I know you could own the vast majority of us but it would still be interesting to see how horridly you take advantage of all the mistakes we make Nono I suck :D I started playing in like.. 2006, then GroT wanted to learn Go so when I introduced it to him, he introduced me to poker.. You can guess the rest of the story.
I've barely played since then haha :D Might try to play a bit again..

argh, Micronesia raping us at 9x9.
if you guys want some light reading go here http://x86.sk/~toxygen/Go/
Learning to Play Go series is easy reading, elementary go series is thick. Cho Chikun's life and death is good for learning how keep and kill groups. Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go is good too.

I'm about 5d on KGS, would be happy to play or teach anyone, maybe in exchange for some BW coaching?
Edit: My current nick is "forbidden" on KGS
|
I'd like to get in on this. I've never played though. I've only done go puzzles.

You definitely should recommend Hikaru No Go as well. ;D

(He does recommend it or at least I saw it somewhere )
I really didn't like this anime. Found it boring. And for learning go it's useless. It doesn't talk about the actually strategy involved, you just watch the players develop throughout the series as they become competitive.
The only thing this would be good for is vocabulary, maybe not even that. And IMO there are better ways to learn it.

If you already know some go then it's pretty useless from a learning standpoint, but that's not who it is recommended for.

By the way people have been really helpful with reviewing games and providing tips; feel free to ask anyone if you want help.
