Go?

Have any of you played Go?

I know how to play Go (or Igo). But I am an unranked player who know some openning moves, can play tactics decently, but have a poor feel of strategy (i.e. can guess, but can't determine for certain what is the best move for expansion).

I know how the pieces move, and some opening sequence, but can't see very far ahead, and always forget about paradroppping. The first time I played was with a japanese master. He gave me a tremendous handicap - nothing except the King, Gold and Silver generals, and pawns. It was vey ugly for me...

I've played 2 or 3 games of Go against my uncle, who is a pretty strong chess player. Chess I have no problem with, Go is a totally different story. The rules are easy, the concepts are very deep.

I have just started playing go and have played 3 9*9 and one 13*13 game
against a slightly more experienced friend. It was good fun to play a mental
game without the pressure to meet a certain standard of play that I feel when I
play chess. It strikes me as an excellent game, and it would be fascinating to
really get into it and plumb some of its depths.
