Lose your first several games quickly.

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 :)
