UCC Doubles Down this Autumn
From the UCC Go mailing list…
Greetings and Salutation!
I hope your Summer has gone well and you are all eager to return to the Go Club this coming Autumn.
Below are a couple of things to note:-
a. Clubs day will be the 17th of Septemeber! If anyone wants to volunteer to help out man the stand, do get in touch.
b. We will now have two meetings per week:-
-
Tuesdays (Practice): WGB_G02 from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m.
Thursdays (Lessons): Boole 5 from 6.30 p.m. until 8.30 p.m.
The Tuesday meeting will be a usual meeting for fun , chatting, and playing Go as we did last year.
However, the Thursday meeting will be a bit different. It will be a lesson meeting- where we shall play an episode of Hikaru No Go followed by a magnificently inspiring lesson by yours truly :P The lessons will start from the basics and progress to the various fundamental aspects of Go, e.g. Life and Death, Shape, Influence and Territory, etc… etc…
If you are quite motivated to start now here are some recommendations

A nice online tutorial.
This book is a super read!
Two nice places to play online KGS (for this you have to download an application to play) and NOVA (for this you can play in your web browser). My user name is Seanachain in both, if you see me there, invite me to a game!
Ok, that’s all for now folks!
Cheers,
The Go Club Ensemble
