How ever did I get by with just Korschelt and a couple of patient people at a club?
There is so much. But ultimately you have to take your fingers and place stones on the board. It's easy to forget that.
What if the useful links for beginners are too advanced?

Re: What if the useful links for beginners are too advanced?
Sorry, need to correct myself:
What I'm pleased with is not Capture Go (will try that with the Hactar App), but the link from lightvector
https://www.crazy-sensei.com/location=rules.
Which does the same as Knotwilg suggests, play for maximum pieces on the board.
[url]on a VERY SMALL board, like 5x5 or 7x7 with the objective to END UP WITH MORE STONES ON THE BOARD THAN THE OPPONENT
[/url]
There are multiple captures, and I try to win, then try to win with the smallest number of moves.
@ Calvin Clark: I agree this would be very good, too.
But I have no club nor anyone who wants to play Go - the nearest Go club is some journey away (have no car).
I'll certainly go there, but thought it best to know the game a bit before.
It would be fantastic to have a local Go club, like we have two Chess clubs...
Question: Would some of you agree with me that the suggestions on this thread are helpful for beginners, and maybe add them (moderators?) to the list of links for beginners, maybe as "what to do as first steps"?
Thanks!!
