This is a question for everyone. In your point of view, how will this 5 game match affect the world of go? Do you believe that this will lead pros to try more interesting variations (perhaps a shin shin fuseki era)? Also, just in general, the mindset of how pros approach the game, I feel, would change a lot(not sure how though.) Do you guys have any thoughts on the matter? Will this parallel the way chess went post-deep blue?
Also, for the pros, what propelled you to try and become a pro? That's an incredible commitment, and I'm interested in what kind of childhood you guys had. Especially Michael, moving to japan to become an insei? That's really cool!
