"somehow inferior".. this implies that chess being inferior to go is completely unthinkable (just like everything else i've said in this thread (did you read it or skim through it?) your other 2 posts are both from threepool and he has clarified his position multiple times, saying that he's just pointing out differences in nature between the 2 games, nothing to do with either being superior.. | ||

But yea, I'm definitely interested in this board game, I remember like 4-5 years back, I finished the entire series of Hikaru no Go PLUS all manga chapters (just b/c I sort of enjoyed the plot and had an interest of Go) though I haven't really play Go as much but rather as a viewer type.... I did play Go several times at yahoo.com (the only place I thought Go existed for me to play) and I did win games here and there then lost here and there but hopefully know the basics... (I mean I did watched freaking 90? eps of Hikaru no Go) so........ yea, put me down as newbie for now.. | ||

One of my favorite things about Go tournaments is that sometimes you can get people to make that "ngh!" sound that everybody in that series makes in response to a really good move. | ||

Just a quick question, a TL Go Group is really nice and all but I was wondering if you guys are planning for some sort of event or competition/tourny in the future??? Although playing Go online is fun, I always prefer those actual board and face to face with my opponents in a quiet room where tensions appear between 2 people.... | ||

Anyway, I dled this program where it has a practice game with a comps where it goes down the level as you get better but for some reason I just can't seem to beat pass 16k (I did just by luck only to lose and go back to 18kish)..... So does this mean my level should be around there??? Dammit, I would think I was better... | ||

Anyhow, I meant San Francisco. Are you talking about Igowin, QuickStriker? I'd be wary about deciding my rank based on any computer program, but Igowin in particular is usually way off. You should spend some time on KGS to get an accurate rating. But just so you're not too demoralized: if you really feel you're a "newbie," you definitely should not expect a rank stronger than about 20k. | ||

If you are new to the game just ask in the room and we'll answer any questions you have, and if your not new where else can you talk about the latest honibo title and the OSl at the same time? my last reply still applies pretty much, not as active as it was during it's frst few months but we are still in the teamliquid room. | ||

Any TLers still play Go actively? it'd be great if I could spectate or something, or maybe you guys could stream like how some people stream chess. | ||

There used to be a baduk.tv stream that was regularly running for free. I believe now, it is pay-per-view to the person who is restreaming it. Pretty weird, but it's out there. I doubt it's worth it, something like 10$ for only one week pass. Wait, let me rephrase, it's definitely not worth it. The owner was restreaming it through ustream last I remember. I do not know about what it is using now. | ||

I'm sure I posted about Go on another (or this?) thread somewhere, but I am also player who just escaped newbie status. | ||
