Singing When Playing
Path: BadHabits · Prev: ResignRightBeforeTheDameAreFilled · Next: SlidingStonesOnTheBoard I'm afraid I am guilty of this bad behaviour. Besides a Go player, I am a singer too. Maybe it is not so much singing, but I certainly do whistle while playing. Club members have already complained about this, the problem is that I do it unconciously. Of course I shouldn't and it is distracting and insulting for the opponent. It seems that I have this same habit (not singing actually but humming quietly). Some of the members at a club I play at were kidding me recently. Apparently I only do it when (I think) I am winning! I just had an interesting afternoon playing at a Go club in New York City in a Korean area of the city. There were six or seven other players in the room, and many of them would occasionally sing a little song during the games. It was actually very pleasant and a neat experience -- it especially went well with the Korean radio station in the background, which was playing Korean pop music and discussing Serbia. -- Matt Noonan There's a very good friend of mine who starts softly whistling a soft tune when he understands he's in dire straits... So I welcome this habit of his, as it means I'm winning... ;-) I believe there are also plenty of songs about go?
