I just started playing online

I'm great at chess, risk and other board games but I am finding this hard to pick up.

Seems like a great strategy game so far

I've played this on my phone before, and have few books on it. Basically you try to capture the most territory. Simple rules, very complex strategies.

I happen to be 2kyu on the KGS Go Server - http://gokgs.com/

I first started learning after coming across this manga - http://mangafox.me/manga/hikaru_no_go/

I've found this article to eloquently express my thought's on the game - Go: Life Itself

Or, in one line:

Quote:"Go is to Western chess what philosophy is to double entry accounting"

I've played before, quite a mind bender. Conceptually it must be the most amazing game there is.

I have always wanted to learn to play this game.

However I have never ever heard it mentioned offline in my entire life.

I feel it would, like chess, be better to learn and play in person rather than online.
