Woo! I have a panel at Fanime!
Learn to Play Go
Go. Over 3,000 years old and the game featured in the popular anime and manga Hikaru no Go. It only has four rules, but their interaction results in one of the most complex games ever played.
Stones are placed singly and in alternating order on the intersections of the board. A stone cannot be played which would result in immediate capture unless it is to capture enemy stones. A stone or group of stones that is surrounded by enemy stones is captured. In certain Ko situations a stone that has captured another stone cannot be immediately recaptured.
Come and walk the path of Kami no Itte!
Anyway, I'll post more info as I get scheduling from Fanime. I'll probably use my laptop + projector to demonstrate, and then we can all play on the computers in the Internet Lounge.
Anyone who reads Hikaru no Go and is going to be at Fanime, come and learn how to play Go! Mail me if you'll be there! I'm only expecting 10 people, but who knows, ne?
