I agree. But on the other hand I wouldn't worry about it too much. You get the point across to newbies, and veterans already know what you're talking about without the pictures. The only real danger is somebody who has read the rules but has never played games. (But since you linked to a site with the rules, maybe that is a danger after all!)

Don't worry: I don't know the rules of Go; I went to the site linked; and I could only find a link to a link to a video tutorial, not a list of rules, so I stopped trying.

Well, that's a shame.

Read these or these if you're interested, but only after reading the OP, of course!
