Hi! I've found a book of Kasparov, How Life imitates Chess. http://www.amazon.es/How-Life-Imitates- ... 1596913886 It's an interesting book on chess philosophy and how it resembles life. My question is if there is any baduk player who did this? I mean, not only a book, lectures and so on of how baduk and life, business, politics resembles baduk. Is there any webpage with essays of that kind? Regards, Luis! |

First thing that comes to my mind is Go proverbs http://senseis.xmp.net/?Proverbs (more links there). Some Go proverbs I remember (my words, I don't remember the original): - Discard small and take big. - Don’t go hunting if your house is burning. - A rich man (today I use “person” instead) shouldn’t look for a fight. - Lure the tiger down from the mountains. - Attack [one Chinese empire’s name] if you want to attack [another empire’s] name. - Sail over the ocean to attack [neighbouring empire’s name] While I have seen these in context with Go several times, they probably have been common life proverbs already before they were applied to Go, but I can also imagine that could’ve been the other way ’round since Chinese seems to be a poetic language with many ambiguities and metaphors/allegories. Also cf. “36 stratagems” (sometimes also “strategems”), and there probably is also some relation to Sun Tzu’s “Art of War”; I’ve also read that Chinese generals of olden times played game Go with their officers before going into a battle (like I read somewhere that it was (still is?) required to know Weiqi in order achieve higher ranks in the Chinese army), and IIRC Mao Zedong also wrote something about Weiqi in connection with politics or warfare.

Michael Redmond has a book in Japanese where he describes what he learned from Go and how he applied it to his life. http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%9B%B4%E8%A6 ... 3%E3%83%89 |
