Brut posted:Yeah I was mostly just trying to get past my peak tiredness due to not wanting to fall asleep, I just found the french thing amusing, speaking of which it gave me the (rating?) "3k?", what does this mean, because now everyone is declining my challenges, time to actually read about the game now though, apparently it is not as simple as Reversi.

GoBob posted:I tried that once. Unless your rank is well known, most people will refuse to play you. Your best best is probably to either play goons around your rank(ranked games) or play a rank bot until your rank stabilizes. Maybe you smell bad.

I think games like Go arguably get less fun past a certain point in skill level. There's a sort of Peter Principle where you can work at improving until it becomes a job and you hate it.

How do people teach Go to would-be casual players? I read somewhere that 9x9 games are the standard entry point, but I feel like 13x13 would be more like "real" Go and therefore more interesting without being too complex/long. I'm trying to lure people in without either boring or overwhelming them. If it matters, I myself am fairly poo poo at Go.

Borachon posted:I like teaching on 9x9 and 13x13, because so much of the early learning process are tactics, scoring, and basics of how stones interact. 9x9 and 13x13 let them do more of that. Is there a good 9x9/13x13 board available on Amazon (that I could throw in with another order for free shipping)?

I figured I'd play the capture game a few times to showcase the basics, and then demonstrate a small living corner black group surrounded by white and explain why the black group has territory and points, while White's "territory" can be invaded and isn't yet real territory. Then just start playing handicap 13x13 (with a couple teaching interruptions) until one of our kids cries and we have to stop. Maybe I should get a 19x19/13x13 board after all. Edit: would be nice to have a small board for work, though. PerniciousKnid fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Jun 1, 2016 |

empty whippet box posted:why do people go on servers and purposefully get their rank low just so they can challenge people that are much, much lower ranked than them without handicaps? Like...why would you do that. It has happened to me 3 times today. It's incredibly obvious when people do this, and it's really frustrating because I hate having my rating tanked like that. Oh well, I guess people will be dicks about literally any game, even go. How do you know it's on purpose? Maybe they just play drunk a lot.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Has anybody got any tips or experience with teaching go to young children? Let me know how it goes! I just play capture go with my toddler a little until she starts making her own stories, usually we fill the whole 9x9. I'm not a stickler on the rules, I figure at that age there's no wrong way to play.

). We don’t have automatic 19x19 match-making yet, but you can use automatch for 9x9, and invite the opponent to set up a correspondence 19x19 game if you want to play big-board.
