Trying to relearn the Game of Go: Need tips and advice
So I was never really good at Go and haven't played in probably a decade. Friend of me wants to get back into it as sort of something for us to do and we agreed to relearn/practice up while we shop for a decent board (I could use paper scraps for what it's worth, he wants a nice wood set) and find the time to play.
Thing is, I suck at the game and I know at one point he was actually ranked (fairly low) in it so I don't really want to walk up and get my ass handed to me. We have a pretty varied community here so I know someone has had to played the game more serious then me. Any advice/strategies for a beginner? |

Bumping this to say that I got this coming Tuesday night free, so if people wanna try to get some games in we should plan for it
I assume somebody knows a good site or one is easy googleable lol. Probably get in discord and start slappin' stones around 9 or 10 server time, or maybe earlier depending on stuff |

I'M SORRY I'M LATE BUT
I would totally be up for playing if you're still interested! I would not say I'm good (I'm about 12 kyu, but I haven't played regularly in a while), but if I'm teaching a beginner/relatively new person, I would be happy to help. I used to play online via KGS, which I like because it's convenient and has useful features for teaching and reviewing games. So if you (or anyone else!) is interested in playing together, definitely let me know. |

Re: Trying to relearn the Game of Go: Need tips and advice
How much do you remember? It might be best for you to ask your friend directly for a tutorial or refresher. I got back into Shogi this way, by just up and playing a few matches with a friend IRL (at Otakon).
No reason not to ask online, and some YouTube tutorials might be nice, but for me at least it's most effective to learn in a real-time environment or you can read that paper about AlphaGo :) |
