The flow of the stones

No. I'm not into zen, feng shui, or stone gardens. I'm talking about the game of Go.

Last week I taught A J the rules of chess and she's eating it up. Then I wandered off and actually started learning the 3000 year old art of Go. So I bought some books, bought a board and stones, and sat down to learn.

Having learned the rules I proceeded to the nearest online site to play with my new found knowledge. Talk about being humbled. There is really nothing to the rules. They are simple. So simple a 5 year old can easily be taught the basics. From those basic rules an entire world opens up. It was like a bucket of water being thrown in your face. I have an overriding goal now. To become a professional go player.
