Let's Play Go

Today, I played a good game of chess with my Spanish teacher, and he recommended I try to learn Go as well. Go, from my understanding, is a Japanese or other east Asian strategic board game, simpler in rules than chess but immensely more computationally expensive.

I looked up some learning resources online, and came up with the following good tutorials:

• Online Go Server's "Learn to play Go"
• "The Interactive Way to Go"

I picked up the rules fairly quick and I think I have a decent grip on beginner-level strategery after going through The Interactive Way to Go. I managed to obliterate the "easy mode" computer on the Online Go Server, but I haven't taken the time to find a stronger computer or real person yet.
