Hello, Mr. Tomosato. I’m very happy to have this consultation. Thank you.

First of all, is there anyone close to you who plays go? The rules of go are a little difficult, so I think at the beginning it’s best to learn from someone who knows how to play. I also recommend you to look for a beginners’ class.

If both of the above suggestions are difficult for you, you should first of all learn the rules from a beginner’s book. Next, try to find a site on the Net where beginners can play and try some actual games. At first, you may not be able to win, but I believe you will improve little by little.

At the same time, it would also be a good idea to study problem collections and magazines for beginners and to watch go programs on TV. Another basic study method when you get a go set is to replay professional games from move 1. Do it at your own pace.

I hope that you get some good go pals.
