What do you know about Go?
You got 4 out of 8 right!
You’re tied with Cassy Janine!
While Albert got the perfect score, I got the perfect half of it.?
You still did perfectly fine
You got 8 out of 8 right! But please, Do not challenge me again after this, I will surely lose!
Congrats man, you’ve earned a free pass…
Hahaha… Thank’s man! I received very well!
If I treat you poorly, then your wife will complain to my wife and I will never hear the end of it…
Take it easy, they are very familiar and understand each other. After all, we have honored and served them well all along, have not we?
This is the best I’ve done on one of your quizzes (7/8). I missed the one about being able to change your move or not when it’s your turn, probably because I’ve watched you play online…
I set a bad example. In a tournament, once you take your finger off the stone that’s your move
Well I only got 4 right, but it’s a game I’d like to learn, as there’s a set in the house. Congratulations on your prize in the 2017 Cotsen Open!
I highly recommend it. And if you apply the strategies you learn from go to other areas in your life you can benefit even more…
Okay, so NOW I stumble upon my answer to your comment, LOL. Indeed, you were right about your comment about my wallpaper art. ??
I am too obscure, please forgive me
Now I know more about this game than I did, which was nothing. Thanks for the intro!
You are most welcome

Nice work! Did you know about go before, or were you just guessing?

Did you try my pirate quizzes? They are even more fun…

That’s a good score! You’re tied for first place…
