Learn How To... Play Go: A Beginner's Guide to Rules, Capturing, Strategy, and Confident

Learn How To... is The MentCraft Project's practical learning collection for curious adults who want a clear way into a new subject. Each volume starts with first principles, develops them in a deliberate sequence, and connects explanation with practice so that unfamiliar ideas become understandable, useful, and easier to build on. Play Go begins with the board, stones, liberties, capturing, ko, and life and death, then develops the strategic ideas that make those rules useful in real games. You will work through connections, tactics, territory, influence, opening direction, middle-game fighting, endgame judgment, scoring, handicaps, and practical review, with diagrams and exercises that build confident play one decision at a time. Learn at your own pace, pause over examples, and return to the recaps when useful. The goal is a sound framework you can continue practicing and extending on your own.
