I've played it once or twice against a friend who also didn't know how to play. Seems like an interesting game, very deep.

I like how it seems to tap into some preternatural intinct to guard, protect, and incur against other "theoretically" boundaries...
It's like you can see the player's minds working sometimes (maybe if I was better it would be more often), an interesting game to be sure.
I don't know if it's true, I could just be stealing a line from the movie Pi; but people in a movie once said that no two games are like, and thus the game serves as pseudo microcosm for the universe. Either way you should watch that movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/ , and give the game a whirl.
