I used to play a bit of chess when I was younger. Not that I was any good, but I learned enough about it to be able to follow a game. But what always bugged me about chess is that it's so structured and restrictive. It's always the same board, with the same pieces, and it's just not that open ended, relatively speaking.
So I've been looking to train my brain to be less retarded, and I was looking into playing some chess. But I realized that the chink game called Go really seems to be superior. It's simultaneously more simple in it's basic rules and many orders of magnitude more complex in its possible outcomes. With chess they've had supercomputers that can compete with the best human players for years, because they can just brute force theirr way through all possible moves. With Go they've only recently developed AI that can top the best humans, and only because of some really impressive strides that have been made in neural network structures.
For the past few days I've been mucking around trying to learn Go, and I'm gonna be honest it's making me feel like a drooling idiot. My chess experience is basically useless for this game. Does anyone here play Go, and if your do, how the fuck do I get into it? I've been playing some "easy" AI games on my phone, and I legitimately have no idea what's going on, despite spending hours trying to learn. Help? Please?
