The analogy is a very appropriate one.

If the OP spent a month learning Go, I am sure that it would make sense to him as well. Work through a series like https://senseis.xmp.net/?LearnToPlayGoSeries while playing Go regularly against a variety of opponents. Before book 3 it should be obvious.

I'll have you know that I'm a 15 Kyu Go player.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I'm well past "spend one month" learning the game.

I don't mean to offend you, but it seems you've been doing something wrong -- in my opinion, in more than a month you could've advanced much further than 15k.

If you like, I could have a look at several your lost games and maybe suggest how to improve. Just a 3k at kgs, but still.

15kyu? One can easily reach that strength after 1 week. Some ppl become pro age 9

And some people by the age of 9 learn how not to be mean to other people.
