Go

Yes...I imagine when I switch up the opening will be hard to handle.

Very much so. But that is part of what makes it so badass, you can be seemingly random, throw your opponent off guard, and slice your way into a victory.

Thanks for the link. I'll have to give this a try after I complete my move back west.

I played a lot a chess as a young adult and enjoyed it, though it did stress me out because I'd over-analyze everything and like just about anything I do, I tended to take it too seriously (though I never did research how to play it well; I just played "off the cuff"). I haven't played much in my later adult life.

I became aware of Go after reading Shibumi by Trevanian. I even bought a nice board and pieces. The problem was, I couldn't find anyone to play with. When I moved out here to Jersey I gave the set away. But now, thanks to the link, I have the means to pursue my curiosity further when I can afford the time. Thanks again.

I don't understand the rules, but I found a way to win no matter what. I just make a arrow pointing away and it always ends after I place the second marker.
