Go is one of the simplest and the most complicated studies I have ever come across. It is said that Go is easy to learn but you can never master it. K Kun stated that Go cannot simple be said to be a game. No game can draw you into its depths and keep your fascination and entrace your senses into discovering everything that Go is. Also called Baduk and Weiqi, Go has span to capture players around the world, this is evident from the variety of players found in the international go servers such as KGS, IGS, Cyberoro among others.
I've been playing since February. This is slight in comparison to players who have played their whole lives and who have dedicated themselves to becoming dans and pros. Yet I can't say that I'm not hooked. I fail time and time again and encounter such bad plays that I am filled with guilt and sadness and frustration and yet everytime I return to KGS and play more.
I've discovered something. Go is about self discipline and inner peace. It allows you to take advantage of your opponent's conflict. Thus Go is not about fighting your opponent but mastering your own emotions. No one can be perfect, thus every go game is unique and comes closer to that one perfect move they call the Hand of God......................every player striving to find their inner peace.........................................every now and then, you reach this peacefullness within yourself, and you play a great game to the point that you know you can win. That exhiliration is unstoppable. It is withing you, driving you forward...............everything feels unstoppable.........

Niflheim represents both light and darkness, of the celebration and distaste of life, of musings and incoherent thought. It is an outlet for personified angst and pessimism with chuckfuls of laughter and smiles.
It is Taka's way of drawing out all the little disturbing thoughts giving rise to nightmares, a way to self reflect, a way to seek solace.
