bridge is dying. Period. Go/Weiqi/baduk is the game to go!
- mnd999 3y agoNetcraft confirms it
- AdamN 3y agoGo is a 2 player game that is much less social than bridge - similar to chess in that regard.
- blue1 3y agoAlso, there is no randomness in go or chess, unlike bridge.
- mkidd 3y agoGo is a fabulous game (and AlphaGo is a wondrous software—I read the first technical paper immediately). But it's another thing I'd have to do online. Seattle had a go center in the 1990s that still seems to be around. San Diego had a few players who met up in Hillcrest or Carlsbad, both an annoying drive away. Who knows if there are any go players in Salt Lake? My one go playing friend lives a time zone away. It's far easier to find f2f bridge than f2f go. In the early days of Amazon, a call center employee pointed me to a deal on go set shipped directly from Japan. Beautiful slate and shell stones. I haven't played a dozen games on it. I almost feel unworthy of owning it as a perhaps 12 kyu player.
