Life In 19x19

thanks!

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I've mostly been playing right beside or diagonally from the opponents piece whenever they move to a place that I don't like. But I guess that's a losing battle when I try that, right?

That basic instinct page looks especially useful. I'll study everything on there ...

I'm trying to learn to play go.
I have gone through a couple of games on kgs, but I am mostly trying to practice some 9x9 games on the "igowin" software until I get a little better understanding of the game.

I've been reading about some of the basic moves and strategies and stuff, life and death ...
