I'm not a good go player at all, but the board position seems a little unnatural to me. But it could be my lack of experience. Over the last few decades, there have been may movies and television shows where a chess board appears in some scene with perhaps someone player a game. These are almost always WRONG in some obvious way. For instance someone plays a move and announces check. Then the response is a checkmate! Possible, but highly improbably. Very common is the king and queen on the wrong squares or a pawn on the 1st rank or something else really silly. Although a king and queen could move to these squares, it's extremely unlikely, especially near the opening. - - Don Richard J.
