Howdy OGS’ers. Having discussed the idea to create some resources for novice players with mlopezviedma and xhu98, I’ve spent a few hours putting together a guide to the opening in OGS demo format. Now, I don’t claim to have any special knowledge about the opening. However, I have spent a good bit of time studying it, and basically every move comes from a pro game. There is nothing in it I have invented. (It’s so uncreative!) I hope one day I can invent my own opening ideas, but until then, here’s a guide for beginners as to what top pros tend to do in their own openings:
I will incorporate any useful modifications into the demo. Helpful criticism, snide remarks, and threats against the creator are also welcome. Enjoy!
Edit: this sgf preserves the markups in the original for offline-viewing.
@xhu98, there is a button on the right-hand side to download the SGF. It seems like the comments are properly preserved (althought I haven’t check in detail).
Edit: Unfortunately, it looks like only the comments are preserved, but other annotations (letters, marks, numbers) are not there in the SGF.
yep @yebellz I mean the demo could be edited by viewers so it’s good to preserve the original SGF. Last time in my “Fridays” I got heart diagrams in the demo
Some of variations are bugged maybe. In the comment it’s writen : “Black may play at A, B, or C next.” while there is no A, B or C on the goban. I’ve seen it few times.
Hi. I am aware this is probably from some external app or site (I think I saw it somewhere before), but nevertheless it would be nice if it could be able to change to a bigger size. I mean the board and of course the font itself. It is real small and hard to read. Besides that - good job and thanks.
And yes, I just figured it can be changed with Ctrl+ (basically browser zoom). That is if someone also has this problem. But still some visible option or info on that would be cool and useful.
