I would like to get that going on here. It is a fascinating game, with a lot of history and skill, maybe we can get Joe Tamargo to post us some top tips Or run some sort of tutorial for fun thing here.

It is portable and known to work well on GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OS/X systems.For human vs human play on a server, try-- http://www.pandanet.co.jp/English/sintro0.htmlThis is the intro page to the first Internet Go Server (IGS). You can simply log on and watch games if you want to. The Go board is very pretty, even if you don't know what's going on. However, if you know little or nothing about the game, you would want to watch a fast game, not a slow one. If you learn how to log onto IGS and want to know how to tell the fast games from the slow ones, just post here.
