American Go E-Journal

The TV show Criminal Minds recently aired an episode in which a suspect’s house is raided and found a go set in an upstairs room, reports an EJ reader. “A team member, a genius with 3 Caltech PhDs and IQ of 187, glances briefly at the board, pronounces that he is playing against himself and quickly assesses his playing style to provide insight into the suspect’s personality,” the reader says. “It would be interesting if someone could capture the board position from this episode, figure out if it makes any sense, in fact is the game of a player of the “highly aggressive” style (and whether he played both sides with equal aggressiveness), if the position is taken from a real game and who the go adviser is.”
