My first game of Baduk (Go)

 

Played my first game of Baduk (Korean word for the game of Go) today

Playing white, my position at the end game was … I suck!
ZERO score, computer was 90.5 … still learning the strategy.
I keep getting confused with the rules for Chess and Gomoku.

My first baduk game

 

At least it is better then losing chess in four moves … that feat is embarrassing.

Being a Mac user I played the game using an excellent free Go program called Goban.

I also purchased an expensive, but hopefully good program for the iPad called SmartGo Kifu
