Hi, I bought some good go books thanks to reading this forum and the Sensei's Library book reviews. I've played one game on KGS, but that was a while ago.

Reading forum posts and a few guides have given me some ideas, but I think posting on here will help as well.

I have a question already, so I'll post it in the Beginners forum after this.

Thanks. :tmbup:

Hi Yoopa, welcome to the forums. Books and forums can be a good source of insights, but don't forget the most important thing: playing. Have you lost your first 50 games yet? I hope you enjoy your stay here.
