Hey kids! Learn to play Go the quick and easy way! Follow these step by step instructions and you'll be winning tournaments in no time at all. Of course, since the game of Go is really an expression of the eternal struggle to find balance between yin and yang forces in the universe, winning and losing can be seen in this context as somewhat outmoded concepts, and in fact there are many scenarios where players help each other...but forget that. Just place a stone on one of the hoshi (which represent the stars in the heavens) or any of the other intersections of lines. Which one may be hard to choose, for unlike chess which has a set number of opening scenarios, go has a nearly infinite number. Now you're playing go! Just remember these simple rules: if your stone runs out of breath it will die! Quick stones are weaker than slow ones! Some shapes are strong and some are weak! Uh oh! Look out Johnny! That shape was dead before you even finished it! Now you're defences have been utterly decimated because of that one stone. Too bad, but that 15 year old student looks like she's willing to kick your ass again, so don't worry! There's plenty of Go to go around! C'mon kids! Lets be go-getters! Let's Go! *

*improper use of go! may result in the following serious side effects: nervousness, insomnia, headaches, eye strain, nausia, sweating, crippling depression, partial or complete loss of self image, or insanity.
