And I'm not very good.
I'd say I'm not even 30 K yet.
I'm not sure how I can improve.
Any suggestions?♪

nyanburger` And I'm not very good.

Any suggestions?♪ Well there's a Beginner Room on Kiseido Go Server. You should try that. There are some helpful people there and some might teach you the basics if you just simply ask. Note that they're not always online though. After that you can try playing the bots if you can't find human players. ^^ I try to learn myself by watching high dan level games and playing against people of my level.

I agree with Green Gnome. The best way to learn is by playing with someone who will teach you along the way. Once you feel more confident in your playing, try to find others around the same level as you and just play when you can. ^_^
Cipher also has a thread with Go problems listed. You can go back and look through some of the ones that have been answered already, see how the problem was solved. Maybe even try thinking up answers yourself and comparing it to the answer.

^_^ there are also a list of our guild member's sn on TGS, if you see any of those people on there, you can just ask for a game, sence most of us are beginners here, we are all around the same level.. oh. and 30k is the very beginner level.. I think you would be around 25k.. sence that is the level of people who knows the rouls.. ^^;; I think..

A good Idea for beginners is to play on smaller boards - 9x9 for example. These games develop faster and with that you learn how to fight, make life, and kill. Once you understand the concept of Life and Death well enough, you should then try doing some Life and Death problems goproblems.com has quite a few good ones. If you are good at life and death, then you will waste less moves, and will get much stronger.

I've caught the Go bug. I am not happy in a day which I haven't played a few games, even if only against a computer... but I know there is a lot more I could learn about strategy, opening, joseki, reoccurring patterns...
I wanted to see if I could find an organized group of novices such as myself with which to compare games, and a way to record games played for future study.. kifu looks really inelegant and tedious to work through and computers should make it much easier to replay games.
The best way to learn is to play, and then to look at how you play compared to better people.

there is a proverb that says, "lose your first 100 games as quickly as you can." it means we're all going to lose so why not get it out of the way in the early stages. and dont sweat losing, i still lose a lot and i'm 14k on KGS!

*agrees with ignacio re not sweating losing* The handicap system in go (in theory) means that you'll be losing half your games if your rating is correct, even much later on. (I was 9k on KGS last time I checked.) I find that I learn more from understanding how I messed up in a game I lost than reviewing a game I won.
