Guide to Record a Go Match (Kifu) ⚫⚪

As I noticed that quite a big number of students encountered problems with recording matches with paper and pen on face-to-face tournaments, I wrote a ‘Guide to Record a Go Match’. Link: https://polgote.com/en/blog/guide-record-go-match-kifu-print/

If the article is interesting for you, you will probably also be interested in the following deal:

If you take individual lessons from 3 various Go teachers through https://polgote.com/individual-lessons/ between 15th October and 15th November 2024 and those lessons will be completed before 23:59 GMT of 15th November 2024, I will send you the Kifu Notebook (108 pages A4) free of charge (regardless of where you live).
After your lessons are completed, you don’t need to do anything, I will contact you by email (and ask about your delivery address) within a few days.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Have nice lessons :slight_smile:

I like the writing kifu and time management section :slight_smile:

Some of the first kifu I was writing I tried to use two colours of pens or a pen that had two colours but you have to click to change it.

In principle it looked better but it took way too much time.

I did see these kinds of pens at the nihon kiin

but I think one colour of pen and numbers vs circles is definitely quicker.

Also sticking to exactly two moves at a time on your opponents turn also sound good - sometimes I accidentally mix up move numbers and I have a bunch of kifu with the same number 60 something twice or probably even more numbers than that.

A good way is to give 10mins more to someone scribing in a friendly agreement between both players.
