I really have to say, the educational design with the animations etc is just so amazing, and on a completely another level compared to all go yt teachings i know. Thank you very much for all your hard work, i do hope it pays of for you.
Thanks for the video on Atari Go! One of my friends was nervous about the complexity of Go, so I introduced it to him through this minigame and he grew a lot more fond of it!
I really want to play a mini game of Atari Go with some friends now! I understand very well these basics of how the game can be played, but I will absolutely gain a better understanding if I actually play for myself.
I playing Hectars Go's Atari Go, but I stuck at level 11. I tried all of these but doesn't really help at that level. However It is still fun to learn from my fails. I hope I can move further soon. I think it's helps develope my reading ability.
@@GoMagic possibilities are endless: increase board size or change board shape (I've seen an example of custom goban, forgot where exactly) or 3D Go - although it might be difficult to represent it (maybe using that Apple Vision headset?).
@@LittleBobbyHasTables the possibilities are endless but very few are good i think. ever mess around with 5d chess? explosive complexity is a party trick, not a firm strategic basis to rest a game on. it's a thin needle to thread
I like GONNECT better. For one thing, life/death ability is even more important in gonnect than in regular go. Gonnect is a BETTER GAME than Go. Its way cooler. You should try it.
@@GoMagic en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonnect It's a Go variation blending the game Hex (connect two opposite sides in a chain) and Go. I've enjoyed playing Hex and enjoy Go, but personally have never tried playing Gonnect. @Zurround What about it do you enjoy? Why is life and death ability in Gonnect even more important than in Go?
You mean 9x9 board? Such boards are great for training and improving your skills. Usually you can find them on various marketplaces, for example Amazon.
Is AtariGo setup always like this? Or it can start with a blank board and both players can decide where to place their initial stones as the game begins normally?
... what I do is get a set of dice Give one to my friend and one for me and then roll The Total sum of the dice is the number of stones one has to capture first to win! 😁 ✌🏽
I appreciate your videos, and they are well done. My only issue is that you use Japanese terms throughout your videos, and the game was invented in China as WeiGi, , and then moved to Korea , where it's called Baduk, and that's where I learned it. So, using Japanese is confusing. Any way thanks, I Like your content.
Excellent video and didactics! In the opportunity, I wish that Jesus, the Name above all names (Philippians 2) bless everyone here, and may you all feed from His Word and Salvation! Greetings from Vitória da Conquista City, Bahia State, Brazil!
Seemed like a fun and simple enough game to learn intuitively for a second, but after playing some games online I'm finding out I'm just not good at it intuitively, just like checkers or chess - and I realize that it's gonna take a lot of practice and repetitively learning patterns and moves to get the hang of it - and I don't like that at all. Something about strategic thinking that I'm just not good at, not even interested in getting good at.. Just as fast as your videos got me interested, I got disinterested by playing only a few online games. So as quickly as I followed you, I'm going to unfollow. Thanks anyway.

Thank you so much for such high praise!
I noticed it as well, the animations and editing in these videos is great!

Thanks! Keep it cool and we'll teach you some great Go stuff! =)

Your explanation of this game is superb!
Thank you!

Just stumbled on your content. Excellent quality video and wonderful little animations. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

You're too heavily biased in our favor =)

It's fun but it's only the first step, try moving on to regular Go.
There is one-color Atari Go on gomagic.org now, you can check it out too=)
Getting bored of Chess, Go seems like such a step up and a creative game!
I wonder what we can do after Go...

@@GoMagic Gun-gi. The only problem is that if you get too good you have to play for your life against the king of the ants.

@@LittleBobbyHasTablesalso i like your username
Excellent presentation; thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video. Thank you
Your videos rock, thanks
Let's turn rock into Go stones together =)
Thanks man, was gonna play with my grandpa over the weekend but I needed a refresher. Also, the animated effects are cool.
Playing Go with your grandpa sounds like a great way to spend the weekend. Hope you have an awesome time 👍
Excellent!!!!
Yaaay!
Is it 6.5 points for white no matter the board size?
yes!
vielen dank
schön video
🥰
Very good Video!
Thanks!
Great vid thanks.
😆
Thanks
1:50 No
Love the quality of the video and tutorial, I just have a very hard time understanding your cans and can'ts 😭
Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊
The rules can feel a bit overwhelming at first! But hang in there, it gets easier with practice.

I wish you were my math teacher!

Is that a real game? Can you share a link to the rules?

Where to buy such a little GO.

As far as we know, it usually works like this. Surely you can start with a blank board or experiment with other initial setups.
Where did you get that 9x9 board from?
We don't remember. Probably from some local store.
I remember the ladder (四丁, shicho) technique from Hikaru no Go hahaha
atari! atari! thank you for the treat! =)
How do I recognize ladders?
Notice the shape that is shown in the lesson.
Next step - notice this shape BEFORE it even appears.
... what I do is get a set of dice
Give one to my friend and one for me and then roll
The Total sum of the dice is the number of stones one has to capture first to win!
😁 ✌🏽
So, you're adding some random stuff to Go. Interesting. How often does it change the flow of your games?

Interesting. Do you know ANY games that one could learn to be really good at intuitively without any repetitive practice?
