“During my student days at the University of Berlin, I was introduced to the game of Go [...] In the evenings, Go was eagerly played at Café König, often from 8:00 PM until 2:00 AM, and in accordance with the Japanese proverb He who has the Go stone in his mouth feels neither hunger nor thirst, it happened more than once that I missed the last suburban train and had to spend the night in the waiting room of the Tiergarten Station. [...] There are chess computers, but not yet any noteworthy Go computers (and hopefully there won't be usable Go computers anytime soon).”
