Go, as it’s commonly known in English and Japanese, is an ancient board game of strategy common all over the world. Go wiki: https://senseis.xmp.net/ Play go online: https://www.gokgs.com/

I have created a new community as I recently saw there isn’t an existing community for go, the ancient Chinese board game of strategy.

    Sweet, I love go even though I’m awful at it. Need some good book / learning app recommends.

      I love it too - I’ve actually been teaching westerners Go for seventeen years now - but I’ve done very little playing outside of this context. I’m not very good either :p

        those who can’t do, teach

        (ps. i think the idiom is bs. being able to teach is a gift and i’m sure you’re way better at the game than you think :sparkling heart:)

          I’d like to say I’m competent in the game but I don’t really understand joseki and couldn’t compete with a real go player. I play on the Kiseido Go Server sometimes but I don’t usually do very well :p

          Also thank you! I’ve easily taught more than a hundred people to play go. I used to teach a class regularly at my university’s Japan festival.
