Personal Journey with Go

The speaker shares a personal journey of discovering the game of Go, initially sparked by the documentary 'AlphaGo.' During the pandemic, with the unique opportunity of working from home and nurturing a newborn, there was a chance to delve deeper into Go. Despite early struggles against computer opponents, this challenge motivated further exploration and learning, emphasizing the game's mystique and complexity. For two years, the speaker engaged predominantly with problem-solving exercises (Sumego) and literature, building a foundation before participating in actual games.
