I've been doing daily puzzles, daily correspondence moves and a live game if there is some time. A nice, not intensive routine that I think I can keep up for a little while.

I can't recommend the AlphaGo documentary enough. It's not just about AI or the game of Go, it's about the human spirit. It's an incredible piece of film.

Just watched The Match on Netflix and really enjoyed it. Great to see the game of Go (Baduk) getting some representation on screen.

I've been having a great time playing the #7drl entry Weiqi Dungeon by @jdespland.bsky.social. While a little light on the roguelike theme, it's very high on the fun scale, and certainly the entry I've spent the most time playing.
