Nah, it's easy to become a Mahjong professional, even if you picked up the game as an adult. It's like poker.

Go on the other hand ... it is impossible to become a world class Go professional unless you've formally studied and played the game every day since you were a child.

Pic related, "world class" mahjong players will never be as admired and respected as these men.

OP you're probably not even wearing proper Go playing attire. You're a disgrace!

Indeed, true men play Go, a real game for real scholars such as myself, picture's related.

You guys should stop playing all these garbage games in the inbred chess family and play a real game that doesn't restrict you to moving certain pieces in certain ways. Pic's related.

Go is a thousand times better than Mahjong. Go is a scholar's game played by TRUE Confucian gentlemen. Mahjong on the other hand, is a scummy gambling game played by shady gangsters and school girls wearing outrageously short skirts.

Munching on tacos at the Go table would NOT be acceptable, such is the respect the competitors have for the game that has been played for over 2,500 years.

This is an outrage. They are making a mockery of over 2,000 years of history!

Pic related, when dealing with Go you need to serious the fuck up.

Fuck you!

Minutes to learn ... A LIFETIME TO MASTER

I'm sorry but Go is clearly superior. Picture VERY related, look at these world class athletes. Kasparov and BoxeR have nothing on these guys.

Get out of here with that inferior shit.

Chess, Shougi, and Xiangqi are all bullshit. The one true measure of strategic supremacy is Go and has been for 2,000 years. Picture VERY related.

I hope it goes without saying, but anybody dumb enough to play Chess doesn't deserve to refer to himself as ore-sama. That sort of title is only reserved for SUPERIOR specimens that play Go. Pic related.

Chess is a shit game played by people who apparently don't care that it doesn't matter how smart they are or how hard they train, they can just be beaten by a MACHINE. Superior people play the SUPERIOR game of Go. Pic related.

How high of level do I have to be to be able to wear these hats?

Does anybody here actually follow professional Go games and tournaments?

Thread's related to /jp/ even if the dudes in the picture are Chinese, because come on! The hats! Aren't they just the coolest?
