Supergrunch Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 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: Wikipedia Rules 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.
AshMat Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I've played this a couple of times before. Fun game. Yamauchi's favourite.
Supergrunch Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 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.
Tellyn Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I've played this a couple of times before. Fun game. Yamauchi's favourite. Gar you beat me to it!
Supergrunch Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 ok im a guest my name is whizkid539 Okay, will be online right now.
Guest Stefkov Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Is this game in 42 ATCs? If so I like this game.
Supergrunch Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Is this game in 42 ATCs? If so I like this game. What's 42 ATCs?
Guest Stefkov Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 What's 42 ATCs? 42 All Time classics on the ds.
Supergrunch Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 42 All Time classics on the ds. 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.
MoogleViper Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I'll play this some day. You might have to teach me though.
Supergrunch Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 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.
DiemetriX Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 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

Zell Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I've played Go a few times, but have yet to get really stuck into it. I might try it again sometime.
Shorty Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 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
DiemetriX Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 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.

fatnickc Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I've played this game a fair few times, but not recently.
