i’ve casually looked at the game of go for a couple years, never getting further than saying “i’d like to learn that.” well, i’ve taken the leap and have started learning. i am by no means good, and i am very much a beginner. i am having fun though. i’ve found a few books to help with my learning.

- the way to go
- go basics
- teach yourself go
- learn to play go
- go for beginners

i hope that one or all of these will start me on the right path learning this game. i’ve also played a couple games on kgs and was very humbled. if you see me on kgs, ask me (legobuff) to play, but please realize i am new to this so do not expect a challenge.

On a whim I picked up a copy of Small Stakes Hold ï¿½em by Ed Miller. I have heard and read many good thing about it. Once finished I will post my thoughts.
