You can now order a colored print of the compendium series <a href=http://www.etsy.com/listing/81698888/color-print-compendium-i-iii-340x250-mm>here</a>. <br/> <br/>Third part of the ongoing compendium series! <br/>It is great to follow in the comments the various sighting reports of the most peculiar behaviors of go playing people, and here are three that strike me as rather common, in one way or another: <br/> <br/>the BOARD-SHATTERER <br/>A behavior glorified by some as the epitome of the self-confident go master, criticized by some as the most obvious opponent-intimidation strategy, and, and this is a personal view, a behavior that makes me want to hide under the table seeking cover (I got hit by a stone at near bullet-velocity once because someone who likes to play this way had slippery fingers.) <br/>No real shattered boards were reported to me as of now, does not mean that it never happened though. <br/> <br/>the ABSENTEE <br/>Known to almost all go players, the "wanderer", alternatively. This player is curious what is happening at the other boards, eager to take pictures of the players during the game, has a severe nicotine addiction or likes to pace around to calm himself - the reasons are numerous and highly variable. If two of these get paired up at tournaments, it is possible they actually meet at the board for the first time after the fuseki has been played already. <br/> <br/>the COMMENTATOR <br/>Less common at tournaments, and if it is the case, tends to restrict his vocal assertion of the game to occasional sighs or vague mumbling. Some specimen do not elaborate only on the current game on the board, topics can range from the story of his/her life to general remarks completely unrelated to anything at hand.
