English BadukTV

Post by Uberdude »

I don't know if other people are aware of them, but I recently discovered some (legitimate) English dubs/subs of Baduk TV on YouTube. Currently watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-zFgjd4SrE which has some interesting chit chat with Lee Sedol where he shares such insights as how his "condition" (which I take to mean concentration ability, depth of reading) isn't as good as in his 20s but his depth of Go has increased, and were he to play himself from 10 years ago he thinks it would be a 50:50 game. Also talking about Kim Jiseok and Kang Dongyun he says they focus too much on reading and life and death, the other aspects (presumably more nuanced strategy) are weaker, but Park Junghwan he praises as being a more rounded player and with still potential to improve. Also enjoyed this review from Lee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcx-P08H ... re=branded.

Thanks for the tip UD! :clap:

I was interested in Sedol's comments on the importance of creativity.

The English commentary is by Choi Dong-eun, 1p.

BadukTV stream was talking to Choi Dong-eun, 1p and Lee Haijin, 3p about assisting with English translations for their videos awhile back. I'm not certain of the current status.
