In the first game, I was insulted for making what were considered dumb moves. With the same level of understanding, I tried playing against a real person who was also a beginner.
I was hoping to find the answer by playing against the computer on the easiest level, but every game ended with the computer completely filling the board with its stones. I created an account, went through the tutorial, but still felt unsure about the rules, especially when it came to counting points. According to the internet, online-go seemed like a good starting point. I checked out card games like MTG or board games like chess and came across Go. I was looking for a game that my girlfriend and I both have zero experience in, so we'd be on the same level playing field.
