I would love to read something like this! One of my favorite Go books is "Kage's Secret Chronicles of Handicap Go". This is a dialogue between two Go players with different tastes and styles, weaknesses and strengths. Readers are always entertained and learn a lot, just because the informal chatting contains so much useful (though indirect) information on how players "reads" the game. http://www.amazon.com/Kages-Secret-Chronicles-Handicap-Go/dp/0870403869 IM logs on learning Org might tell a lot on how users "reads" their Emacs/Org interface. Good idea :) -- Bastien
