The rules are simple! More difficult struggle on the field 19x19. The main thing to start. To achieve perfection takes many years. Professional players are not working they only play! But it is really useful for the development of the brain. it is best to read the rules on the official site and also learned to play! There are many books and brainteasers to games. My advice to you is do not try to play online against other players. As long as you learn to solve puzzles. I have a lot of applications on the phone. And on the computer! but live have more fun if you play these stones. I wish you success in your endeavors. see this
