Post subject:  Atom Bomb Game
Sixty-Five years ago today, the U.S dropped the first atomic weapon on Hiroshima Japan. I would like to post this game record in remembrance of everyone affected by the bombing and in the hopes that we never see a tragedy like this again.

The details of the game can be found on Sensei's Library.

Reminds me of the famous legend of Archimedes and his circles in the sand. I'd like to cite a relevant remark on (and recounting of) the story from a book I read last year:

"At the beginning of the Roman occupation, Archimedes resumed his activities. He was in the habit of drawing geometric figures on the sand. One day, as he sits thinking at the sea's edge, reflecting on the complicated figures he'd drawn on the shore, a Roman soldier arrives, a sort of courier, telling him that the Roman General Marcellus wishes to see him. The Romans were very curious about Greek scientists... So, General Marcellus wants to see Archimedes. Between us, I don't think we can imagine that General Marcellus was well up on mathematics. Simply, and this curiosity is a credit to him, he wanted to see what an insurgent of Archimedes' calibre was like. Whence the currier sent to the shore. But Archimedes doesn't budge. The soldier repeats: 'General Marcellus wishes to see you.' Archimedes still doesn't reply. The Roman soldier, who probably didn't have any great interest in mathematics either, doesn't understand how someone can ignore an order from General Marcellus. 'Archimedes! The General wishes to see you!' Archimedes barely looks up, and says to the soldier: 'Let me finish my demonstration.' And the soldier retorts: 'But Marcellus wants to see you! What do I care about your demonstration!' Without answering, Archimedes resumes his calculations. After a certain time, the soldier, by now absolutely furious, draws his sword and strikes him. Archimedes falls dead. His body effaces the geometrical figure in the sand.

[This situation] shows that between the right of the state and creative thought, especially the pure ontological thought embodied in mathematics, there is no common measure, no real discussion. In the end, power is violence, while the only constraints creative thought recognizes are its own immanent rules. When it comes to the law of his thought, Archimedes remains outside of the action of power. The temporality proper to the demonstration cannot integrate the urgent summons of military victors. That is why violence is eventually wrought, testifying that there is no common measure and no common chronology between the power of one side and the truths of the other. Truths as creation. "

But in this case the philosophers weren't disturbed (much) and were able to finish their game. Much better result than Archimedes' :)

Maybe it's more analogous to the story of Rip van Winkle or the similar story from China of the woodcutter who watched the Immortals play Go for 20 years.

I imagine that's what Hashimoto Utaro and Iwamoto Kaoru felt like when they stepped out and saw the destruction - people moved out of their place in time and space.
