No one has replied, and it is like a month!

It was the other way around for me. I started watching HnG, because I play go. That is how I got into anime.

Everyone suck at it so bad when starting. I can't believe I use to play the way I did. How could I not read such simple thing, and when I get a lot stronger then now I will think the same thing about how I play now.

Well there is no suck think as sucking at go. I hate it when new player say that they suck. If you are at 30 or 20 kyu that is just your level of play. Now matter how high you go up there will be someone stronger. Go is easy and difficult at the same time. Hikaru no go does not really show that.

I learned Go before watching Hikaru no Go and I could actually understand what was going on while Hikaru played his games.

What was your rank that you could actually understand what was going on?

Here's a pretty good website if you are interested www.pandanet.co.jp/English/. It covers the basics to the intermediate.

Also you can download their program and play online with literally thousands of ppl around the world.

Yes and no. Knew the rules and owned a cardboard board and set of little platic stones and played mostly 13x13 games. After falling for Hikaru no Go, played more and got a bit stronger (best ever was 12k but now I'm more like 24k). These days I mostly solve tsmego.
The further one goes, the less one knows.

Yeah, I started playing thanks to HnG. I just joined kgs a couple days ago actually and right now I'm at 17k, but I've won almost every game fairly easily, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna keep climbing the ranks steadily.

(for anyone who's interested, my kgs username is Bushido890.)

I went to a Go panel at Katsucon this year and learned the basics of the game. I didn't play a full game of Go, but rather something called "first capture". the Go instructor there said that First Capture is best if you are a beginner. I actually did really well with it, so the instructor said. I really wanna play more of it but I guess I'll have to wait until I go to another anime convention ^_^

Lol, I played Go before I started Hikaru no Go. I started the anime because I already liked Go, basically. I don't play a ton though I think I'm like 18k KGS.

Fascinating game! I'm 3k (on KGS) and can't live a day without doing something Go-related. I've even managed to organize a Go club in my town, so it's even more like in Hikaru No Go. ^_^

I started reading Hikaru no Go while I was still collecting Shonen Jump. I first heard about Go from Hikaru no Go and when I found out there was a Go club at my school, I joined with a couple friends. ^^

Hikaru makes go look so easy but when I started playing after I read the manga it was so hard to win. By the way what is kgs?

Same with me, watching HnG made me start to play Go on Yahoo! although I'm not really good at this, though.

I was 10 when I forst watched it, so after trying for a while, I just got tired of it and stopped. It didn't help that there was no one to play with and my mother got bored of it even more quickly than me.
