It was the sort of sentimental drivel that overly enthusiastic Go commentators were wont to wax poetic on and Ogata had always prided himself on being more rational than that.
No, to Ogata the goban had always been a place to fight for territory, to conquer and to defeat one's opponent through superior strategy and insight. He could see the beauty of Go, but he believed that beauty was secondary to the satisfaction of a game well played on the goban. It was a playing space, that was all. There were no fanciful structures on a wooden board.
But now - it was as though he was six years old again and was seeing the game of Go again, and this time, he could see how the lines of the goban stretched out in four directions, further than his eyes could follow. He seemed to have shrunk, a small boy just beginning to find his way in a whole new world.
For all around him were towers and walls, some black and others white, abandoned spaces, narrow territories and wide, castles besiged and defences scattered. A world had crashed down around him, and Ogata hadn't even seen it happening until now.
Across the goban, his opponent bowed in response to his admission of defeat.
