Lonely Lion

I went to the Evanston Go Club last night, with a chess buddy of mine. There was a good turnout. I watched a few games, and played two games on a 9 x 9 board with a guy named Matt. I still don’t “get” the game. Like, for instance, how to win? It’s a simple game, but there’s clearly a lot going on. I don’t see patterns in it yet, but I’m interested in it enough to take the next steps. Playing last night got me over a couple of really basic hurdles. I just downloaded an upgraded copy of Goban, a Go client (including the GNU Go engine) that lets you play on the Internet Go Server.

Go!
