I don’t exactly remember, when I started to learn Go, a few years ago. For me it is the most amazing and beautiful board game in the world. My Zen Teacher, has it learned me and made a own, wooden Go board for me!
If you would like to play Go with me, visit: KGS Go Server, where you can download a client to play online with people around the world and of all ranks. Let me know if you like to play Go with me!
… But be aware: I like to make unlogical, surprisingly and shocking moves…
My beginners tactic to set my stones in „irrestible heart-shaped form“ has never worked, hahaha… You may wonder why my rank (Graphic from KGS Server below) is going so wildly up and down: it’s because I like to play against Dan-Bots, the stronger, the better. Of course without handicap… We will see us at World Championship, hahaha… 
Goodie: Download a High Resolution of the „Model Sheet“ for a Go Board with Stones (Comic-Detail)! Simply print it out and cut out board and stones. Good things take time to ripen, haha… („Gut Ding will Weile haben“)
