World Baduk Service

Post by Rowen »

In my constant searching for resources I stumbled across this site thanks to 361points.com

Its an Asian Go client that is giving a good effort at attracting English speaking players. I did not see this listed as a resource (that I could find) so I thought I would share it here.

I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions about it.

Here's the link: http://www.wbaduk.com

Note: I have not installed this or tried it. Will soon though.

wbaduk has a lot of good stuff, but they don't spend enough effort to polish everything for the English client. There are some noticeable bugs, but overall I like what they're trying to do. They have pro simuls now and then for free too which is nice.

I think their android client is the best for playing games on, and you can catch all the pro games.

I can also only seem to get the lectures on Internet Explorer, but I don't know if there is some weird setup I'm missing.

This is great news. I'm at that stage where I'm trying to learn what is a good move and what's not. Also, strategy....I'm sorely lacking in that area. So Ill play anywhere I can lol.

I need to play some ranked games in KGS so I can get an idea where my rank lies....however I fear it might not go low enough for me. :lol:

At this point, you're probably still improving too quickly for this to really matter, or for any rank that you get to be anywhere near correct. Everyone seems to be eager to get a rank early on, but when you're shodan, do you think you will care whether you were 12k or 15k during this particular month? Playing games is good, but leave worrying about rank for later, since a given rank won't really tell you much about what you need to learn anyways, aside from more :).
