@plrc4593 4 месяца назад

I've learned chess, now I'm learning go and I think go is better than chess, yet go is extremly difficult for beginners. Chess has well definded goal. This goal, when you're a beginner is not to blunder and wait till oponents blunders and spot it :) Go doesn't have that well defined goal.

@TheZephyrsWind 3 месяца назад

No one in my family played chess, so I was never taught & have only been playing since I was 34 (I'm 36). Tried suggesting it to my mother but she declined. I've been getting into playing many board games, Go being one of them.

Go is a difficult game to master because how abstract and flexible the strategy is. It’s about building, capturing , claiming territory, recognizing patterns, analyzing the board, not being greedy and so forth.

- Understand the objective: control the board and capture enemy markers (0:48). - Learn the board setup: use a 9x9 grid for beginners (0:38). - Identify intersections: place markers where lines meet on the board (1:10). - Start with black markers: black plays first (1:16). - Recognize liberties: open intersections connected to your markers (1:32). - Form units for strength: connect same-color markers (1:49). - Capture opponent units: fill all liberties around them (2:05). - End the game with passes: signal by passing a marker to opponent (2:28). - Calculate final score: count controlled intersections minus captures (2:53). - Avoid repeating board positions: do not recreate a prior board state (3:34).

03:00 while we count the empty space, can't this game go on by placing more stones there?

@plrc4593 4 месяца назад

Good point. In Japanese and AGA rules you get 1 point for every captured enemy stone. If your opponent played in your territory, you would get his stone. So your score would be additional +1-1=0. Your opponent score would be additonal -1+1=0. So there is no point to continue playing.

That commercial that says from a different angle what looked one way might be completely different (guy grabs purse saving ladies life) and the inability to move back to a prior position look similar. Like benefit of the gout.

@adeus666 2 года назад

"Markers" and "units"? First time I've heard those words used for stones and groups (and I've been playing at least 12 years). I'm also very confused about passing costing a stone. What country's rule set is this supposed to be from? I've attended a tournament before (Canadian open) and that form of "pass" didn't exist there either

@capness1228 2 года назад

If you've been playing for twelve year why are you watching beginners videos? So you can be pedantic? Need a self esteem boost because you suck at the game?

@bin4ry_d3struct0r Год назад

The proper way to pick up the stones (not markers) is by sandwiching them between your index and middle fingers with the index finger at the bottom. Do it in any other way, and you signal to your opponent that you're a beginner.

@heirofaniu Год назад

Is there a guideline for figuring out the compensation that white gets or is that more just something the two players agree upon?

@mnemony3151 Год назад

its something the players agree on, but the komi almost always ends with ".5" so as to prevent a tie game. The most common values picked are 6.5, 7.5, 5.5, and 0.5

@IknowIamafool 7 месяцев назад

Thanks

@ozzyg82 Год назад

How is the compensated amount agreed upon? E.g. what’s it based on, is it completely random or is there a mathematical way to work out how much of a disadvantage the white player is at in terms of points? Also, is the rule, that you can’t play a counter in such a way that repeats a prior position, indefinite - or can you do it after a certain number of other goes?

@mekkler Год назад

From 6½ points (Japan, Korea) to 7½ points (China, US).

@pickupsomemilk Год назад

The amount was decided statistically so that professional players' games would give black and white a 50/50 win rate. It started at 4.5 in the 1920s and was increased twice to reach 6.5. Superhuman AIs have since shown us that we basically got that value right.

@citizenbobx Год назад

I don't understand in looking at the final position for this example why more stones couldn't be played on the open intersections on the bottom half of the board. The rules I was given say you can play a stone as long as that stone would have one liberty when played, so it seems like there's a bunch more to settle?

@mnemony3151 Год назад

they could have kept playing if they wanted to but all of their invasions would end in failure and their invading stones being captured, which would give more points to the opponent. when both players agree there are no more good moves to play, they both pass and the game ends.

@mekkler Год назад

@@mnemony3151 Wouldn't the remaining stones after the capture reduce the points of that player?

@mnemony3151 Год назад

@@mekkler Yes, to an extent. It depends on how good the defending player is at extending. Some attacks are so hopeless that there is no reason to even respond. If the defender knows there is no chance the attacker can survive within that space, then the defender doesn't need to respond and can pass while the attacker continues. Eventually, the attacker will be forced to realize that their attack has failed and all of their invading stones are just captures, free points, for the defender. In some rulesets, passing also means 1 point for the opponent, in which case it's much more worth it for the attacker to make risky invasions. But games will still tend to end early because both players will be good enough to tell when they are too far behind.

@tesilab994 Год назад

Some suggestions: 1. Before doing a video on go, learn how to hold and place the stones. Its easy. 2. When showing a go board, the grain of the wood on the board should run up/down, not left right, unless you are showing players facing each other from the left and the right. The grid squares are typically not even square, but taller in the wood grain dimension. 3. You provide terminology, but the single most common term you consistently fail to use is STONES. The markers are called stones! 4. The size of the board is not adjusted for player ability (a handicap is provided to adjust for that). Though the smallest board might be used to drill someone in tactics before moving to a larger one. The 9x9 board is preferred for a tactical lightning game, the 13x13 is to scale the game into a chess-like/lunchtime time frame, since 19x19 is a bigger time investment. 5. You described connected stones as "units" and while that is a useful word, in 30 years I've been playing go, I have never ever ever heard them called "units". There are three common terms for them. The most common term is "groups" (though others will use the term group more loosely than that), or they are more technically called either "strings" or "chains". 6. End the game by passing stones is not at all a universal convention. It was adopted by the American Go Association, but the game has been played for literally thousands of years without passing stones.

@michaelbauers8800 Год назад

I thought they were called stones, not markers?

@szargos Год назад

I don't understand why in this example, the game is over. Can't white play on the bottom line of the board, for example, then black plays, and they just continue?

The standard board is 19x19 intersections. Smaller teaching boards can be 13x13, even 9x9 which would be considered trivial by go players.
