Do you know how the play the game "Go"?
    #22458691 - 10/31/15 05:52 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

This game:




Hardest game in the world... Hitler forced his generals to play this game to keep them sharp.

The goal is to control the most territory by surrounding your opponent's stones in order to take them of the board as he puts them

I've been playing lately and I have come to the conclusion:

1) It is hard as fuck
2) It requires a hell of a lot of thinking
3) I can't win against the easiest computer on the smallest board
4) I have no idea what I'm doing...

God dammit this game is hard. Got an app for my phone... Can't win. The computer constantly outsmarts me every fucking time no matter how many I undo my moves...

I don't think I've ever played anything that requires so much brain power just to put a fucking stone on a board...

There are rules and moves I can't understand yet. It's like chess on steroids and meth. You have to think 20 moves ahead....

So yeah.

Ever heard of or played this game before?

Interesting. Crazy how simple games like that can be so difficult.

Sometimes I like to imagine nations going to war and the winner is whoever can best eachother in a game of chess.

:lol: The funny thing is that computers SUCK at playing Go. They'll curb stomp any novice but they probably won't beat even an intermediate player. It takes sooooooo much longer for a computer to calculate all the variable moves and choose an appropriate one compared to say...a chess game. AFAIK no computer program has ever beaten a top level Go player without a massive handicap in place whereas they managed to beat Gary Kasparov at chess using hardware from 2 decades ago.

"I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

Go is a great game. I took a class on it in 8th grade. Never played since, but I had a blast at the time and I got pretty decent at it. Maybe I'll give it a shot some time. It's a great game, much more strategy oriented than chess, checkers, or backgammon.

That looks like a game called Reversi that I used to play a lot.  I was really good at it, I think it was a 9x9 board?  It's been some years...

Looks like it, but it's totally different.

Go is the only board game I occasionally enjoy. And since I only play once in a blue moon, I suck at it.

Its a good game, I play it occasionally. I like games with simple rules that are tactical as fuck. I'd like to play more but I have to teach all of my opponents because no one knows this game :lol:

Alright, so I watched a few videos and played a few tutorials. I'm starting to get a basic understanding of the strategy involved. I now understand why I get killed everytime I play. Good start...

Mastering that game is pretty much a lifetime achievement...
