Have your ordinary life and your relationship with go changed on becoming a mother? Consultation Two : Mr. Tasaka My life is now centred on my children, so there has been a big decrease in the time I have for go. (Sob) I can only study in the short period of time left after my child has gone to sleep, but I have a feeling that I can concentrate more than before. Perhaps this is because I know the time is limited. When I have games, I am liberated for a day from child-rearing and housework. Being able to play go makes me so happy that I really concentrate. I’d be even happier if my results improved as well. There are other women professionals the same age as I who have two or three children but are doing well in their games, so this spurs me on to emulate them and do my best.
