If the board is viewed as a web page try..

It's not ideal, but you can use it with eidogo.

I have this argument that go is unique among board games in that it can be viewed by a lay-person purely visually ("Now black controls these regions, white controls these regions, black is building up a presence here so that he may invade in either of these two directions")

I think so too, and I recently made a similar suggestion in a thread about introducing go to new players.

BTW, I'd love to watch your demonstrations. Any plans to record them for posterity and put them up on the net?

I actually saw part of it (nice job winning games while commenting during a live test broadcast in the middle of the night ^^), but didn't see you drawing any lines. Did you give up on/postpone that aspect or did I just miss it? I think it's a great idea, and I'd love to see you implement it.

I must admit that I like the live-cam a lot. Not only is it fun to see a person whose posts I've been reading over the last few years, but it also adds a human dimension to the comments which I suspect helps to affix things in one's brain.

I didn't see much of the broadcast, but my impression was that it was designed to give chess players a window into the world of go, and as such it was a mixture of introductory comments and somewhat generalized comments regarding strategic and tactical choices. I don't know if this was your plan, or if it just turned out that way because of the type of questions that viewers threw at you, but it's probably a good idea to pick a target audience beforehand.

In any case, the possibility of drawing on the board, showing groups, cutting points, borders, directions etc. would be great - particularly on an introductory level to clarify which battles are taking place and what the key factors are. Keep up the good work, and let us know when you plan your next broadcast!
