New to GO and looking for a teacher

[Rob89]

Hi all,

I am new to Go (began playing yesterday). I could really use someone to help teach me some basics. I have done some of the beginner puzzles so I am not completely clueless, but I am a terribly weak player!

Thanks!

It helps to learn a little bit of the… vocabulary first. A teacher can put these things in context later.

I need someone to help teach me!

Out of all people to impersonate, I doubt this one is a good pick. xD You should probably walk the path of every online Go player known to man: Complete this course: http://playgo.to/iwtg/en Do lots of beginner’s tsumego the right way Read introductory Go texts Familiarize yourself with the concept of shape Memorize and replay pro games to get an idea of proper game flow

Welcome to hobby!! Welcome to OGS too . I’ve prepared some helpful resources for new players. Take a look at this post, which links to two related helpful posts. Feel free to ask for some advice on specific games here. Just post a link to any game you have questions about are unsure about (no question is too basic!), and folks are usually happy to give some pointers.

If you want a teaching game and if you are OK with correspondence, feel free to send me a challenge. (9x9 makes most sense.)
