PS - As a new player, I found some Go jargon quite confusing.  The real-world analogies seemed intractably paradoxical.  How could Black's shapes be "thin" and simultaneously "heavy", while White's usually were "thick" yet "light"?

Somewhat recycling previous jokes:
How many Black players does it take to change a bulb?

(They can't -- too heavy to climb the ladder.)

How many White players does it take to change a bulb?

(They don't need to -- they're already light.)
