654
[soft instrumental music]
950
01:07:56,155 --> 01:07:58,533
Andy appears to be irritated,
951
01:07:58,533 --> 01:08:03,830
he appears to have not foreseen what has begun to happen.
952
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:06,708
[Curtis] If he connects those two stones.
953
01:08:06,708 --> 01:08:07,918
-You're talkin' about here at Q12?
954
01:08:06,708 --> 01:08:07,918
-[Curtis] Yeah.
955
01:08:07,918 --> 01:08:09,293
Then that would be one big eye
956
01:08:09,293 --> 01:08:11,504
and why he would need to find another eye.
957
01:08:11,504 --> 01:08:15,675
I actually beat Andy in New Jersey Open
958
01:08:15,675 --> 01:08:19,596
when he was four down so I actually have a win against him
959
01:08:19,596 --> 01:08:22,139
so it will be kind of cool if he becomes the first pro.
960
01:08:22,139 --> 01:08:26,436
Then I can say, well I'm one and oh against him myself.
961
01:08:26,436 --> 01:08:29,313
[laughing]
962
01:08:29,313 --> 01:08:31,315
He was very young [laughs].
963
01:08:31,315 --> 01:08:35,319
[soft instrumental music]
964
01:08:50,209 --> 01:08:51,836
[Friend] Is that group in a tie?
965
01:08:51,836 --> 01:08:55,381
Is that group, yeah, I mean I think he's.
966
01:08:55,381 --> 01:08:59,385
[soft instrumental music]
967
01:09:06,476 --> 01:09:07,852
Good game.
968
01:09:09,896 --> 01:09:11,731
It's over, he resigned! It's over.
969
01:09:11,731 --> 01:09:13,108
Andy resigned.
970
01:09:14,233 --> 01:09:16,402
He's dead?
971
01:09:16,402 --> 01:09:19,030
He's dead, it's a false eye.
972
01:09:20,156 --> 01:09:24,368
Ooh, those guys got cut off.
973
01:09:24,368 --> 01:09:25,954
Those guys are dead.
974
01:09:25,954 --> 01:09:29,082
He was late, he had a chance to connect.
975
01:09:29,082 --> 01:09:34,545
Yup, yeah those guys were always a target.
976
01:09:42,637 --> 01:09:47,934
Well it's, I would say 50-50 now right?
977
01:09:47,934 --> 01:09:50,603
Whichever one takes the next game is the first pro.
978
01:09:53,397 --> 01:09:56,275
-Andy, what happened? -I dunno.
979
01:10:02,824 --> 01:10:04,993
You're so territorial.
980
01:10:04,993 --> 01:10:07,537
Like territorial.
981
01:10:17,421 --> 01:10:19,924
Yes, yes!
982
01:10:19,924 --> 01:10:23,720
See, I told you, Andy's not that much stronger than us.
983
01:10:24,637 --> 01:10:26,931
[laughing]
984
01:10:26,931 --> 01:10:28,641
Let's go.
985
01:10:33,104 --> 01:10:36,858
[soft instrumental music]
986
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,159
[Andy] The average humanlifespan is a bit short,
987
01:10:46,159 --> 01:10:50,205
I would prefer to be living for like maybe 3,000 years or so
988
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,751
like that would be enough to learn a lot of things
989
01:10:54,751 --> 01:10:56,544
that I would want to learn.
990
01:10:58,671 --> 01:11:02,842
I would prefer not to putmyself in the thick of things
991
01:11:02,842 --> 01:11:06,554
but just watch our evolution from or like,
992
01:11:10,391 --> 01:11:13,269
ideally I would like to beblessed with a prodigious
993
01:11:13,269 --> 01:11:16,689
imagination and just createmy own worlds in my mind.
994
01:11:19,150 --> 01:11:21,402
You would be the ruler ofyour own imaginary universe
995
01:11:21,402 --> 01:11:26,991
without actually subjectingother people to your whims.
996
01:11:28,826 --> 01:11:30,536
As long as you don'tfeel stupid just living
997
01:11:30,536 --> 01:11:33,456
in your own imaginaryworld it's pretty enticing.
998
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:43,925
[man speaking Chinese] The game is so difficult
999
01:11:45,260 --> 01:11:50,265
only part of it has beenconquered.
1000
01:11:50,265 --> 01:11:53,101
When I sit in front of the board
1001
01:11:55,311 --> 01:11:56,980
I fall completely into the game.
1002
01:11:56,980 --> 01:12:00,608
When I am lost in my passion
1003
01:12:00,608 --> 01:12:02,777
I have endless dreams...
1004
01:12:04,821 --> 01:12:09,909
dreams of unbelievable moves
1005
01:12:09,909 --> 01:12:16,499
that never occurredto me before.
1006
01:12:18,626 --> 01:12:21,545
But once I reacheda certain level
1007
01:12:21,545 --> 01:12:23,380
the more I played
1008
01:12:23,380 --> 01:12:27,093
the more I felt its difficulty.
1009
01:12:27,093 --> 01:12:30,263
Even the best players in history
1010
01:12:30,263 --> 01:12:33,308
their level is low
1011
01:12:33,308 --> 01:12:35,768
in light of the game's sheer complexity.
1012
01:12:38,604 --> 01:12:43,442
[woman in Chinese] Many of thefamous top players...
1013
01:12:43,442 --> 01:12:46,029
they will sometimes sit at the board
1014
01:12:46,029 --> 01:12:48,656
through the whole night.
1015
01:12:48,656 --> 01:12:51,034
[Woman 2 in Chinese] Just the empty board?
1016
01:12:51,034 --> 01:12:52,118
[Woman in Chinese] Yes.
1017
01:12:52,118 --> 01:12:53,703
They won't play,
1018
01:12:53,703 --> 01:12:56,080
they won't read books,
1019
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,875
they just sit there and think.
1020
01:13:04,339 --> 01:13:06,632
[man in Japanese] Ever since I was young
1021
01:13:06,632 --> 01:13:10,427
I've been studying Go Seigen's games.
1022
01:13:11,971 --> 01:13:15,558
It changes the way you play.
1023
01:13:15,558 --> 01:13:21,231
After every move liesa world unknown.
1024
01:13:21,231 --> 01:13:23,066
[speaks Korean] You are not Picasso or Monet
1025
01:13:23,066 --> 01:13:26,319
just because you imitate their paintings.
1026
01:13:26,319 --> 01:13:30,698
Art is formed by putting your own color into something.
1027
01:13:30,698 --> 01:13:35,119
A legendary player isn'tjust remembered for winning.
1028
01:13:35,119 --> 01:13:40,333
They change the paradigmsof the game.
1029
01:13:40,333 --> 01:13:42,626
That's what I am striving to do too
1030
01:13:42,626 --> 01:13:45,504
but I have a long way to go.
1031
01:13:45,504 --> 01:13:49,133
[speaks Japanese] More than forty years ago
1032
01:13:50,134 --> 01:13:53,137
as computers were getting bigger
1033
01:13:53,137 --> 01:13:55,973
a computer expert told me
1034
01:13:55,973 --> 01:14:02,063
that computers would become more and more powerful.
1035
01:14:02,063 --> 01:14:07,318
But considering the amountof space on a 19x19 board
1036
01:14:07,318 --> 01:14:09,987
wide as the universe
1037
01:14:09,987 --> 01:14:14,325
if a computer manages to win
1038
01:14:14,325 --> 01:14:16,827
many things will be different...
1039
01:14:16,827 --> 01:14:19,830
the age we live in will have changed.
1040
01:14:26,587 --> 01:14:28,256
Anyway, today's about you.
1041
01:14:28,256 --> 01:14:30,716
Today's about you and how you're gonna lose to Gansheng
1042
01:14:30,716 --> 01:14:32,551
and make a bunch of excuses about it.
1043
01:14:32,551 --> 01:14:35,221
I mean he played well against me,
1044
01:14:35,221 --> 01:14:38,099
but can he repeat that every game?
1045
01:14:39,392 --> 01:14:40,935
I don't know.
1046
01:14:40,935 --> 01:14:42,145
It's in the bag.
1047
01:14:42,145 --> 01:14:44,480
[laughing]
1048
01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:48,525
[soft instrumental music]
1049
01:15:06,294 --> 01:15:09,046
[Interviewer] What are you guys thinking about the game?
1050
01:15:09,046 --> 01:15:12,091
-No idea. -I encourage Gansheng...
1051
01:15:12,091 --> 01:15:13,426
Beat him!
1052
01:15:14,677 --> 01:15:17,013
He's got to get that group out anyways,
1053
01:15:17,013 --> 01:15:19,056
it's just a question of whether his other group
1054
01:15:19,056 --> 01:15:21,267
is strong enough to get any type of a double attack going
1055
01:15:21,267 --> 01:15:24,312
between the two white groups right?
1056
01:15:24,312 --> 01:15:26,356
Yeah, that's what this is about,
1057
01:15:26,356 --> 01:15:28,524
the last 10 moves have been all about.
1058
01:15:28,524 --> 01:15:30,109
Here he's blocking.
1059
01:15:30,109 --> 01:15:32,111
This white group doesn't have much territory
1060
01:15:32,111 --> 01:15:35,572
so I would say in this exchange
1061
01:15:35,572 --> 01:15:38,368
Andy has scored a minor victory.
1062
01:15:38,368 --> 01:15:42,372
[soft instrumental music]
1063
01:16:12,985 --> 01:16:16,697
I'm gettin' scared Andy's gonna over attack again
1064
01:16:16,697 --> 01:16:18,032
and it's gonna bite him.
1065
01:16:18,032 --> 01:16:19,534
I have no basis for this opinion on him.
1066
01:16:19,534 --> 01:16:20,535
He's gonna what?
1067
01:16:20,535 --> 01:16:22,912
He's gonna over attack again
1068
01:16:22,912 --> 01:16:27,208
and lose something like he did last, yesterday.
1069
01:16:30,627 --> 01:16:32,004
Oh boy.
1070
01:16:32,004 --> 01:16:34,507
They're jostling for position in the middle
1071
01:16:34,507 --> 01:16:36,759
so now it's kind of like an arm wrestling match
1072
01:16:36,759 --> 01:16:40,430
in the middle if whoever pushes the other guy away
1073
01:16:40,430 --> 01:16:43,516
is going to have a big advantage.
1074
01:16:43,516 --> 01:16:47,270
[soft instrumental music]
1075
01:17:02,159 --> 01:17:04,661
[Curtis] White has won the arm wrestling competition,
1076
01:17:04,661 --> 01:17:08,583
he's kind of got black surrounded now.
1077
01:17:08,583 --> 01:17:10,626
It seems like white scored, Gansheng scored
1078
01:17:10,626 --> 01:17:13,629
a very major victory in this fight.
1079
01:17:13,629 --> 01:17:16,340
He's obviously completely closed down
1080
01:17:16,340 --> 01:17:20,844
but if he can survive the game is great for white.
1081
01:17:27,226 --> 01:17:29,353
[man] Black was quiteprepared for that,
1082
01:17:29,353 --> 01:17:32,940
threatening the doubleatari on one side
1083
01:17:32,940 --> 01:17:35,818
and the tomb of capture on the other.
1084
01:17:35,818 --> 01:17:37,987
Now Andy's thinking.
1085
01:17:38,946 --> 01:17:42,950
[soft instrumental music]
1086
01:18:00,134 --> 01:18:01,760
There's been like three times
1087
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:04,639
when Andy's been most confident,
1088
01:18:04,639 --> 01:18:10,603
and the other guy's managed to throw a wrench in the works.
1089
01:18:10,603 --> 01:18:12,146
I think he's still okay.
1090
01:18:12,146 --> 01:18:13,939
[Computer] 30 seconds.
1091
01:18:13,939 --> 01:18:16,817
[soft instrumental music]
1092
01:18:16,817 --> 01:18:20,571
Of course, Gansheng tries to kill the entire group.
1093
01:18:20,571 --> 01:18:22,448
This is extremely exciting.
1094
01:18:22,448 --> 01:18:26,577
Now black has no way to live, he has not enough eyes.
1095
01:18:26,577 --> 01:18:29,288
Now the only thing he can do is he can push
1096
01:18:29,288 --> 01:18:32,416
and cut off the middle white group against,
1097
01:18:32,416 --> 01:18:33,626
and the corner white group,
1098
01:18:33,626 --> 01:18:35,794
neither of which are alive either.
1099
01:18:35,794 --> 01:18:39,798
[soft instrumental music]
1100
01:18:41,509 --> 01:18:43,469
This is a nasty race.
1101
01:18:43,469 --> 01:18:47,473
[soft instrumental music]
1102
01:19:16,293 --> 01:19:19,213
[Curtis] So right now, Andy'sdefinitely winning
1103
01:19:19,213 --> 01:19:21,674
because Gansheng's middle group is dead.
1104
01:19:22,592 --> 01:19:24,594
Oh man, this is terrible.
1105
01:19:24,594 --> 01:19:28,764
I think Gansheng probably made a mistake in reading.
1106
01:19:28,764 --> 01:19:31,100
That's the end of the universe.
1107
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:35,104
[soft instrumental music]
1108
01:20:09,722 --> 01:20:11,432
If you're still playing a game,
1109
01:20:11,432 --> 01:20:13,976
please pause your thoughts for a moment.
1110
01:20:17,980 --> 01:20:21,692
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present
1111
01:20:21,692 --> 01:20:28,282
the first US Certified Go Professional, Andy Liu.
1112
01:20:28,282 --> 01:20:32,703
-[audience applauding] -[soft instrumental music]
1113
01:20:42,296 --> 01:20:46,091
[All] Andy!
1114
01:20:50,095 --> 01:20:53,516
-Next time you should play teaching games!
1115
01:20:50,095 --> 01:20:53,516
-[laughing]
1116
01:21:09,323 --> 01:21:12,993
Please pause your thoughts for one moment.
1117
01:21:12,993 --> 01:21:15,663
I would like to present the second
1118
01:21:15,663 --> 01:21:19,583
US Certified Go Professional, Gansheng Shi.
1119
01:21:19,583 --> 01:21:23,128
[audience applauding]
1120
01:21:34,931 --> 01:21:38,352
These two emerged as the top of the heap
1121
01:21:38,352 --> 01:21:44,983
and are achieving the first AGA certificates as professionals.
1122
01:21:44,983 --> 01:21:49,739
And they deserve all our honor and respect.
1123
01:21:49,739 --> 01:21:52,825
We have high hopes for their futures.
1124
01:21:55,703 --> 01:21:59,498
Green tea, five different kinds of green tea.
1125
01:21:59,498 --> 01:22:02,543
And when you make these teas and drink these teas
1126
01:22:02,543 --> 01:22:04,670
you can remember this experience.
1127
01:22:04,670 --> 01:22:06,463
[laughing]
1128
01:22:06,463 --> 01:22:12,386
So the AGA will send you to the five biggest tournaments in
1129
01:22:06,463 --> 01:22:12,386
Korea.
1130
01:22:12,386 --> 01:22:17,933
You are not just individual Go players anymore.
1131
01:22:17,933 --> 01:22:21,270
You are representing the American Go Association as well
1132
01:22:21,270 --> 01:22:25,148
and the American Go community as a whole.
1133
01:22:25,148 --> 01:22:30,070
So if you become strong and hero
1134
01:22:30,070 --> 01:22:32,364
and make a lot of money
1135
01:22:32,364 --> 01:22:35,158
there will be thousands of kids
1136
01:22:35,158 --> 01:22:38,287
who'd like to learn Go because of you.
1137
01:22:38,287 --> 01:22:40,372
They want to be like you.
1138
01:22:46,295 --> 01:22:49,840
It may seem like the same as it was a few days ago,
1139
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,258
everything's changed.
1140
01:22:56,263 --> 01:22:59,433
Apparently we get our own business cards.
1141
01:22:59,433 --> 01:23:00,643
[Friend] Oh, well then.
1142
01:23:00,643 --> 01:23:01,936
Where's Gansheng?
1143
01:23:02,937 --> 01:23:04,396
Oh, right here [laughs].
1144
01:23:05,731 --> 01:23:07,149
Is that weed?
1145
01:23:07,149 --> 01:23:09,318
No.
1146
01:23:10,569 --> 01:23:13,489
[Andy] BC card, LG card, Samsung card.
1147
01:23:13,489 --> 01:23:14,531
There's two more.
1148
01:23:14,531 --> 01:23:15,950
Are invited?
1149
01:23:15,950 --> 01:23:18,118
Like you don't even have to play or pre-qualify?
1150
01:23:18,118 --> 01:23:19,453
It's our precondition.
1151
01:23:19,453 --> 01:23:21,163
A main tournament?
1152
01:23:21,163 --> 01:23:23,415
Out of 32 people there's going to be two American players?
1153
01:23:23,415 --> 01:23:25,876
Yeah, they invite our association.
1154
01:23:25,876 --> 01:23:28,671
And we get our own business card.
1155
01:23:28,671 --> 01:23:29,546
[laughing]
1156
01:23:29,546 --> 01:23:30,798
With the AGA.
1157
01:23:30,798 --> 01:23:32,257
Oh my goodness.
1158
01:23:32,257 --> 01:23:33,258
I don't know what to say.
1159
01:23:33,258 --> 01:23:34,885
What was your question?
1160
01:23:34,885 --> 01:23:36,679
[Gansheng] Like when do you think we might go to Korea
1161
01:23:36,679 --> 01:23:38,722
to play in these tournaments?
1162
01:23:38,722 --> 01:23:41,266
I'm not sure.
1163
01:23:41,266 --> 01:23:42,267
[laughing]
1164
01:23:42,267 --> 01:23:45,896
I'm actually... my attention
1165
01:23:45,896 --> 01:23:49,441
is being taken away by this game.
1166
01:23:53,403 --> 01:23:56,031
[clattering]
1167
01:24:06,124 --> 01:24:10,128
[soft instrumental music]
1168
01:24:15,258 --> 01:24:18,971
[Ben] I'm not going to leavea good thing in Korea.
1169
01:24:18,971 --> 01:24:23,433
When I say it's a good thing, it's as opposed to what?
1170
01:24:25,310 --> 01:24:29,899
You get your one adventurewhile you're still alive.
1171
01:24:29,899 --> 01:24:31,650
Like what else am I gonna do?
1172
01:24:31,650 --> 01:24:34,528
This is the thing that I'm best at,
1173
01:24:34,528 --> 01:24:37,656
take your talent to its full potential
1174
01:24:37,656 --> 01:24:39,199
and see where that goes.
1175
01:24:41,368 --> 01:24:43,787
Factoring in all that,I just don't even care,
1176
01:24:43,787 --> 01:24:45,748
like okay whatever, better, worse,
1177
01:24:45,748 --> 01:24:48,584
I have to live in a studio apartment for
1178
01:24:45,748 --> 01:24:48,584
the rest of my life
1179
01:24:48,584 --> 01:24:51,795
like that's not changing anything about the fact that
1180
01:24:53,589 --> 01:24:56,008
everything's what you make it and like
1181
01:24:57,593 --> 01:25:00,429
treated my brain the way it wanted to be treated,
1182
01:25:00,429 --> 01:25:03,265
did it what it was asking for and made myself happy
1183
01:25:03,265 --> 01:25:06,476
as opposed to lying to myself and
1184
01:25:07,603 --> 01:25:10,397
living in a suit that doesn't fit.
1185
01:25:17,153 --> 01:25:19,907
I don't know, I'm a little bit scared for him.
1186
01:25:19,907 --> 01:25:24,578
I don't know, he's not gonna thrive,
1187
01:25:24,578 --> 01:25:28,290
he's not gonna survive in a corporate setting, I know that.
1188
01:25:28,290 --> 01:25:33,837
Will he be okay if he just spent the rest of his life
1189
01:25:35,965 --> 01:25:39,927
not as an outcast but just an unusual member of society,
1190
01:25:39,927 --> 01:25:42,596
just like a [sighs].
1191
01:25:46,016 --> 01:25:50,020
Neither of you fit into society very well.
1192
01:25:50,020 --> 01:25:52,397
Neither of us?
1193
01:25:52,397 --> 01:25:56,359
[Curtis] I think I have the ability to fit in.
1194
01:25:56,359 --> 01:25:58,779
You do?
1195
01:26:00,322 --> 01:26:01,657
Okay.
1196
01:26:01,657 --> 01:26:06,369
I'll try to watch my stuttering, for example.
1197
01:26:06,369 --> 01:26:11,541
The only reason I do that is because I look for...
1198
01:26:11,541 --> 01:26:13,627
more precise words to describe myself.
1199
01:26:13,627 --> 01:26:15,671
But that's not how most people speak.
1200
01:26:15,671 --> 01:26:19,049
If you don't wanna work, what are you gonna do?
1201
01:26:19,049 --> 01:26:20,592
[Andy] What do you mean?
1202
01:26:20,592 --> 01:26:24,013
Well if you're not gonna go and do some random job.
1203
01:26:24,013 --> 01:26:27,390
I am going to, just in time.
1204
01:26:27,390 --> 01:26:29,143
[Curtis] Oh, so you are?
1205
01:26:30,060 --> 01:26:31,687
Yeah.
1206
01:26:31,687 --> 01:26:33,229
[Curtis] Okay.
1207
01:26:41,905 --> 01:26:44,199
A job is important.
1208
01:26:44,199 --> 01:26:48,203
[Andy] I agree.
1209
01:27:02,134 --> 01:27:03,677
[Ben] Hi.
1210
01:27:05,303 --> 01:27:07,973
So we have to find, I think if we go downstairs,
1211
01:27:07,973 --> 01:27:11,935
there's gonna be more stores and you can get a cake.
1212
01:27:11,935 --> 01:27:14,730
Yeah, I'd love to get a cake with a 99 on it.
1213
01:27:27,576 --> 01:27:29,953
I was expecting rolling green hills,
1214
01:27:29,953 --> 01:27:33,415
like he lives on top of a mountain or something like that.
1215
01:27:33,415 --> 01:27:36,043
[laughing]
1216
01:27:37,002 --> 01:27:38,795
Hope he likes the cake.
1217
01:27:45,928 --> 01:27:49,723
[speaking Japanese] We will bring him in.
1218
01:28:22,923 --> 01:28:25,634
It is close to your birthday
1219
01:28:25,634 --> 01:28:27,928
on the old calendar.
1220
01:28:27,928 --> 01:28:30,264
So we will have a birthday party.
1221
01:28:35,435 --> 01:28:38,647
♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
1222
01:28:38,647 --> 01:28:42,692
♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
1223
01:28:42,692 --> 01:28:48,615
♪ Happy Birthday Go Seigen ♪
1224
01:28:48,615 --> 01:28:50,826
♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
1225
01:28:50,826 --> 01:28:52,619
[speaking Japanese] Everyone together!
1226
01:28:52,619 --> 01:28:55,371
One, two, three!
1227
01:29:11,263 --> 01:29:13,932
[in Japanese] This is strong.
1228
01:29:15,767 --> 01:29:19,813
An amateur might cut here
1229
01:29:19,813 --> 01:29:21,982
but this is the vital point.
1230
01:29:21,982 --> 01:29:24,109
[Michael] Better hit the key point.
1231
01:29:24,109 --> 01:29:27,279
[speaking Japanese] Even if you capture two stones
1232
01:29:27,279 --> 01:29:29,323
it's no good!
1233
01:29:33,118 --> 01:29:35,829
This is big.
1234
01:29:37,706 --> 01:29:40,000
It's big.
1235
01:29:44,296 --> 01:29:47,465
-[Ben in English] What year? -[Michael] 1942.
1236
01:29:49,926 --> 01:29:53,013
It was his first game of Jubango.
1237
01:29:55,015 --> 01:30:01,230
[in Japanese] I often played with Kitani sensei overnight.
1238
01:30:08,402 --> 01:30:13,700
I would get tired when it waslate
1239
01:30:13,700 --> 01:30:18,955
but then I'd be more awake inthe morning
1240
01:30:18,955 --> 01:30:21,875
and catch up.
1241
01:30:23,710 --> 01:30:27,089
We used to play pool
1242
01:30:27,089 --> 01:30:31,509
near the Go center.
1243
01:30:31,509 --> 01:30:38,141
Kitani would be taking off his glasses
1244
01:30:38,141 --> 01:30:41,644
and it would take him
1245
01:30:41,644 --> 01:30:43,939
five minutes
1246
01:30:43,939 --> 01:30:45,857
to hit the ball.
1247
01:30:45,857 --> 01:30:49,027
[Michael in English] He's talking about the time when he
1248
01:30:45,857 --> 01:30:49,027
was young.
1249
01:30:49,027 --> 01:30:50,946
They didn't have time limits sometimes,
1250
01:30:50,946 --> 01:30:53,489
sometimes the time limit was a lot,
1251
01:30:53,489 --> 01:30:57,577
and so games would go on throughout the night.
1252
01:31:02,958 --> 01:31:06,586
[Go Seigen in Japanese] He was a good-hearted person.
1253
01:31:06,586 --> 01:31:11,258
Once when I went to a templein Kyoto
1254
01:31:14,761 --> 01:31:20,100
I played an exceptionallygood game.
1255
01:31:27,941 --> 01:31:30,819
But with one move
1256
01:31:30,819 --> 01:31:33,447
an atari
1257
01:31:34,364 --> 01:31:38,076
the game was spoiled.
1258
01:31:42,914 --> 01:31:47,419
Master Segoe and the priests
1259
01:31:47,419 --> 01:31:49,587
were all disappointed.
1260
01:31:52,215 --> 01:31:55,551
It was so close to perfect
1261
01:31:55,551 --> 01:32:00,349
but that one atari...
1262
01:32:01,599 --> 01:32:05,603
[soft instrumental music]
1263
01:32:20,243 --> 01:32:24,914
[in Japanese] Go can bring happiness
1264
01:32:24,914 --> 01:32:30,253
to people around the world.
1265
01:32:30,253 --> 01:32:33,089
That is the best thing.
1266
01:32:34,632 --> 01:32:37,760
I'm glad that I have played Go.
1267
01:32:43,808 --> 01:32:46,186
[Michael in English] He's tired.
1268
01:32:46,186 --> 01:32:50,190
[soft instrumental music]
1269
01:33:14,756 --> 01:33:16,632
[Curtis] What are you thinking Andy?
1270
01:33:16,632 --> 01:33:19,719
Wasting too much time on Go?
1271
01:33:21,721 --> 01:33:24,182
-[Andy] Me? -[Curtis] Yeah.
1272
01:33:25,100 --> 01:33:27,601
[Andy] Probably, yes.
1273
01:33:28,895 --> 01:33:31,064
I'm mean, I've envisioned myself
1274
01:33:31,064 --> 01:33:33,983
doing other things instead of Go.
1275
01:33:33,983 --> 01:33:37,195
Having not learned Go and...
1276
01:33:37,195 --> 01:33:41,699
[Curtis] I think you can still do all of these things
1277
01:33:42,700 --> 01:33:45,203
cause you're still very young.
1278
01:33:45,203 --> 01:33:48,331
[Andy] That's not true, I mean...
1279
01:33:48,331 --> 01:33:51,000
The problem is that once you make the commitment
1280
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,711
you're kind of, you're kind of
1281
01:33:53,711 --> 01:33:55,547
You're committed?
1282
01:33:55,547 --> 01:33:58,049
Kind of committed.
1282
01:33:59,305 --> 01:34:05,648
