Life In 19x19

There are the US GO congresses right? I'm wonder that you have this feeling.

Or you guys could visit China, Korea and Japan. Maybe you would have a good game on the pavement with a stranger in a good mood!

Lee chang-ho, Cho hunhyun, Lee se-dol all are brilliant players, especially

Hi guys, I' m back to report my progress. I successfully attracted some attentions. And now I have several beginners, I'm organizing a 9 by 9 board tournament from next week in Starbucks downstairs to get more notice. I would upload some good photos if everything goes well!

Thanks for the Milton Bradley info!

Who is this Milton Bradley???

Hi Darkpolarbear!

Even the great (and late ) Milton Bradley didn't manage to interest the members of the ever sooo smart Mensa Club for go:

Maybe that's a bit of solace.

I'm writing up the "Boley Method" of teaching absolute beginners that starts with these instructions. (I learned it from Chris Kirschner's presentation at the US Go Congress).
I may not have perfected Jon Boley's method, but its essentially what I was trying to share with you when we first met in ...

I don't think it's stronger than igowin on 9 by 9 board

Dudes, I do think your discussion goes too far.

Anyway, I come back to report my progress.

Yesterday I did't find good opportunities to lead the chat with my colleagues to GO.

Then, this lunch, I brought a set of 9 by 9 GO suit to company restaurant. I successfully attracted the attention from ...

We Chinese say it is the time of warlords about GO, and according to the experience from history of China, there will be a King showing up
