Go Evangelism
   

From Miriam-Webster:

 Main Entry: evan·ge·lism
 Pronunciation: i-'van-j&-"li-z&m
 Function: noun
 1 : the winning or revival of personal commitments to Christ
 2 : militant or crusading zeal
 - evan·ge·lis·tic  /-"van-j&-'lis-tik/ adjective
 - evan·ge·lis·ti·cal·ly  /-ti-k(&-)lE/ adverb

Go Evangelism certainly doesn't fit the first definition above, but it comes close to the second one.

My problem is, nobody seems to want to listen when I come at them with crusading zeal! Perhaps we need to press against a weak stone to attack a strong one (or in other words, crusading zeal is equivalent to coming on too strong).

  • What is the best way to go about Go Evangelism so people will listen?
  • What is the best way to bring Go into the community when starting from scratch?

I have the Crusading Zeal down pat, but not the community outreach.

tywin: Your best bet is to find a chess club that meets in a public place and start playing go nearby. When anyone asks, make snide remarks about the inferiority of chess, then hit them with the crusading zeal. If that doesn't work, then at least you got to bash some chess players :)

I have started taking go books to chess tournaments, the next step is to take a goban and pay through games. It does get people interested.
