Here's an intuitive PPT to help you teach the rules of Go.

Post by Hayang »

Hello everyone,
I'm posting an interactive PowerPoint presentation that you might find useful for teaching the rules of Go.
I organize a university club and I've been experimenting with ways to teach the rules in the simplest, most painless way. I developed this presentation to help me teach the rules quickly without fumbling with stones. I use it in club meetings and at public booths to attract new members. It is polished and very easy to use.

It's geared toward a young, impatient audience, and uses simple, natural language to be as intuitive as possible.

This presentation covers:
- Playing for Territory
- The Capture Rule
- Ko

Very nicely done. I may be able to find use for this.

Thank you, this is beautiful!

I might, if I have time, translate it into German for educating the barbarians’ offspring village children whom I want to attract to the weekly school Go workshop.

Here's one I've done:

Which covers history, rules of the game, culture around the game, and computer go.

Way too long for children, but a good all-round intro otherwise, IMO.

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.
