My boyfriend got the game and he’s been reading the instructions for a couple of days. I suggested he go on CZcams and learn how to play, he said no. So I am going to go on CZcams and learn how to play it before he does🥰
Why did he say no? It just sounds like he doesn't want those days he spent on reading the instructions to go in vain lol
Men. 😅 Has he figured it out yet?
@@blindknitter it's been a year, I should hope so 💀
I want to know how this unfolded.
@@danielyuan9862 a year ago but there's just this pride for some people who likes to form their own strategies before looking up a strategy guide.
I'm 60. My older brother showed this to me 50 yrs ago. I just bought this game after watching this video... thank you. You explain it well....
The game is beautiful, though it's extremely hard for beginers. I'm just trying to learn it.
Me: *angrily finding this video after loosing like 40 times in a row thinking this shit was gonna be simple*
that's literally me! :'D
When I started playing, the ones teaching me told me, "Just lose your first 100 games."
So yeah, my expectations were appropriate for the game...
Hi Kele, do you know what program In Sente is using?
@@thomasmalone.4682 It looks like KGS cgoban to me but I could be wrong. Looking at the KGS website, it seems that they've updated what program they use. KGS is the premier go server for the west.
@@AvonaStar Hi Avona, thank you very much for your response to my question. Peace.
Always nice to see young people taking time to not only learn but also teach stuff like Go. Nice video, helped me big time!
oynuyo musun hala go
ya bsg
enteresan bir manzara değil mi, beni de buraya şibumi sürükledi...
❤
Dude you explained this SO well. No wonder I was losing so bad to easy computers. I was interpreting the rules wrong. You have a real knack for teaching. This video is extremely clear thank you so much.
been there
Tried playing at 1st grade level... lost by 88 pts. Swore I was kicking ass.....
I lost by 87.8 points on level 5. : (
om I can't even get a single one-
I tried that too. I lost by 32 points but Welp I tried xD
same...
Me: its just a game of circles how hard can it be?
20 minutes later: *what*
hahahaha ! : ))
I'm seriously addicted to a Netflix K-drama called "Misaeng," and the protagonist processes everything in life--good and bad--through his understanding go/baduk. So that's what brought me here. You're a fantastic teacher! Thanks!
We watched it too! 🖐 We built a game out of this. Wanna play a game of go with us? 😁
@@gameofgo9172 i mean I'll play, but I'll destroy you easily! Js!
is this series good , i am going to download this
I downloaded a go app from the play store. Lost several times. I then watched this video...played my game and won the first match! Good job 👍👏👌
I have ever tried and didn't even know this game but tonigh I search a lot of websites and i find u, u explain clearly for know I will play and try it and thank man
This was awesome, thank you. As a chess player I've known about Go forever, but never really looked into it. I saw that beautiful documentary about AlphaGo against the incredible Lee Sedol and got intrigued. I really want to try it out but I'm still very much intimidated by the game.
No need! You don't have to be so dmeanding to yourself. Just be good enough to have fun and find new friends and you are good
As someone who's awful at chess and slightly better at GO, i can say from solid experience that its much more enjoyable to play GO at a low level than chess.
I've watched several videos trying to learn the basics of the game, and none have explained the game as well as you have. Not only are your examples varied, but your explanation and effort to provide additional info within every example is very welcome. Separating all of the intricacies into two, succinct rules from the beginning, (Territory and Capture) really helped me understand the concepts to follow in a way that other guides have failed to do. Great work. Thanks for teaching me!
Dude, for the last 24 hours i was trying to figure out on how that game worked and finally someone explained it.
Everyone kept saying that its about capturing, but acutally its about areas which leads to capturing, i was so confused the whole time.
Thank you so much!!
It's about area control! But yes area which leads to capturing without losing area is definitely a plus!
Thank you for this. My wife and I have a Go board but haven't played in years. I was looking for a refresher video, and most of them talked way over my head. You made everything really easy to understand. Kudos.
This by far the best introduction to Go that I've found. Thank you for such a clear intro with great examples.
In Knives out, the game Go was indirectly involved in a murder mystery, looks like a fun game. Was seeing how it's played.
Same
Love that movie
That’s where I heard it
Same. I had never heard of it before Knives Out. It looked interesting. Teach me.
@@abcGates
Still haven't learned 😕 no excuses! Wiith all this stay @ home protocol, desire hasn't left to play.
Thank you for putting this video together. At the 7-8min mark you explained something that I have tried to find in countless other videos and books. Much appreciated!
Many thanks for your Beginners Series! I had an unplayed Goban at home for 7 years and your videos finally motivated me to tackle the game of Go.
Thank you for such a slow and clear explanation of the game! Really helped me understand a lot more than other videos on YT.
Thank you! I've been trying to learn and all I've found online are super confusing videos. This is great, explains the basic comments better than anywhere else I've found. Thank you.
Thank you for this perfect beginners tutorial. I feel like this is actually possible for me to learn
Sending this video link to my 11 year old nephew - hope to learn the game WITH him :) Im an old time chess player but love the depth that go has always promised!
Thank you for making this series. I enjoy playing physically and not many of my friends like to play because I am an awful teacher (and barely knowing myself) so i would have the upper hand 90% of the time. (Not a gloat) This series has been instrumental in helping my friends and I enjoy this wonderful game!
Really good video for beginners! Thanks, I'll watch these! I just started trying to get into the game again, after failing to learn it properly several years ago.
Sir, you have been the best go teacher that I have found. Thank you.
Thank you for providing Go instructions for a guy like me who has been trying to find instruction everywhere unsuccessfully! Someone told me to try CZcams, and I laughed, but here I am, and found your tutorials...nice job!
Well done! Thanks for the detailed and easy to follow explanation... Best I've found so far
This video is really helpful, just bought a nice go board and really excited to start playing. Thanks for putting this together, learned a lot.
Love your videos. I have really learned the basic strategy from them. I can say now I finally beat the computer in 9x9 was fantastic to hear RESIGNED.. ))))) Well Done. I look forward to the rest of your series.
I’m really enjoying how easy it is to follow and learn from your explaination. Thank you
Thanks for this series! My fiancé and I just got our first board and this is far more helpful than other videos I've watched.
Finally!!! This is the BEST explanation I have yet of Ko and the two eyes. I had such a hard time up until now understanding liberties
I got a Go board for Christmas & am starting my "lifetime to learn" journey. This is a fantastically clear and informative tutorial! Thank you so much :)
Best guide on the web! Easy, clear, direct to the point.
Came from SU&SD; thanks for the interesting and easy-to-understand video!
Very well done!! Thank you! Also - Laughed at the "real life friend" clarification 🤣 classic
Thank you so much! This is excellent. I hope you always continue to teach...you're a great instructor!! 😊
Thank you. I was trying to learn with OGS and could not get past the defend tutorial 3 to create 2 eyes before watching to the end of your video.
8 years later, this video taught me how to play
I'm a near expert chess player who heard about Go through the grapevine. So now I'm here to learn as a white belt in your Go Dojo
This is very clear and the pace is good. Not too fast, not belaboring. Thank you.
This video was so helpful!! This is the first video I've been able to watch fully through and actually understand it. Thank you so much!! ❤️
Great explanation of the game! You made it so easy to understand and it doesn't sound intimidating to start. Thanks!
What a Great introduction, incredibly pedagogical and well executed. Thanks.
Best Go explanation for beginners I've found so far. Hope you have a good 2019 mate.
Very clearly and helpfully explained. The video certainly interested me to play Go. Watching this in the UK during our 3rd lockdown.
Just wanted to thank you very much. This is a great video, and you're a great person for doing it. Keep it up.
just played a few games! And it is fascinating just how entertaining placing stones on blank map is. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much for making this video! You're a very good teacher and it taught me a lot.
You do an excellent job of simplifying this strategy game. I'll have to watch more of your videos.
You’re a good teacher. This was an enjoyable episode
This was a great explanation of the game. Thanks for teaching me the basics!
This is one of the best, informative, in-depth "beginner Go videos" I've seen, thank you. AND it's a series!? Awesome.
At 18:08, why is black able to play? It’s not immediately capturing white and it doesn’t have any liberties. So should black not be able to play there?
Is it because it extends his liberty?
Great explanation. I watched AlphaGo last night. Never heard of the game, but it is very interesting and very strategic. Thanks for explaining it well.
Best beginner go tutorial iv come across so far. Very helpful. Yay !
Amazing explanation, it feels like a lot of the tutorials on go seem to gloss over certain facts or not explain things properly but you did it very well, and adding example questions is extremely helpful
Best instructional video I’ve found so far. Thank you!
Thanks for this video! I suck at explaining stuff and things so now i gotta video to link to people to do a really nice job of explaining.
Thanks for the video, today is the first time I'm learning Go! Hope I get good at it.
This is the best introduction to this game I have seen so far. Good job!
Thank you! I was looking for exactly this kind of tutorial.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial! I’m excited to start playing this game 👏🏼😊
Thanks for the clear instructions. Now we're ready to play beginner GO-vid-19!

Thank you so much my brother for this video series. I feel so confident after watching this video, you are a gift to the internet. Stay blessed.
15:13 "You can start your Go journey. And it will be great!" Thanks. Excellent video/tutorial
You have explained it veey well. I appreciate the way u didnt rush thru anything just to make a video.
THANK YOU !
Very good intro - thanks a lot from a complete beginner :)
Thank you so much, you were totally right at the beginning of the video. I got interested in Go because I have recently read the manga Hikaru no go, btw the manga is amazing 😂😁😅. This tutorial is very helpful and I managed to understand how to play the game, I look forward to more of your tutorials.
I am soooo gonna go play this against my computer. Thank you. I love how you explain things.
Thanks for these videos. Im a visual student and this clears up a lot of confusion.
Excellent, simple explanation. I'm brand new and very excited. Thanks!
Thank you for a great video. This has helped me greatly in understanding the basics
Dude, I could fall asleep to your voice, but in a good way haha! You sound calm and confident thats hypnotizing. You look like a nice guy! :D Thanks for the video!
thank you for taking the time to create this instructional video. It was simple and focused. A+
Great tutorial! Made me understand the rules of a game that confused me a LOT a few years ago!
Great video well described , even though my brain is scrambling to comprehend the game you are a great Teacher .
All the Best!
great video, sir. the best explanation of territories i've seen. very helpful.
Thanks to your wonderful explanation of the basic rules and concepts, I just won my first game of Go! You, sir, are a very good teacher.
This explanation is really good. Other lessons that I watched weren't this fulfilling. Thanke you!
I just finished watching the drama Hikaru no Go and was inspired to learn more - so glad I stumbled upon your beginners guide. It has very clear instruction and pacing such that I am now eager to get a board and start the journey.
still playing ?
@@seanfaherty
Where did you watch the anime. I didn't find it on Netflix.
I just recently got a nice Go starter set from Yellow Mountain Imports due to me remembering how much I liked Go many years ago. It is quite nice, bamboo and full etched 19x19 on one side, then etched 13x13 on the opposite side. I tried playing a game on the 19x19 side against myself just from the rules I remembered, and it didn't go so well lol. Came here looking for a solid foundation of knowledge to start all over again from, and now my games are looking a bit better! I really love the abstract, open nature of this game, as opposed to chess. I thoroughly enjoy both games, but I really do think that Go is my preferred one between the two!
I have gone through several tutorials and yours is the best
Thank you for this well-explaied tutorial. I'm looking form more strategy games to play with my daughter, and Go looks very intriguing.
thanks for the vid just started playin and that example of the D section happed to me a few times i didnt know what was happening this explained it pretty well
Great video. Well thought out and compete explanations. Heard about this because of AlphaGo. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the video. You can save time and irritation by learning shortcuts for different functions. Thanks a lot for the video series!
Thank you. This was a great explanation. I had a few doubts that you clarified.
Absolutely great guide mate!!!
Thank you man, this was really useful!
I finally understand something! That's the best explanation, thank you!
Great video! Thank you!
Very excited to start playing!
Great advice for a complete newbie, thanks alot!
Very good explanation. I have completely understood the game.
Well done!! Excellent teaching!! I understand it a whole lot more
Thanks! The best Go tutorial I've seen!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks so much you made it so easy to follow, youre a great teacher!
Really clear and well paced video. Thank you.
Fantastic tutorial I went from no idea to some idea about Go thank you
