By the way, could you update the player list on the OP? It would be easier to find that way. I mean, if anyone is actually using it... | ||

Found a new resource also: http://internetgoschool.com/audio.vhtml Here you can find some nice audio lectures/lessons (most are not free, I think they run at about 1euro each, but there are some free ones, too) | ||

If we're going by qualitative measurements you can put me down as "quite advanced," though the 5d players are welcome to object to that designation. | ||

The difficulty of a game is not bound by the superficial simplicity of it's rules. It's a pretty arbitrary distinction on your part whether you think the 361 different possible locations on the board is less varied than the 20 different possible pieces and their corresponding moves. In the end, both chess and go have a finite space of possibilities, and playing the game is merely an exercise in traversing the state space. Nothing particularly complex about it if you look at it that way. | ||
