It's the very slow paced version of tron lol. For all of those who don't know what Go is, it is a simple board game of many squares (like a grid). The goal is to use your stones to block off and kill the other player's stones. Imagine the stones as your wall. 2020, I can see the similarity but it's not at all "similar."

I have a friend at college who plays Go pretty much anytime he can. Now like the whole 2nd semester I've been trying to get him to play tron, whenever I play he is watching and is interested but he says he has no time, time I tell him he will have a surplus of if he switches from boring Go to fast paced tron. Around finals time, he said if I trained him and taught him good time management skills (like i have) then he would try and get into tron.

Just a funny coincidence, 2020

it is heavy. i personally like the English translation of the art of war by Sun Tzu.

i feel its less dense and can be applied to many aspects of life, including tron. lol

Clausewitz should be required reading for fortress players.

Sun Tzu's is obsolete, clausewitz is the future.
