Weiqi (Go)

No that I taught my girl Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) I’m getting greedy and I want to teach her Weiqi (Go).

I guess I need to be careful that I’m not transmorgifying my general acquisitiveness for games into forcing her to play different new games all the time.

That said, I think she did enjoy playing Xiangqi. She didn’t really enjoy the initial teaching part, but she did like moving pieces around and eating my pieces that I offered up to her by purposely bad plays.

Even though I’m naturally quite bad at Xiangqi, at least I’ve played it quite a bit and know how it works. But Weiqi is not a game I’ve played much, so I guess I need to play a bit online and then once I’ve at least gotten the rules worked out, then I’ll drag out a chess board (9×9 vertexes) and we’ll see where it goes.
