Thanks and yes! She is still too young (only 2) to learn the rules. She only likes trying to draw a picture of her favourite cartoon over the board with stones :)

I think some people have had success teaching young kids, but I don't know of anyone that has taught Go to a 2 year old. Migeru tried it: http://senseis.xmp.net/?JonathanHelis

GoChild is an application to teach Go to young kids, but I'm not sure how young: http://www.gochildgame.com/en/index.htm

Also, welcome!

Just to put things into perspective, even top-class pros didn't first learn Go until they were 5 or so. Actually I don't think I've ever heard of a pro who learned Go as young as 3.

I'm not saying she'll be able to completely learn the game at 2 years old. I'm just saying kids start learning much younger than we typically think they do, so no reason to wait.
