Hello everybody,
I'm a french maths student, and I've been interested in Go for some quite a long time.
I've made the step and learned the rules this week, and start to loose all my first games on KGS!
So I've decided to start studying a bit and thus started to read the Janice Kim' series "Learn to play Go"
Is it a good choice to begin with? Do you have further recommendations?
I don't know if I can ask but would a nice more advanced player would have time for a pedagogical match one day ?
Thanks a lot,
In the pleasure of playing against you one day,
Sn0w.
It's Sn0wing!

Re: It's Sn0wing!
you can ask for a teaching game on kgs in the "kgs teaching ladder" room, or if you want to play a slow game (several hours, even days per move) check out the go teacher (a joint account to provide teaching games) on the dragon go server, see here.would a nice more advanced player would have time for a pedagogical match one day
But if you want to get stronger you should also look to play real time games.
I always recommend the series "Graded Go Problems for Beginners". It literally starts off with "capture the stone in atari" type of problems in book 1 and ends with fairly advanced single digit kyu problems in the 4th book, and it covers all types of topics (even the opening).Do you have further recommendations?
Have fun!
