Nice, first time I try this game... Guess I am not a natural.. It's not like othello/reversi haha.

Awesome! I've always wanted to try this game so this is a good breezy intro.

Awesome !! Some month I'm trying to find a free game to learn playing Go with my young son.

Thanks for this !!

Doesn't score correctly. Playing stones in your own territory adds to the score in the site, which is incorrect.

I've done a little volunteer go education with kids. as purist I wonder if drawing things out (especially the atari frowny faces, but even the squishy part ) wont build some bad habits around not thinking things through yourself.

but I can't take myself very seriously. I think its much better than the 'capture' approach where we dont explain any rules except surrounding, and the first capture wins.

lovely idea.

It is always funny to see the brain force a context switch. Clicked the link thinking this was going to be about golang.

Nope, go game.

Thanks for the pleasant surprise.
