I have found it to be quite tactical. I have Go books with hundreds of tactical problems in them and these are exactly the sort of things that one must analyse in a game. Games can easily be decided or influenced by tactical mistakes. Of course Go has a strong positional component, but the tactics play a very important role too. It may be true that Go is more positional and less tactical than Chess but that is hard to quantify. cheers, Peter > >Dave
