What is your ranking at Go?

Post by BountyHunterSAx »

So I've been playing Go (a strategic boardgame) more and more lately. And it occured to me to wonder how many people (if any) here play Go.

If I had to estimate my strength I'd put myself at around 18/19kyu. How about all of you?

Over nine thousand.

I've played First Capture Go a few times, but have no idea what rankings are.

I've played go a couple times, and I find the game fascinating, but I have no one to play it with so my skills are abysmal.

And no, I don't really want to play on-line. I spend too much time on-line as it is. I'd rather play it in real life, but see above paragraph.

I used to play a lot but don't know my ranking. I would like to play more but right now I do not have the time. I have not played much online since I have a hard time finding players of equal skill on the net. I think it is a very interesting game and I prefer it to chess but I play chess more since it doesn't take as long.

edit: spelling mistakes

If I remember correctly, the AI I used to play on my computer ranked me at around 12 kyu

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.

I'm attending different Go Clubs in my area, as - I agree entirely - playing online just isn't satisfying.
