Go, English, Math
Or brass, hat, and shaft could all sound the same in your dialect, like they do to me. Merry, Mary, Marry. Caught, cot.

Hello!
Thank you! I do have the SmartGo Books app, and I've bought the first two books from the Graded Go Problems series. I'm working through the second.

Hello!
My name's Daniel, and I'm from Illinois. As you might have guessed from my username, I'm an amateur radio operator. I'm also a beginner on-and-off go player (~24k on KGS). (I also play chess, mostly on chess.com.) I principally play on my iPad, but I also have a cheap set, and I'm considering ...

First real goban for a complete beginner?
About a year ago, I bought my first go set, it was one of the ~$30 box "delux go sets". Good enough for learning at home, but the board itself seems a bit too cheap. I'm a bit concerned about carrying it around, say, to board game night. While I'd really love to have a floor goban for my own use ...
