Star Point

Do you identify as a Go player? Or is it just another hobby? Simply put, a Go player is someone who plays Go. But I think there’s so much more to it, including cultural immersion, passion for the game, and perhaps even an underlying philosophical belief that this game is a worthwhile way to spend our time.

Star Point returns with Season 4 on September 14, 2026! For the final episode of Season 3 of Star Point, I ponder the question: is it important to cultivate a desire to win? If so, how do we go about doing that? I will miss you guys, but I’m not really going anywhere! Come to the Discord and chat about Go! Thank you everyone, whether you've listened to one episode or all of them. I am happy to fill whatever audio space you have in your day with Go talk :)
