I've always wanted to see S'yang in action, from a description that it is vaguely suggestive of Go. (I've always wanted to play Tonk as well, but only if I can get One-Eye in the game & stop him from cheating (-; ) At the Go Congress each year, i usually get in a game of Tiddly Go, which involves flicking stones across the board & trying to knock your opponent's stones off the back end, among other things. This usually requires less thought than defending a moyo, you understand (-; I always imagine S'yang as something very roughly similar. Snarkhunter
