Life In 19x19

I've decided not to make a go club yet, just wanting to see how many players are in my local area before I even attempt

If I recall correctly Pike county is in eastern KY. I would be very surprised if there were any other players there. In the days before the internet I had to take two separate three-year breaks from the game when I lived in such remote locations.

Well, taking Pikeville as your starting point, the nearest AGA clubs are a little far.

Maybe you can find people by posting messages on bulletin boards (the actual physical kind with pinned bits of paper) but a rural, remote area is just about the worst place to expect lots of go players.

Don't expect to find a lot of people, though. It's a pretty rare hobby, around 1 out of 50000 to 100000 people seem to play it.

The pinned bits of paper idea was a loss a year ago, so I thought posting here would be a bit easier of a target

Yeah, small towns are not good for uncommon interests.

I would probably die without internet and mail order to keep me a little connected.
