Go Handicaps - Forms of Handicaps

Forms of Handicaps

In the game of Go, a handicap is given by means of stones and compensation points. In contrast to an even game, in which black plays first, white plays the first move in a game with handicap (after black's handicap stones have been placed).

Famous quotes containing the words forms of, forms and/or handicaps:

    The soul of Man must quicken to creation.
    Out of the formless stone, when the artist united himself with stone,
    Spring always new forms of life....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.
    Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)

    ... many American Jews have a morbid tendency to exaggerate their handicaps and difficulties. ... There is no doubt that the Jew ... has to be twice as good as the average non- Jew to succeed in many a field of endeavor. But to dwell upon these injustices to the point of self-pity is to weaken the personality unnecessarily. Every human being has handicaps of one sort or another. The brave individual accepts them and by accepting conquers them.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
