This makes me wonder a bit …

As far as I can tell, about 25–50% of the forum is dedicated to Go strategy and tips for beginners* … and I really really really expected to find some strategy and tips here after reading the thread title, not just your, mh… dedication of this thread. And I think this could be perceived bold as well as as ignorant, especially considering that this is your first post here, with no introduction whatsoever of your person …

Is this thread meant as asking for strategy and tips for newbies? Or did you intend to add your strategy and tips later on?

Nevertheless, welcome :-)


Greetings, Tom

That's ambiguous...

Is it a place for more advanced players to post advice?

Is it a place of discussion for people who are beginners?

Is this a "three cheers for strategy and tips for people new to the game!" dedication?

If it's the former, I have a tip for people new to the game:

Don't worry!

In every sense. :mrgreen:

It helps to read the post properly. This is a thread for stragety, not strategy.

Thank you. Now I have the feeling this was a test, and I missed it—for being fault-tolerant :-D

Find people to play in person as soon as possible. A club would be ideal. We can help you find one. What country are you in?

Yeah right … you could at least have posted a beer, no? :cool:
