![A highlight of Edo Go history was a match hosted by the Matsudaira family in 1840, where he counterattacked Inseki's prized disciple, Akaboshi Intetsu (sent as a challenger), with a series of brilliant tetsujis. The game took a week to play and was so intense that Akaboshi collapsed from exhaustion and vomited blood, dying shortly after.[6] This incident made this match famous in Go history, and it is now called the blood-vomiting game.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreibdfynsxorxt5limzu4y4nw3syaoy5e6ly2zbuaw3pl2juwrjfdbu)
![Comic. The Three Types of Unsolved Physics Problem (First panel) Vague. PERSON [next to curved diagram] What is the nature of time in quantum gravity? Is it a background parameter, a dynamic aspect of spacetime, or an emergent phenomenon? (Second panel) Precise.

![4-panel comic. (1) [Person 2 with white hat stands behind Person 1 who is seated at desk with laptop] PERSON 1: I’m ranked 7,145,000th globally on this chess platform. It’s hard to be ranked that low in *any* activity. (2) PERSON 1: Few pastimes even *have* 7 million rated players. Until the internet, it wasn’t really possible. You could be this bad, but only unofficially. (3) PERSON 1: So in a sense, I’m worse at chess than anyone was at *anything* for most of human history. PERSON 2: Why are you still doing it? (4) PERSON 1: Well, no human has ever had this many friends to play with. PERSON 2: That person is calling you some very obscene names. PERSON 1: Our friendship is complicated.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreibttiz6nmqpook66kcfxofvchkxnjfuc3n5gthpsjnj6wyhmnz27q)
