Neurotic Go
Keywords: Variant
Hi there. My name is Tony. As a very neurotic person I invented a special Go-variant for neurotic persons:
- After making his move Black reveals the point where he fears most White will play next or where he desires most to play himself.
- Now White has to choose between playing the designated neurotic move or playing tenuki:
- if White plays the neurotic move, the game continues and Black remains the neurotic player;
- if White plays tenuki, Black is forced to play his self-chosen neurotic move. This may be a painful experience but Black gets released from his emotional inclinations and now White becomes the neurotic player.
Good luck everybody and hold on!
Isn't this like using the pie rule every move (or every 2 moves)? ~srn347
