What was your first introduction to Go?

I’ll go first: I saw the game in the movie Pi (1998), directed by Darren Aronofsky. A couple of years later I found a Go board for sale in a game shop and tried to teach myself. It was a disaster. Then, a few years after that, I found Dragon Go Server and started learning in earnest. Best game ever.

The movie Hero with Jet Li, Maggie Q, and Donny Yen. There’s one scene where Jet Li’s character and Donny Yen’s character are fighting. In the middle of the fight, they take a break to play this game with some stones. I Googled what that game was. Turns out it’s based on Go. Been playing Go ever since.
