I've been playing Go (the board game) for a while now and I really enjoy it. I just got back from the US Go Congress. I wrote a blog post about it (https://blog.urth.org/2018/07/29/my-u-s-go-congress-trip/ https://blog.urth.org/2018/07/29/my-u-s-go-congress-trip/). For more info on Go, check out: * Learn the rules - http://www.usgo.org/learn-play http://www.usgo.org/learn-play * Online Go Server - https://online-go.com/ https://online-go.com/ - my personal favorite place to play online (other servers are not Linux-friendly or their software is awful) * /r/baduk (Go = Japanese, Baduk = Korean, Weiqi = Chinese) - https://www.reddit.com/r/baduk https://www.reddit.com/r/baduk There's been a lot of progress getting computers to play Go over the last few years, and it's only about 2 years since we've had a computer capable of beating professionals (Alpha Go).
