I sort of understand how to play now, but at a super-beginner level. About all I know is that if you surround the other guy's stones, they come off the board. I couldn't really get the overall objective of the game, meaning that if I tried to play, I pretty much made random moves, having no idea what I'm doing, and finally by the time I can "see" anything, it's about the time my opponent takes half my stones off the board. When I learned chess, I could at least see examples of why a tactic worked, but when I search for Go tutorials online, I don't understand why a certain move was made at all, even with explaination. Aside from that, I hear Go programs are extrememly harder to write, so I'm sticking to chess :) Russell
