These are some tips on how to play well:
- As a complete newcomer firstly take a look at the very basic concepts: life and death, liberties, eyes, ko, komi, cutting, atari, ladders etc. But just like with learning a new [language](human_language.md), don't spend too much time reading books about it: rather invest time in actually playing and try to notice and learn what you read about. You must play many and many games to truly learn the concepts.
- As a newcomer first overview the absolutely basics: life and death, liberties, eyes, ko, komi, cutting, atari, ladders and so on. Just like with learning a new [language](human_language.md), however, do not spend too much time just reading books: invest time in actually playing and try to notice and learn what you read about. You must collect countless games under your belt to truly come to intuitively understand the concepts.
- Double atari is a basic tactic similar to fork in chess: with one move you threaten to immediately take two groups on the next move and the opponent will only be able to save one.
- Oftentimes it happens that a good move is to place your stone where the opponent would want to place it, so think from the point of view of your opponent, it may help you find your move.

- A group that is alive (has at least two eyes and so cannot ever be captured) can serve you as a safe island of stability to which you can connect other of your groups, which will also make them uncapturable.
- When it's clear you'll be able to capture opponent's stones, you don't have to do it immediately, you probably want to leave it for later and first play higher priority moves such as securing other areas of the board, you don't want to give your opponent free moves while you're capturing the group.
