- The Protracted Game; 1980
- Description
- This paper, delivered by Joe B. Linker, Jr., explores the ancient game of GO, highlighting its historical origins, strategic depth, and significance beyond mere entertainment. Linker draws parallels between GO's principles and the strategic maneuvers in the Communist Revolution in China, emphasizing how the game serves as a model for understanding military and political strategies in the Far East. The paper underscores GO's status as the greatest strategic game, its influence on military tactics, and its role in intellectual culture, particularly in China and Japan. By analyzing the Communist Revolution through the lens of GO, Linker suggests that Western misunderstandings of Eastern strategies could be mitigated by studying this game.
