Video Tutorial for the Game of Go - Part 3b, Concepts (WeiQi, Baduk)

[theodore4293]

where do you play your online games?

i've been playing at playok.com

which has different countries playing

but whenever i want to discuss my games they don't speak english -_-

[GoshawkHeron]

@theodore4293 Personally I find KGS (gokgs.com) to be the most accessible online site for most English-speakers. I have some quibbles about some of the features on the site, but the language issues come up much less often.

Very, very good and clear exposition of Go strategy and tactics.

Thank you for this great Go Tutorial. I’ve founded a Go group in the North German village I live in and will send the members here. I just wish you’d upload more of your good lessons here :-)

[Kevorochi]

thx

[steffinepistefii]

hi...thank u for explaining go, you make me very happy,with every step you take in the tutorial,,not just only you are doing beautyful work but also cause go is just a compelling thing to do. it might bring you right to the point of your innerself, if you let it. if you let the instructions of go touch your soul you may develop a sense of new intuition. however it may express itself...but it's gonna have a positive feedback on your thinking.so dear GoshawkHeron,on which level are you playing? :)

[died244]

wow, this game is complicated! I thought it was easy, but now I really want to master it! just one question, could you make an example game from beginning to end-game, and explaining your moves?

[GoshawkHeron]

@died244 You're right that this is an excellent way to learn. But the Go professionals can do this way better than I ever could. There are a few outlets where they do this, but my favorite is Guo Juan's library of audio lectures at "internetgoschool (dot) com" (I mentioned this one in the video, but the address has changed since then.) They have great material for every level.

[landovers]

@died244 Thre's a youtube channel called "gocommentary" that has some videos of Go matches with commentary. The comments are very thorough and well done and the video quality is great. The games are very high level, but they are good to see how the game flows. I recommend checking it out!

[bettyma135]

nice tutorial but didnt really find those links any good...no offense

[GoshawkHeron]

@bettyma135: No offense taken. Everyone has their own way of learning; some materials will appeal to some people and others to other people. While there are a lot of places that could have been listed to learn specific skills (tsume-go, joseki, etc.), the ones I put in as links were the ones that I found to methodologically teach the game - that is, to teach how to think about the next level of play, underpinned by a coherent framework. But whatever works for you is what works for you.

[bigiriei]

This was a GREAT tutorial. Thank you !

[HybridMindGames]

Thank you very much for these four Go tutorials. They were very well done and useful to me.

[kolderiekerik]

Excellent tuts, thanks! I hope more will follow.

This is the king of board games, much more complex and incomputable than Chess! The rules are so simple and elegant, but the game is so incredibly difficult...

[podx990]

Very well done tutorial. Thanks. It seems like a great game,

[noxtradamentus]

I want to learn, i will.

[rhcp4565]

@noxtradamentus how is your learning coming?

[sreman07]

really clear advice and instruction !! made me more determined to learn this great game,

[filipinomark]

I really need to learn and play this game!

[LouigiVerona]

Thank you. Very inspiring tutorial. Do you yourself play a lot? Are you an experienced player? Just curious.

[hopsala1]

5 stars for this very good video.

[LeveretsMusic]

Hi

Really good lesson

You might want to consider putting those links in the video information part to make them easier to get to

Thanks

[GoshawkHeron]

Good idea. I'll look at that.

[madcowman19]

This video made me inspired to become a Go master. I'll be meditating on different capture strategies all week :D

[fmbga]

Very nicely done! I'll recommend this to other learners.

[Estapolis]

a very well-made tutorial.

More people should read this, because Gi is heavily underrated or even not known in many parts of the world, unfortunately.

[massesy]

Thanks!

[ZenoTasedro]

Thanks for this, just getting into go and I found these very useful!

[twominutepenalty]

Nice. This was very helpful. Thank you so very much.

[MagonBarca]

Great tutorial! I've been playing for about a year now, but there were still many terms that I recognized in passing but was unsure of their actual meanings. I'll definitely recommend this to beginners in my club.

[Highwind886]

This tutorial was extremely helpful. Thank you for this.
