I avoided 4chan all day, and learned how to play an ancient and venerable game.

What did you accomplish today, /lit/, you stuck up bastards?

Oh, frogposting?

How impressive.

It's either the same day as the day you learned Go, in which case you didn't avoid 4chan all day, or it's a different day, in which case you didn't learn to play the game today.

Your move bitch but those stones look dead to me.

I attended the religious office for the death of a former member of my family. Gave me a lot to reflect on.

Simply "learning" go takes an hour though. What's your kyu ?

Go sucks. It's like chess but the patterns are much easier to learn, and basically someone who is only slightly more skilled at Go will win absolutely every time unless there is an absurd handicap. The game is simply too "solved".

two player board games stopped being interesting to me a long time ago though, I like political board games that involve alliances and betrayal and shit with 4-8 people. that's an actually interesting game.

So ? If anything that makes the game more accessible for beginner. Also what do you call the "patterns" ? There pattern recognition and solving problems of all levels in Go, from the very beginner to the 9th dan.

>and basically someone who is only slightly more skilled at Go will win absolutely every time unless there is an absurd handicap

That's pretty much what the handicap is for (nothing similar for chess btw). And one stone of handicap is already pretty significant.

>The game is simply too "solved".

Pretty close to the opposite of true.

>two player board games stopped being interesting to me a long time ago though
>le I have outgrown your childish hobby meme
>le my hobbies are more interesting than your hobbies meme

So you actually don't like those games but make a point to comment them in a way that makes it looks like your preference is enlightened. Why ? Why post something that makes you sound like a retard but isn't really funny ? Even as a trolling tactic it's pretty boring.

you actually have no fucking idea. go is actually the only classic board game whose top ranked players can beat computer programs. i think you're confusing it for connect 4 or othello lmbo
