Re: Any and all info needed on GO!!!

I put it wrong, but I was pretty sure that there are legal ways to buy the .pdf of go books, perhaps I am wrong.

Didn't mean to do anything illegal.

Sorry if it came off that way..

Is that bad o.O?

I took a lot of time on this game, and I really messed up xD. I thought a review of this game would be good since I spent so much time thinking all the variations through (obviosuly not enough on ...

1 hour main time 3 handicap game vs 2k

I got very lucky in winning this game (I read it all out but he had to make a few mistakes for it to work)

I would appreciate any comments on it, I added a few of my own.

Re: Coming back

I do agree battousai's videos aren't so much instructive or useful sometimes, but just entertaining.

I think some of his lectures are alright, but nothing is explain in depth I would agree.

I like shygost a little more, but I also feel sometimes he misses things.

That's why pros are preferred ...

Re: Game in progress

[quote="foeZ"]Hm, I disagree that the right is not secure. I'm pretty sure that the right side is at least 18 points of solid territory that cannot be invaded. And the top left isn't 10 points either because white can reduce it in sente. But other than that, you might be right about the lower right ...

Re: Any and all info needed on GO!!!

Just play games for now until you get to around 12k. Then buy "lessons in the fundamentals of go", "elementary go series: attack and defense", and then buy a life and death set, to take with you when you travel or go to the bathroom, to solve some life and death problems.

Once you get to 5k or so ...

Re: Problem I ran into in a game

Oh also, outside liberties didn't matter at all.

And you only need one white stone, not two. Try looking at it again moyoaji, and see if you notice the difference :D.
