I learned go from Edward Lasker’s book 57 years ago, but stopped playing after several dozen games due to a lack of opponents. (BTW, I was thrilled to meet Lasker at the 1976 U.S. Open Chess Tournament.) Was delighted to discover a go group at my library. I had no Idea that go had boomed in the West. I speculate that I was about 10 kyu in my first “incarnation” as a go player based on tsumego I solved in Games and Puzzles magazine. I am a great believer in courtesy. I will never ask for an undo, and I will never quit a game (short of dying). I will resign if I think the situation is hopeless (as a novice, however, I may not recognize that).
