Go is even weirder. Because when I play Tic Tac Toe, I never make mistakes. When I play chess, I make a mistake every several turns. But when I play Go, every single move I make is a mistake.
The first dozen or so times I played Go, my friend that was teaching me had to tell me not just how I'd lost, but that I'd lost. Until it clicks, the scoring and strategy is so unintuitive that you just have no concept of even how well you're playing. With chess at least it's usually pretty obvious when you're getting your ass kicked.
