Let the journey begin

I got interested in Go once again, so I’ve decided that Kerwin’s Road Map for Beginners is the way to start studying.

Lesson one is good for 30 days.

    play more fast games. In fact, it isn’t even necessary to play go; you can play a subgame of go called the capture game. The rules of play are identical except that the winner is the first player to capture a stone.

    Don’t ask for any advice or comments on the game at this point, just say, “Thank you, I appreciate your playing me” and then ask someone else and lose again.

    When you play, spend your time making sure you know which stones are connected and form a group and which are not.
