in case you or anyone was curious, the "haya-" from hayago (早碁) is just the same character in the word for fast: hayai (早い), so hayago is literally just "fast go." i really liked your interpretation though 😂

There’s a guy in NW US, Rory Miller, who writes (and teaches) about applied MA. I haven't seen him in a while, but he says that moves in MA do 3 things: defend, attack or better your position. If your move only does one thing, you have an issue.
