Hi! I've finally decided to register after lurking for so long. I'm quite new to Go, having only played a few games against a computer, all on boards smaller than 19x19. Go is a surprisingly interesting game, originally I thought it would be tedious, but actually turned out to be quite fun. I loved learning about its sheer complexity in the number of possible games, yet simplicity in actual gameplay. Unfortunately finding people where I am who even know about the game is difficult enough (in everyday life), let alone finding someone who plays it. |

Welcome, yasher175, you may want to check out your country’s Go Association (if there is one), usually they have a page where they list Go clubs and/or individual players who have registered with them. If you tell us where you live you may even get replies from people near you … anyway, it is real fun to play IRL, and since Go can be quite contagious, maybe you will find that you can even initiate a Go club in your area if there is not already one. Also, Go associations often support local Go clubs with materials — of course there should usually be at least one member of that association. Enjoy your journey into Go, as painful and gratifying as it can sometimes be Cordially, Tom <edit> And what EdLee says: Tsumego! I for one love ’em, always have Tsumego open on the iPhone on my desk in front of my main computer and whenever I need a little braintickle, I go through a few and I believe it has made me somewhat stronger than I “deserve” to be (since my strategy still is quite bad): in the late midgame I often win games that before I had lost in the opening and early mid-game; this I attribute to successful “tsumegofication” of games </edit> |
