Re: General Go Discussion Thread
[ QUOTE ]
I have never played 9X9, but that looks reasonable. I wonder how it plays out if you go something like d2 on move 3. It has been a long time since I played go (keep meaning to start again). I would just jump right into 19X19.
[/ QUOTE ]I think it's very important to play on 9x9 at least for a little while for two reasons:
1. The games are quicker so you get in more practice
2. The games are confined so immediate life-and-death tactics are inescapable.
Now gnugo may not help so much for 2, since it doesn't really press like a human player can, though.
