 * How did you become interested in Hex?

I use to play a lot of 9x9 go games in LittleGolem and one day I decided to try some different games. Hex was one of them. Also, having read A Beautiful Mind I thought the game may be interesting.


 * Why did you decide to start pursuing it more seriously?

I used to be a bad loser (not anymore :) and wanted to improve my rating, then I found the simplicity and concept of the game very appealing


 * Before you started playing Hex, having only heard about it, what did you think about it?

Another board game without any deepness or players.


 * Did it turn out to be anything like you expected it to?

No way, it's a really deep game (not as deep as Go, but as nice) but with really simple rules. As Edward Lasker said, I think that if there exists other intelligent life forms, they may be playing Go or some connecting game like Hex.


 * What could we do to make Hex more popular?

Playing with friends, letting people know something about it. Also, University clubs may be a great source of players in some situations.
