game of Go

a lot of chess players are drawn to the oriental game of Go. Emanual Lasker, former world chess champion, became a big fan of Go, and thought the game was much deeper than chess. any opinions from chess players who are also Go players?

i've had great chess playing friends that held Go in that high regard. i just don't get it. no help from me.

I've been playing and studying the game for a couple of years now and am still at the shallow end of the pool. Chess will always be my first love but this game of Go is something else!

I'm surprised you like Go. Because you offered to Go from the forum if enough posters, who met your conditions, voted openly by post to do so.

This happened, and you never did Go. So this makes me think you don't know what Go means.

Oh sorry you didn't ask for opinions... oh yeah, you did. 😛

BTW Go is a great game, never played it, looks like Crazy Asian Checkers to me. 😕

The student came to the amster and aksed about the best game man made.
the master thought long on this and came up with...chess
"What about Go?" the student asked.
"Oh Go was already there."
