1st grader vs 2nd grader--EPIC BATTLE!

There was some fun at the library Go club tonight. After a winter where I was often on my own, lately at least one person (sometimes more) will usually show up to play. Today none of the more regular players made it, but a young boy who lives nearby came in and asked to play. He had played a couple of times before, but I didn't have much confidence in his memory of the rules, so I just played him an even 19x19 game, at which he did a lot better than I expected, and I taught him about eyes and living shapes.

Half an hour before closing time, another young boy who had played a couple of times before showed up to play, and began setting up the board with a 9 stone handicap. I was prepared to play both at once, but they seemed to be hitting it off, so I asked if they would rather play each other.

I had brought my Android tablet along, and used NoGo to record the match, which was fast, and as full of trash-talking and drama as any Hikaru No Go match. Sadly, we ran out of time. Probably the most fun and exciting Go night we've had for some time. ^^

Fun. In the future, they can also enjoy Capture Go,
on different board sizes like 9x9 or 11x11, etc.

This is awesome. Notice the tesuji at 178.

Maybe they learned about ladders at the end!

LOL, must have been a glitch in the recording software. Or my record-keeping.
