howdy everyone from italy.
I've known the game of go from years (the aronofsky's movie "pi" firstly introduced me to it when I was more or less 16yo) but I didn't learn the rules until this january: however, I started to play a month ago, just after watching the lee sedol vs alphago match - and as far as I've seen it seems that I'm not the only one, glad to see that it increased that much the popularity of go-.
Since there aren't go clubs in my city, I'm just playing online and at the moment I'm ranked 15kyu. Hope to get better soon while reading the insightful posts here, see you around on the forum!

Welcome.

Glad to have you around! Enjoy the game.
