Beginning to understand complicated game (3-2)

I believe the answer is:

get-go

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'beginning' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'understand complicated game' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'understand' could be 'get' (getting is a kind of understanding) and 'get' is located in the answer.
'game' could be 'go' (go is a board game) and 'go' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
