around the summer more tables so as i start to take a look around some of the tables this young sprightly lady is working on a project and what is it you're doing this is called in each case which is the most recent of the japanese national art it's approximately two hundred years old it is weaving on cut paper with silk this is a type of kind of work yes it's very and this particular one is a very old one that printed in just a pattern has been featured in a book which is right this was done by her mother who has all timers and doesn't know she scrap and that's when the first time was on display in japan quite depressed because no one had ever thought of using their scraps that it's called master at it yet yourself all know i doubt if i would ever be considered a master you have to have a perfect and mine is not perfect perfect every time the average person when i know did the difference but master yeah ok it's just that m s n dot com if you want more information about and some wood carving guess will be some kind of like going over there over here there's going to be woodworking that's a staple here there's a children's area coloring  they're trying to figure things out lots of family fun an event like this then over this way a number of foods that they're preparing reading a little ball a string a fake octopus are you having fun making paper crane it's a t v show i and then of course you can pick up your paper with the schedule of everything try on the armor of right around the corner for and again this is right a little quieter will start to pick up pick up on saturday sunday of course to see what else is going across the way the other building photographed there were something on my land the lights reflecting but the only time that you're going to see a lot of these photos if you come to an event like th there is quite a variety of pictures  sections kind of interesting because it's a collection of photographer who have taken photographs of different parts kind of capturing a lot of the areas that are disappearing and development writing it was a little slower and now we're looking at a board sort of a practice board as it were a display board for go and with me i have this gentleman and you are brian allen and i'm manager of the seattle go center which is located on forty fifth street in the university district and tuesdays are our big day for visitors anybody is welcome to come by between three and ten p and we will teach him the game of go and for those that don't know what it is what is go go is a territory based strategy game should i follow you around which is at least three thousand years old maybe four thousand years old and is very popular and japan china and korea and what is the strategy  strategy is to have slightly more territory than your opponent it's a game of compromise rather than one of total victory it's much better to plan to win just by a small margin than to try to conquer the entire board now as we're looking at this we see a young lady playing two different gentlemen at the same time right what's happening here the young woman is or so i was in our room ios i was from japan and she is a professional go fire she's won national titles in japan and played in international competitions so she is one of the three thousand people in the world who play the games professionally and she's playing to local amateurs are fairly strong as an amateur player but she gave them a significant head start at the beginning to even out the game and one of the things that's wonderful about the game of go is that we do have a handicap system which allows players with different levels to play a game where the outcome is uncertain whether we really depends on how well you're playing at that very moment and so it allows people to really focus on the playing well i'm trying to follow so somebody resigned and i wasn't paying attention so i didn't see who did and so now she's replaying part of the game and she will she will probably be able to replay the entire game from memory even and and if she's playing simultaneous going so she is doing in this situation being able to play both or all four or five games that she was playing simultaneously and so now she's and there are international tournaments as well we were at the go center we were in sort of the first round for an international tournaments that ultimately have prize money four hundred thousand joan i would have to say to study it more carefully them then i have so far what i would do is to look for open spaces that are controlled by one color who stone or another color or stone because ultimately  often start out loose and then as the game progresses it tightens up and the boundaries become more finely established you can also capture stones by completely surrounding them on the for  vertical so you can gain territory by capturing the opposing stones on the board and in your partner in crime down here behind the woman is teaching a child how to play yes that's john richards he's one of our most dedicated volunteers we have many volunteers but he teaches both at the go center on tuesdays and also at a
