So half a beginner lesson? I enjoyed the history part but kinda cheaped out ngl.
Great editing and commentary
Incredibly concise and easy to understand explanation.
I have work in a couple of hours. And in desperate need of sleep, I have no one to play GO with nor do I have a playing board for GO. Why the hell did I watched through 8mins.of this tutorial?
so all the stones are just kings? they dont get "captured", they get suffocated. They move to one square in each direction(vertices in this case). Did I get that right?
So that's where it goes
Was introduced in Go last 2007 cuz of the Anime Hikari no Go and never bothered to know who the game works, I was like (ok that happened and he win) now after decades I finally grasped the logic of the game. Too bad its might be a board game that doesn't or extremely rare in my country. Still glad I finally understand how Go works. Great video btw
Boring
so a capture is technically 2 points?
Hikaru no go
This was absolutely outstanding. Bravo. You made an EXCELLENT video on Go.
You should be proud of yourself.
Simple, clear explanations.
Great video quality.
Great articulation.
Great animations/visuals.
Concise.
Just excellent.
You're gonna help sooooo many people in the years to come who stumble across this video.
I've been playing for a day, and watched several YouTube videos on it as well as tutorials within the app, and by far this is the best explanation yet!
Welp, time to re-read Hikaru no Go…. again
Glad that I clicked! This is awesome. You have made a high quality video! Best wishes.
These lessons are great. I’ve always wanted to learn Go and maybe now I finally will.
One suggestion: it would be really helpful if you added sequential numbers to the videos' titles to make it easier to watch them in order. Thanks!
Great video! I’ve never played but am really interested in it. It’s a great game concept and so tinkers.
Perfect explanation!
This is unrelated but, what editor do you use to do those fun animations? After effects or just with Premiere Pro?
I am a beginner to the game and have just started watching your videos. I apologize if I'm sounding daft because I really appreciate the tutorials, and your explanations are thorough and concise. But I liken learning this game to learning a language. One can not take the first day basics and then jump to 4'th year fluent speaking. I've watched another video and feel I've missed many lessons that should come in between. Is there a suggested order to watch the videos in that take one through the natural progression of learning the game and learning the nuances as situations get more complex?
This video was great; thanks for putting this out!
More simple than I had thought. Less complicated than chess, but just as much a strategy game.
Genuinely came here bc of the liveaction one piece
Ok, now I know what go is
8mins and you need a second video to explain something that should have been explained in 4mins
很不错的教学~我一直好奇外国有没有人玩围棋，看来有兴趣了解它的人还不少
Very easy to understand :D! I play shogi. But my friend only plays Go. So this would be very useful thank you :D!
thx
Excellent explanation! What board do you use, and can I buy it online?
I've always wanted to learn Go. Thank you for the easy explanation.
this video was extremely informative thank you for sharing and teaching us something new.
Go on Then..
Five minutes to learn
A lifetime to master
Step 1:
Find Alpha Go
I thank you for this crash course on Go. I love games of strategy like Chess and Sequence, so this one is a good strategy game in a different sort of way. The game of Go brings to mind the Battle of Dyrrhachium in 48 BC, where Caesar's legions built a wall to trap Pompey Magnus against the sea. Pompey's men also built a wall to try and enclose Caesar's men, and it was a race of whose wall could trap the other first, much like Go. Caesar's men trapped Pompey, cutting off access to fresh water and Pompey was up against the clock. Sure, Caesar lost that battle and had to regroup where he ultimately won that civil war one month later at the Battle of Pharsalus to make up for that, but if the Battle of Dyrrhachium was a game of Go, Caesar would have won.
Finally!! The one thing that Hikaru no Go didn't mention at all in any of his chapters
Go rules is so easy but why playing it is so hard.
I am 69 years old. Yours is the best introduction to the game I have ever seen
Says black goes first; places white stone to demonstrate
thank you!! obrigado daqui do Brasil
I want to learn to play Go more than anything. But I find it absolutely impossible to learn. Such a simple, yet totally inscrutable, game.
Brilliant explanation, thanks
Finally a good explanation
completely new to this so I have a basic question. Why does the stone in the corner have two liberties? I assumed it would have been three
“…no need for crushing your enemy or world domination.”
Someone’s chicken.
SUPERB video on beginning Go.
Szacun 👌👍
Just finished Hikaru no Go, that's why I am here
I'm a black guy and im trying to impress my crush she's Korean😅thanks
Hikaru no go is one of my favorites. This helps with that.
I've always wanted to learn Go, but never understood it. This is helping. So far so good. Or maybe go far go good. Lolmfao. Sorry, I'm looking forward to the next lesson. Thanks Mr Uploader.
do those japanese words have understandable transliterations? Like what does atari literally mean?
