If you want to try out the game or play casually, feel free to join in on the "community game" in this thread. If you want to play a "private game" 1v1, check the poll on this thread and PM someone who indicated interest on the poll. The poll will allow you to change your vote, so if you are no longer interested in 1v1 games, please change your vote on the poll so it stays updated with people who are actually interested in private games. How to play "Community" Go: There are two teams: O's and X's that alternate turns Feel free to join either team during the game. This page explains how to play go (interactive "how to play go"). When it feels like the game is over, start the game over again! There are three board sizes to choose from, and it's okay to pick any of them. Rules: Don't double post. Please alternate turns between O and X. Copy-paste the entire game board and add your new move Click "reply" and remove the quotes Keep the "CODE" tag and set the font to "Courier New" tag to preserve formatting Write your move in words under the game board You can switch teams, but don't troll or deliberately try to lose for one team or the other. We recommend playing this game on desktop because the formatting is bugged on mobile.

My sentiments exactly. It would be better if it's animated game or something graphics, otherwise it's like playing blind go.

Actually the ending of the manga was forced due to the author being sued for using a real person as a character and that person not liking the way they were depicted. It probably would have continued for a while rather than having that open-ended ending......but it was still good.(I would have liked to see it continued though.)

Oh my. I didn't know that! Which one was the real person? Yeah, having that kind of ending was good but I must admit, I more of it. More Sai and more games for Akira and Hikaru! Too bad I can't play this game on mobile. I'd like to give it a try.
