Go (the game)

Does anyone here play the oriental board game Go? I've got really into it recently...

Although it may sound like a kids game, it actually has a very high level of strategic depth, and I find it really fun.

Here are some links:

Sensei's Library (a Go wiki)

Kiseido go server (known as KGS, you can play Go online for free)

I'm ranked as 16k on KGS, and my username is BAZI... I'm willing to teach/play anyone who's interested.

Oddly enough, this is totally unrelated to my Japan obsession- I discovered it completely independently.

I've played this a couple of times before. Fun game. Yamauchi's favourite.

im up for it can you teach me though?

Yeah, sure. You can sign in as a guest on KGS... or make an account. Let me know your name and when you're online.

Yep, that's the same game. Does the computer play it with you? If so, then you're missing some of the game, as nobody has yet managed to program a computer to play go well.

I'll play this some day. You might have to teach me though.

Good, good. *rubs hands together*

I think whizkid deleted his account before our lesson started.

I fucking LOVE go / iGO

I was even in the norwegian championship some years ago.

But I stoped playing a long time ago.

I recommend the anime series Hikaru no go to any one that likes go or just Anime <3

What rank did you get up to?

I've played Go a few times, but have yet to get really stuck into it. I might try it again sometime.

Go looks fun but Shogi looks more interesting I always wanted to be good at Chess and games like that, but I suck at board games :b

What rank did you get up to?

I don't remember. I'm not very good. I played way to much 9x9 and way to litle 19x19. But If you want a good challenge just PM me.

Okay, I might do that at the weekend.

I've played this game a fair few times, but not recently.
