Baduk (GO) on Korean TV (KBS1 - On Saturday Afternoons)

[BlackSN8K]

And this game is much much more boring than chess.

[WOok2a]

I know the rules to this game. I still don't know 90% of the time why they are putting their stones in the places that they do. It like a mile off from where the action is and commentator saying "whooo perfect move" 0.o

[Liam126122]

I agree

[fumbles40]

choi cheolhan :)

[greenghost2008]

I still have no fucking clue how to play this game.

[djgukfan]

@greenghost2008 There are tons of references on the rules of this strategy game - try Google. It is still fails you, take a trip down to your local and have a few pints!

[polychronio]

@greenghost2008 this game is much much more complicated than chess(which also come from east asia)...

[leontd]

Awesome game, but it can be very addictive and be deleterious to individuals health if overplayed

[bauisakim]

Anybody know where i can watch this online? I would really love to watch more 9 dan players.

[djgukfan]

@bauisakim If you have access to South Korean TV - KBS1 then you can. That was where I captured this video clip from. Good luck!

[djgukfan]

@bauisakim There are tons of references online, try Goggling...If all fails, take a trip down to your local pub and have a few pints.

[kincaid4212]

where is the star points? koreans dont have that?

[nerdotron]

best weiqi baduk go players are chinese and korean.

[mm2200]

Where can I find an sgf of this game?

[Salocin27]

is this more interesting to watch than football or is it just me?

[djgukfan]

@Salocin27 Haha! Nope, I am with you. This world football competition is very poor and boring!

[Xentradi97]

I don't get it... how does this work?

[TheouAegis]

At least Koreans are nice enough to count with Chinese characters. White is 7 dan, black is 9 dan. That's all I needed to know and it's conveniently in Chinese script. =D

[Commandos12]

we (the chinese) should tax other countries for playing this >:3

lmao the boardgame tax hahaha i love it X3

[Dante31]

Well, considering that the Japanese made the greatest contribution to furthering the game it is questionable who should tax who.

[polychronio]

It matters if you know corean, because commentators explain what's going on and they are better than us.

[thesunissecretlyblue]

if you know the game well enough you dont' need them to explain lol

[polychronio]

@thesunissecretlyblue/ yeah if you are pro which i don't believe you are.

[thesunissecretlyblue]

I was.. just.. kidding o.o

[AuroraExcutio]

Does anyone has the full kifu of this game? Or just give me a date or the player's name.

Thanks.

[barcher]

White is Kim Ju Ho. (7 dan)

Black is Choi Cheol Han (9dan)

[AuroraExcutio]

Thanks, do you know the date of this game? Becaues I want to see the kifu.

[barcher]

No, alas.

[sugob4321]

Kim Chu-ho, 7d - Ch'oe Ch'eol-han, 9d, B+R (Komi 6.5)

25th KBS Cup, Winners' Section, Round 3, 2006-06-05

[ninjapie]

I loved this show so much when I lived in Korea. Most relaxing tv show ever. It's funny how the girls always sortof just... stand there and show reverence to the male presenter.

[calamaro1986]

Grande DalZovo, fai bene a giocare a questo Faaaaantastico gioco!

[BrendanPanFlautist]

anyone wanna play on Panda? I'm 3 dan

[JerryKitich]

thanks for posting this, Korean sounds a pleasant language

[kincaid4212]

@JerryKitich japanese ftw

[anagodragon]

white is seven dan

black is nine dan

just fyi. ;)

[VeeckyDa12one]

if you want to play online you should play on pandanet

hfgl

[ginnomiti]

고맙습니다

[greentrigger]

Yeah thanks.

[greentrigger]

Is this on any Sky channels? XD

[djgukfan]

Not to my knowledge "greentrigger". The above video clip was recorded from a S.Korean TV channel (KBS1).

Try to view this channel online and you might be lucky to catch this programme. It is normally shown on Saturdays if I remembered correctly.

Hope that helps.

[Mystl]

is there a programm to play go online or single player? (for free)

[twiddle7125]

kiseido go server (google it)

[twominutepenalty]

IGS Pandanet. Also comes with gnugo, a computer program you can play offline.

[chefkoo]

if you don't want to download a client, you can play on yahoo.

[djgukfan]

Hmm!cyberic853 thanks for reply, you are entitled to your views. What I objected to was the bad language you have used in your first comment.

[Korsair777]

doesnt look good for white at the end, hes getting cut pretty badly

[milkbubbles008]

Go Rules!!!

[louyu1986125]

围棋是韩国人发明的·0·

[inteep]

you should watch the movie Pi if you like Go. They make the spiral pattern like in PI on the Go board.

[ShadowGeassKnight14]

I wish Go was way more popular in the US, it's a really fun game. But unfortunately, the US doesn't have the patience to play. Well, most of them, anyways XP

[dstrbo13]

dude i wish i was korean or something cause showing this shit on tv is fucking awesome, id totally watch it

[SiKedek]

A much more difficult game than chess, just because of the vastly wider possibilities for "next moves". I bet chess masters would turn insane if they were made to play a single match of go/baduk/weiqi ;)

[sw0mgt]

Edward Lasker didn't... in fact, he was one of the creators of the American Go Association. I know it's tempting to bash Chess when Go is such a beautiful game, but do your best to say things that make even a little bit of sense.

[adamkb8jr]

Yeah I'm sure Chess masters would lose there minds if they played one game of Go.

Get real idiot.

[RokushoGX]

yea wonder why only asians play go

[djgukfan]

That is not true RokushoGX - Europeans be it a small number play GO too, I guess they prefer computer games.

[twominutepenalty]

I play (not very well, but I play). Half the people on the server I play on are Western!

[KenAurther]

i play online also because its so hard to find someone here to play with. but i love go.

[fallenangei]

lmao, i just read through some of the comments and i laughed at the idiot who said that these guys suck cuz there slow. this isn't really slow in the first place and what do you expect?? it's a strategic board game, you have to THINK, it's one of the aspects of the game retard.

and from the woman counting down, it sounds like they're using the timer system anyway.

[fallenangei]

Go is what they call it in japanese and it's just the most popularised version of the game's name. (referring to the video description)

[iamjiraiya]

Actually,fallenangei, the game is called Igo in Japanese.

[chefkoo]

igo is capture go. go is the actual game itself

[shadowyrm]

i stand corrected then :P

[iembalm]

Now that Bob Ross, Inc. has purged all the Joy of Painting videos from YouTube, I've been looking for a new comfort voice to listen to. Beautiful voice this man has. The woman, not so much.

[boardgrabber333]

u can tell that this is korean because the characters have symbols and ovals

[fallenangei]

i realise i'm replying to a 3 month old comment but what the hell? "u can tell that this is korean because the characters have symbols and ovals"??

i'm korean myself and that is probably one of the most vague descriptions i've ever heard. chinese characters have "symbols and ovals" too you know.

[KuwaSai]

B looks like Choi Cheolhan, who is White?

[RunRuhn]

Kim Ju Ho

[estesoyojajaja]

the languege...is not korean, is japanese...right ?

[ideahead79]

It's Korean.

That's one of the games of the KBS league.

(KBS: Korean Broadcast Service)

[korikhan]

The language is Korean, and this program is broadcasting in Korea every Saturday night.

[fallenangei]

japanese and korean are very similar in pronounciation so it's hard for a person unfamiliar with the languages to tell but i assure you, as a korean, that this is korean.

lol here's me replying to a 3 month old post again :P

[hayirsizisler]

b probably let the moyo destroyed in order to get the corner. But also note that w is not alive yet..But..if you consider that white is Choi Cheolhan, it will not die :)))

by the way, how can we watch baduktv?

[theguitarlol]

It must be very frustrating to have the large center moyo reduced to ashes

[andy120692]

Pretty cool, I wish I knew what they were saying though

[gepex]

i dont know why y have -3

i think wut u said is funny i laughed the hsit out of me when i read it ahhahahaha

GOGO POWER RANGERS!!

[Intranetusa]

lol, thanks...I guess people just don't recognize brilliance when they see it...jking XD

[chefkoo]

they're not too strong? what are you basing that on? you have a 9 dan and a 7 dan duking it out.

[KiwiSama]

xD How do you know they're 9th and 7th dan?

[KiwiSama]

Oops! My bad. xDD I feel so dumb. It says it right next to their name. D=

[emcskills]

they dont seem to strong

[eagleclaww]

sub plz

[badukplayer]

Is it ok to copy this from KBS without copyright? Let's live up to baduk standard. After all that is what Baduk, Weiqi, and Go are trying to tell us. "Cheating never pays"

[SilencedHero49]

AznXYZ- One of the main reason's why they are playing slow is because they are reading farther into the game. GO is generally a slower game, and just because someone plays slow doesnt mean they suck. If they are playing on T.V. these guys are atleast at dan level.

[AznXYZ]

lol guys....i can't believe u guys seriously believed me but ok...these guys are pretty damn good, i jus play the game for fun from time to time and my fastest game was like an hour plus.

[AznXYZ]

these guys suck! WAY TOO SLOW!

[djgukfan]

This a MASTER CLASS! Can you claim to have reached this standand? No, I don't think so.

[DagAreHalland]

-_-' stupid.

Do u seriously think that you are a noob just because you have to take some time to think before placing the stones? baka...

grow up and pray that u won't remain as stupid as u have shown to be.

[AznXYZ]

ok........ U can learn to think at a faster rate, something u may never learn to do.

[Aberusugi]

Based on what you are saying, you obviously have a low understanding of this game...

[AznXYZ]

U ever play the game?

[realityminded]

One of the players is Choe Cheolhan, 9-dan. He has won major titles seven times.

[mkiozipangbuu]

ARrrrrrg. You cut it off at the crucial moment! Why not show the vid until the end of the fight, at least?

[Zabirer42]

Very interesting.

[Ssangmoon]

Badook~

[clossius]

i cant find what ur talking about can u send me link for tv brodcast? please and thank you

[ivoSF2]

djgukfan, do you mean the upper right panel in the screen?

if not what else?

[gangstakiller10]

Please post more videos! I long for more...

[djgukfan]

You can watch it online live. See panel on the top right for details of the online Korean TV channel. Enjoy!

[wateverok]

wtf was black duin in the lower left

[djgukfan]

It is a diversion tactic! Confuse the enemy.

[Aberusugi]

He used it to create his own favorable shape. Look how he connects bottom left to top left corner formations.

[wateverok]

i only saw the first 35 seconds. i didnt see him do anything else

[Aberusugi]

Just look at the formation, the black pieces that seem to look like they are wedged in between white's pieces. His formation at bottom left built up to extending to the top left black pieces. It isn't complete of course, but the potential is there, increasing his inner territories.

[wateverok]

yes, but i only watched the begining. so i couldnt no this

[Aberusugi]

Just fast forward past the people talking about the game in the middle. Get to about the 9:45 mark. You will see the formation.

[Funaru]

white must attach the single black stone at the end. it is captured then, otherwise the 5 white stones get captured which would lose the game for white.

[Flamarial]

Thank you, gjdukfan, for posting up this wonderful video! I haven't seen many baduk/igo/weiqi games on YouTube and was thrilled when I stumbled upon this. Hopefully, more videos of this game will be posted by other go-lovers. Thanks, once again!

[narusakagami]

thats awesome >< I wish we had Go on TV in america!

[OhMymy]

more of it please!

[harukamae]

Thank you for posting this! I used to watch the NHK games on Sunday afternoons in Japan, and I miss it - it's good Go/Baduk/Weiqi study!

[twofotisx]

Really cool video!! The more Go the better!

[Lizarelli]

It's wonderful being able to see this. You never get to in America!

[manastin]

Thx for upload. I think b escapes by taking some w stones. One player (probably black) is Choi Cheol Han, a great fighter.

[Hikaru69]

yes black must be choi cheol han

[Balladbird11]

How disapointing that the video ends with the right and bottom sides in such an interesting position.

Djgukfan, do you have any links where such programs can be downloaded?

[djgukfan]

Certainly Balladbird11

Please go to my forum: http://djgukfan.proboards107.c­om/index.cgi?board=koreantv&ac­tion=display&thread=1152201264

Enjoy!

[yuutuubu]

is there any more information regarding this game?  tournament, players, or even an SGF file of how this played out!

[djgukfan]

Hi, this was a 10 minute recording from KBS Korean TV to promote Baduk or GO as it is called in the US and Europe and I don't have the SGF file, sorry!

If you are interested in watching this programme which is shown on Saturdays you can do so online. I use Online TV Player. If you need further assistance please let me know.

[grimjang]

haha yeah! Watching masters' games could be a very good way of baduk study.
