## Resource

Kai is a young 3-dan Go player living in Japan! He is very passionate about Go and was kind enough to come on the show to talk to me about all sorts of Go things – from time controls to how the ranking system works in Japan. It was a great time for me, so thank you for being on the show, Kai! playgo.gg Join the Discord ⁠Support Star Point⁠ The Star Point Store
