announcement around 59:30
From advice for teaching board games to your friends that can be applied to go:
- Before you get into the rules, state the objective (how to win), and why playing is fun.
- Rehearse what you’re going to cover and what you’re going to say.
- Provide snacks.
EDIT: - Let your friends touch the stones.
EDIT: - Help them feel comfortable and relaxed enough to ask questions, and minimize the fear of looking stupid.
- When setting up an example, instead of saying “white and black”, name your players and put them a hypothetical game situation, like idk, “say Lukas, you’ve sketched out some territory on this side with your stones, but then, Bob-- you don’t want Lukas to have so much territory, so you can invade…! … like this…”

Color Go Server was seen by a pro (in case you’re wondering they don’t say anything important).
Additionally on the same channel they with Katou Chie who is a pretty strong female go player played rare 8x8 go.
A local TV report about go tournament. It doesn’t really matter what they say, mostly just usual nice words that don’t mean much.

We’ve had a time when our local groups regulars where 50% severely handicapped. That’s the (well, one) nice thing about go, no reason for extra rules or groups or whatever.
Morita Michihiro vs Kyo Kagen commented by Cho Chikun.
Morita is a bit old, his heyday was 20-30 years ago, I guess. Kyo Kagen would be way too strong for him now.
Spoilers!
It was ok in the opening, right. Remember how people played top-right joseki? So long ago.
But in the very first fight black fell apart, I think Kyo Kagen just didn’t push on for more, didn’t need to, after all.
And how cool was that atari. He waited whole game to pull it out at the right moment, great game.
small channel newly recommended to me on youtube. uses light music and annotations instead of voice-overs
Do I understand correctly that it would have worked if the game got to that point, but Jonas chose to stop mirroring with D14? Do we know if Jonas stopped mirroring because he saw the plan coming or he just felt it was a good place to diverge anyways? (running out a stone in a not-working ladder seems like a pretty natural choice)
Either way, what a cool plan from Stanislaw, never saw anything like it before!
