Best online resources to learn the game go. (self.asklemmy)

Like the title says! I got a Go board and stones for an early Father’s Day present, and now I’m trying to find a way to learn the game with my kids online. Any suggestions?

Go is fairly straight forward to get started with so imagine most resources will suffice especially if they have some interactive elements; example: https://www.learn-go.net/

Also recommend covering part of the board at first to make a smaller 13x13 or even 9x9 board to learn on as the full 19x19 can be quite daunting for someone completely new to the game.

Also try not to stress about winning too much at first; just play a lot, lose plenty and you'll naturally start picking up some of the patterns that tend to form as you play.

We actually have a new Go community here on Lemmy! Go - Weiqi - Baduk. We have some resources over there to get you started.

Go-magic.org and their videos on YouTube are great. We have links to those in our sidebar along with several others.

https://online-go.com is the place to play online for beginners. Its got apps for ios and android, and its web interface is quite nice. They also have some training stuff on there!
