Anyone here play? If not, it's an ancient board game where two players take turns placing a stone onto a wooden board with intersecting lines. You can surround enemy stones to capture them, but the main goal is to surround empty board space which counts as your territory.

I tried playing/improving at go, but I'm kind of stuck around 15-17k. It hurts my heart and brain when I see players under 10k. I can't seem to improve at Weiqi. I named my cat after the board game which I loved at first, but hated to confront my lack of genius for it.
Here's my profile:
21 wins vs. stronger opponents 64 losses vs. stronger opponents 42 wins vs. weaker opponents 25 losses vs. weaker opponents

I'll play you, but if you're too good, you might just be bored with me.

You can play my seven year old son if you like! But I must warn you he has taken weiqi classes for about 3 years now and if I am stupid enough to try an match him utterly humiliates me!
