It's almost 2020, but I still want to thank you for this wonderful tutorial series! Everything was easy to understand and digest and I learned a lot from it. I've appreciated Go more now, and hopefully I can improve my playing too haha
As a (used to be) chessplayer I am digging into this game right now. I kindda like it's vibe and dept. There is so much to learn in this game. Hopefully I get to a point where I know some OPENINGS like chess. Thanks for the vids. Very well done.
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 :-) Tom
Not sure you are still around - it's been 10 years. But I wanted to tell you that you have done a really good job with these lessons. I don't know how to describe it, but I can tell sometimes, watching a tutorial series, just how good it is - how well it is taught. And these are superb. I really have a good grasp of the game now, and I find myself really intrigued by it - thank you. If you ever return to this channel you will want to update some of your 3b resource links. AudioGoLessons links to a credit card site now, and GoDojo, I THINK, has a free Android app.
That's so great to hear, DreamBliss; thanks for the encouraging words, and I hope you find Go enriching. It has been a while, but I am working up a series of special-topic episodes based on followup questions that have come in over the years. Thanks, too, for the pointers on the links - I'll do a sweep and update the ones that need it. The Android app doesn't seem to be connected with the original software - it appears to be just a name collision.
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?
@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.
thanks for this tutorial. and for the links too. might i suggest adding those links to the description, for lazy people like me who'd rather just click than type =)
I feel like I'm taking a walk in the wayback machine. The tutorials are clear. I hope I can find a teacher. Go is still alive online, but much of the material I'm coming across, like Contact Fight, appear difficult to come by.
@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.
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 -_-
@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.
Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial.
This is BY FAR the best tutorials for go

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

very nice tutorial
5 stars for this very good video.
Good idea. I'll look at that.

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

Me and my friends love go now thx so much

@noxtradamentus how is your learning coming?
Thanks!
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 -_-
Thank you so much, maybe i can actually win a game now without playing random moves and hoping XD
did you manage? hope so!
This video made me inspired to become a Go master. I'll be meditating on different capture strategies all week :D
thank you so much :)
I hope I can play a game with you too someday
funny enough playing go actually improved my chess skills.

thanks a lot
Do you think we could maybe chat sometime, I wanted to get some more in-depth study.
I enjoyed hikaru no go , shame they didn't make more episodes
you can try flyordie.com and most of he players talk english they have Go games : )
I gave it a shot but I prefer chess
nice tutorial but didnt really find those links any good...no offense
