Life In 19x19

Update, Version 2:
I updated this PPTX with better transitions between slides so that it's more clear when you need to press a button.

Hi guys, here are some printable Go Kifu sheets I made, which you may find useful for in-person or club games.
I didn't like how the ones available in English looked so I made my own.

I have a 19x19 and a 9x9 version. If you make additions, note that the font is Adobe Garamond Pro.
At our club we ...

This is awesome. Notice the tesuji at 178.

Maybe they learned about ladders at the end!

It might be fun to know that in the Blind game with Kim Jiseok 8p, when he opens his blindfold after 100 moves he says, "yes... that is pretty much what I remember except for a few stones in the center".

I've done some programming and design, and I find that Go is attractive because it involves creative problem solving. I think all of the professions you mentioned have that in common to a strong degree.

These days it's hard to come across a game of Go out on the streets unless you look for it. So ...

Hi all! Being Korean I've watched many entertaining and unique Korean baduk videos on Youtube.

I'd like to share some Go Variant videos from a Korean BadukTV channel with you , because they are great and I know there are not many videos in English. They involve strong pros and high amateurs ...

I was actually looking for games where pros paly vs weak amateur dans or somewhere around that level. I know that there are a lot of amateurs who are strong as pros, but to me this is same as pro vs amateur.

Why I am looking for these games is that I want to see how pros handle some common ...

Cho Hun Hyun Handicap Go Series

Here's a playlist of teaching games that Cho Hunhyun played against amateurs who play baduk. Very fun to watch. Cho HunHyun plays gently but lightly and I think he lets them win sometimes, or at least always tries to keep it close.

It's basically him going around ...

Collaborations can be great, but what I'm focused on more now is trying to make smaller, reusable components. For instance, there's no reason that developers need to keep reinventing a parser for SGF files, which is why I made one available on NPM: m. Hopefully it's documented well enough that the ...

and could not resist to try to apply that with a game of go

I suppose I will not really enjoy playing with that but it's funny.

That is actually totally awesome.

Currently the best-looking gobans/stones I've seen are:
Panda Tetsuki and Goban by Sen.te

Goban by Sen.te has random wabi-sabi offsets for the stones and I think it looks nice.
I think that it gives the game a human touch, and in my opinion Go is always more enjoyable with the human touch.

Thanks cloudbrows! I hope the Go community doesn't get left in the dust in a very designed world.

PLEASE work with WGo! I think it has so much potential. The code is very easy to read and work with.
And look how pretty it can look (I tweaked the colors and textures, and CSS)

Thanks for the sweet implementation cloudbrows! This is awesome, I've never worked with SCSS before so this is pretty cool.
I tried adjusting the colors just a tad for subtlety.

anoek, I like OGS but I've thought the shading of stones was a little weird, especially in the black stones. Biconvex ...

Hi all, I'm posting a simple demonstration of how to render a nice-looking go stone with a minimal number of shapes and gradients. Perhaps it will be a useful suggestion for a javascript/HTML5 applet, and a prettier alternative to the usual radial gradient.

Here is the graphic:

Hey jeromie, someone brought this excellent player, "WGo Player", to my attention. It's written in HTML5 and is responsive.
