Ah, hi... ^^

Post by riddleraven »

Hiiiii, everybody!

My name's Raven and I joined these forums because I want to learn to play Go! I've played it before--online--but I want to learn to play it for real. I'm hoping I can find some help here and then get playing with all of you! :)

Welcome! Depending on where you live, you may be able to find a go club that meets regularly.

Welcomed to L19.

To learn the game, ask questions. The beginner's forum is usually best for that.
Also, post your games to be reviewed in the 'game analysis' sub-forum of the 'imrove your game' forum.
Help make L19 more organized. Make an index: https://lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5207

Thanks for the welcome everyone :)

Hmm, I live near Baton Rouge, LA. I have looked and haven't been able to find any go clubs. :( I've thought about posting an ad in the newspaper looking for players...

Yep, I was eyeing that forum yesterday. I'll definitely post there. As for the game analysis... yikes. That could be embarrassing. But enlightening! So we'll see. Alright, I think it was a good idea to join here!

:O Thanks for looking for me! I never came across that website when I looked! I'm a little leery about meeting internet people online but I'll think about it. It would be really good to get some help in real life with the game.
