The scene is not about go at all. It's about Nash walking around a go board with a deep look. It's over-dramatized; I don't think mathematicians think about things this way. They create model (on paper or on Matlab), run them, revise them, etc. If he were a philosopher, this scene would be more fitting.

@AscentofTrollbane I'm legitimately curious about this. Is such a flaw proven to be in the game? If so, how come we can't make computers that can beat human go players if it's mathematically "solved"

[amodelchucrut]

@XZohar123 go its not solved and most likely never will be. Chess has not been solved and its trillions of times less complex than go is. @ascentoftrollbane obviously doesn't play nor he knows anything about go. He was just making a point. Not too long ago, a rule was established in go to compensate for the initial advantage black gets whereas he plays first

[XZohar123]

@AscentofTrollbane In fact, it seems consensus is that it's more likely that hex can be solved, not go. Confused. Legitimately confused, not trying to start an argument.

[CrawlingAxle]

@AscentofTrollbane That's why they have komi.

And no, it cannot always be won by a starting player.

what about this sound? It doesn't exist in the movie but it's beautiful one.

[spilot14]

No wonder it got deleted, the scene is boring / pointless. The movie is just amazing.

[Ripouli]

@spilot14 you obviously dont play go.

[CrawlingAxle]

@Ripouli I play go (every day), and I found this scene boring and pointless.

[Ripouli]

@CrawlingAxle rly? wich kyu? :D

[Ripouli]

@CrawlingAxle it was too much, but its close enough, imo^^

[coldshoulder88]

he made a another kind of board from his perspective

[unrealityproduction]

This has to be one of the best movies ever made. It shows the true beauty of the mind of a genius, and a schizophrenic altogether. Now that is a beautiful mind

[subarux56]

sad the movie is not about go 

[OrbitalCyon]

@phalluses u gptta grown up to understand the movie ;)

[Romahotmetytky]

I like that scene it only lacks special effects mates.

[shimari65]

Wow, what a boring Go scene, no wonder they deleted it! Would have been much cooler if they had showed him visualizing stones appearing all over the board, like in Hikaru no Go. The lost opportunity here is that John Nash was actually a charter member of the AGA, and a devoted Go player. He credited Go with helping him develop Game Theory, for which he is famous.

[simsdogg92]

@shimari65 I think they probably would've added the special effects of him visualizing it if it actually made it into the movie

[jm0n3y21]

apparently, according to my economics teacher, they were playing a modified version of Go

[theguitarlol]

this is like 30 kyu problem :P

[keyinregulus3]

I saw a guy in a park studying a chess set sorta like that a few months back...
