Hello guys.

I just got in this site right now.
btw,Is there anyone from Indonesia who's here too?

Selamat datang di L19

kayaknya nggak ada orang indo lain di sini (tapi siapa tahu). Cuma sedikit orang indo yg main igo
Kadang2 kalo saya on, saya juga ikut ruangan "Indonesia" di KGS, tapi jarang main.
Saya bukan orang indo juga, tapi bisa bahasanya dikit

Halo, karaklis.
tidak apa2 ya pake bahasa indo?
wowh, km orang mana memangnya?
malaysia kah? orang indo gak sedikit kuq.. ada lebih dari 1000an orang yg main n terdaftar sebenarnya. n qt rutin setiap tahun mengadakan kejuaraan tingkat nasional maupun internasional.

mari bantu saya perluas igo di indonesia supaya catur tergeser dari sana.haha..haha..
karena igo jauh lebih menarik dari catur.

ga apa2 koq. tp sebenarnya bhs di forum ini bhs inggris of course

bukan. saya orang jerman


betuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul

wah, orang jerman bisa berbahasa indonesia. saya merasa tersanjung.
btw, km tinggal di Indonesia, kah?
sebab jarang sekali saya bertemu orang yg bisa berbahasa indonesia dari luar negeri.
btw, ada kah saran agar igo bisa lebih dikenal oleh masyarakat luas di negara Indo yang notebene nya masyarakatnya bermain catur?
karena jika mereka dikenalkan igo pastinya mereka tau klo igo jauh lbh menarik daripada catur. meskipun begitu, saya juga tau klo harga papan igo dan batu nya jauh lebih tinggi daripada catur dan bidaknya. adakah saran dari km mengenai ini?

Saya bisa berbahasa indonesia karena istrinya orang indo, siapa aja gurunya, hehehehe.

Let's turn back to English

Yeah back in the day when I was in Indonesia I met a lot of strong chess players (i.e. a lot stronger than me, because I am quite weak at chess). That was in 1993, but I think things haven't changed much in that regard. I am also wondering why go hasn't become more popular in Indonesia. I agree with you that go is actually much more interesting and aesthetic than chess (though chess has of course also its own beauty). Here in Germany go isn't popular either, it was pure luck that I found it. Unfortunately when I started to learn it more seriously (in 2008), I was quite old.

How did you get introduced to go?

owh. I see.
I'm introduced to go by watching anime "Hikaru No Go" at first. Almost all of Indonesian go Player watch the anime at first so they all get interested. But, My improvement is really slow because of my lacking information (internet) at 2005. But, now I really have time for playing go.even in here, Kim Mong Dyung 6p Korean Pro player is teaching Indonesian players free chare in his apartment. so,I'll go there as many as possible (2times/week).
