My main opponent right now is my boyfriend (who is also learning the game with me). Nothing we've done has been particularly quick in any sense.

Oooooh I'm so jealous, I cannot convince my man to play with me. It's nice to learn with someone at the same level as you.

Edit: The adage I was told was "To learn go, lose your first hundred games" with the modern addition of "quickly". For what it's worth, I lost my first 57 games on OGS. It is a good way to learn.

Thanks for the actual quote! 👍

That was the advice given to me from my teacher so just passing it along :) I think it means all the options can be overwhelming, so don't overthink it and just play without hope of winning. You'll soon get a feel for what good moves are.

He also lent me a book that helped, so consider doing some reading. I wish I remembered the book's name. There is also this site: https://senseis.xmp.net/

Y'all should also play against other opponents/AI. Intermediate level opponents will help you to grow.

It's an amazing game. Glad y'all found it :)
