Я не являюсь приверженцем или фаном Обамы, скорее наоборот, но... Похоже, что он действительно играет в Го.
Выдержка из статьи:
As a Chess game, the Obama presidency is an unmitigated disaster. Carter Redux. But Obama is not playing Chess; he is playing Go. As a game of Go, he already dominates the board and has us all but surrounded.
Chess is a game of tactical movement with well defined and reciprocal goals for victory: capturing the opposing King. It is a vector game, with a clearly defined “ball” to keep one's eyes on.
Go is a subtle game about dominating wide space through small, discrete but interconnected, incremental victories at a local level. Global victory is achieved through thousands of small, local captures of space. Keeping one's eyes on one “ball” is a surefire recipe for defeat.
It is hard to connect the fragmentary dots except by overlaying the outline of the finished picture. So let me fast forward (four or so years) to the America taking shape around us.
