Anyone play? I just started picking it up within the last day or so. If anyone is good or decent and wants to play some games with me hit me up, I want to get better.

Are you referring to the far eastern board game?

If so, I'd be happy to play against you; I wasn't that great at it, though. In my prime I was something like a 15kyu but now I'm probably around an 18kyu.

Bird probably means the board game Go. Much older than chess, much harder to master. Humans masters still kick the computers butt at Go, unlike chess. Go is a great game, but nobody plays much here (America).

I run "The Many Faces of Go" software. There is free stuff at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnugo/download.html. This is GNU (Gnu's Not Unix) project. Don't know the current status. But finding a program to play against is highly recommended. Play 9x9 over and over until you start to get the idea. The full 19x19 games take a while.

As for book the Ishi Press books are great. "Lessons on the Fundamentals of Go" is a great starter book. The game is easy to burn out on. SO many openings and, like chess, it takes years and years to really get good. Just as tactical as chess, but lots more strategy.

The classic intro pamplet "The Way to Go" is now public domain.

Yep, I was talking about the board game Go. I would play chess also that, that would be fun.

I've been playing a bit on yahoo games since its easy to find people to play against, PM and ill give you my AIM or get at me on IRC and we can play chess or go anytime.

CGoban is a good Go client. It uses KGS (Kiseido Go Server) which is also pretty good, imo. Ranking system and all that stuff ftw.

Just (sorta) played a game with birdeh.
