Err, I'd like to come but a bit shy-lar, since I know NIL about Go (ok make that 0.1%, after reading your blog). Still sounds interesting. Where's the addresss of the Japan club? Hope you can send it to me via e-mail or post it here. Thanks for the tip. Going to check those books your recommended :) Thanks for replying.

Since watching Hikaru, I joined the Malaysian Go club at the Japan club and picked up the game. I started playing with real people but later also played online although I really don't like to play online. Currently, I limit my online games to simply passing time or to test some ideas, plus also socialising and keeping in touch with other Go players. Do you live in KL? If yes, then please do come to the Japan club. We are there every Saturday from 3pm to 8pm and on Sundays, 3pm to 7pm. Saturday is the real day and Sunday do not get many people coming. You can also check out the Malaysian Weiqi Association website for events. Re Go books, I will recommend Cho Chikun's Complete Introduction book although nowadays a lot of information can be found online. I would stake it to say that if you have gone through the online website, the best book to start is actually the Graded Go Problems for Beginners volume 1. Hope to meet you in real life soon ;-) Hi Avatar, really great to have met you here and a fellow bean counter at that ;-)

Just came across your blog and find it fascinating. A bean counter huh, me too! :) Anyway, just dropped by to say hello and wonder how you got started playing Go. I am interested but really don't have any idea where to start. Did you play against the computer or starting going to play with real people in associations? Any good introductory books (just one) out of the many you recommended in your post? Hi!
