frustration in go for a newbie

You bet - it means a lot to me that my writing can actually help people trying to wrap their minds around the game

If you feel like reading a LOT more on the topic, I’ve had these 19x19 FOR BEGINNERS articles up on the forum for a while

All in all, it’s probably somewhere around 200+ pages of content (it’s hard to count, because so much of the space is taken up by images)

Introduction: Making Sense of Go

Part 1: Sente and Gote

Part 2: Settling Your Stones

Part 3: Playing a Balanced Opening

Part 4: Joseki Basics

Part 5: The Stages of the Game

Part 6: Shape

Take your time, please make sure to play through all of the included demo games, and enjoy
