I have started playing Go, and doing some reading about it - what a fascinating game.

If anyone plays and fancies taking a beginner under their wing for a game or two, let me know.

I've been interested in trying it out, but for now I'm staying with chess. How do you play it? Is there any way online to play?

Hari: I am not going to play if it ends up with me drilling holes in my own fucking head.

Jacqui, I can bring a board to easts if you want - not sure we'll have enough peace and tranquility there though...

Fruity - lets play a game in the lamb sometime. I need to have a quiet week or two with new job but will then get it sorted.

MaxW, there is a really cool online, interactive tutorial here which is how I began to learn.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
