Singing When Playing

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.

-- DieterVerhofstadt

Tamsin: Dieter forgot to mention that he tends to whistle when he's losing. He did that to me once and it proved to be useful information :-)


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?

The best way to get kicked out the club is undoubtely to hum 'Get Over', Hikaru no Go opening theme


i don't usually humm or sing when i play go instead i tap on the table in which i am playing which is sometimes more annoying than singing. Sometimes when i play on KGS i start typing in useless chat when i am playing a game lol. naruto3
