Interesting. Nice solve.#5: William Wolfe (BillWolfe) on Feb 18, 2018 [SPOILER]
Actually it means "check" not "checkmate" You have "atari" in go when you have the initiative an the other player has to react to your moves.#6: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Feb 18, 2018 [SPOILER]
I've never played go, but the board looks very interesting.#7: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Feb 18, 2018 [SPOILER]

I liked that the new "Blade Runner 2049" movie still had a huge glowing Atari logo in town, likely referencing the original film.
I'm sure that when they made the original back in 1982, it was unthinkable that Atari would no longer exist in the "futuristic" year 2019.
