To learn Go, there's a method: try on a very small board 7x7 or even 5x5... with the rule "first who take 3 stones win". After a few games, you'll discover that some stones cannot be captured (groups with 2 eyes...). After that, you'll be able to play go. :)
ive just recently gotten into this game after watching that korean movie the devine move...downloaded the go game on my phone and it's been driving me crazy lol..games like go and chess really do take a different type of thinking to excel at but i like them because they make me think outside the box..playing on a 19 board size is a real challenge after awhile..
This is very beautiful; and amazingly done. I particularl love how the action and the music speed up towards points where things suddenly become more chaotic/close-quarters. And the entire piece around the Ko-fight (left side of the board) was just AMAZINGLY well orchestrated! Beautiful. -AHMAD
Wow, I'm so glad someone thought to make a video like this. It's a great illustration of the drama and intensity of a game of go. The only downside is that I had to rewind to see where some of the tenukis were played.
There's got to be a way to temporarily mark each new play differently so it stands out. Place a penny on top of it, for instance, take the photo, then make the next play and move the penny onto it.
@ajtaggs sure, 19*19 is a much larger playground, also the rules of killing ones figures and placing them are much wider, so that adds to the complexity too. in chess your moves are very well limited, the reasonable ones are even more... while in go you can put wherever you want (with a few exceptions). and to hit you only have to replace a figure, in go you have to surround it.
On Go and Chess. The essential difference between Go and Chess is the exquisite elegance of Go. From a small, simple rule set, a virtually infinite set of possibilities arises. Specifically: In Go, all pieces have the same value: In Chess there are six different pieces with different value. In Go, all pieces 'move' the same. In Chess each of the six different pieces move differently. In Go there are 19*19 intersections to play on, in Chess, 64 squares. The difference in the number of squares
Just for people who are serious about go. Go search for 新浪围棋. It's a weiqi online gaming platform for Chinese Korean and Japanese. You can also watch pro games on it. You should expect fairly skilled opponent even as a starter. Also there are many early game settings and basic tactics that you need to know to play a real game. You can find it on the web page too
Not a website, but if you're on Windows, Igowin is an excellent program. Google for "smart games igowin", and the first link will take you there. Have fun!
Ah this game is amazing ^^. It's so interesting to see there thoughts on situations I would have trouble with =p. Nice piano music too, did you play the music yourself?
"The problem of simulating (or creating) intelligence has been broken down into a number of specific sub-problems. These consist of particular traits or capabilities that researchers would like an intelligent system to display. The traits described below have received the most attention" notice the rest of what your quote says "when a technique reaches mainstream use it is no longer considered artificial intelligence, sometimes described as the AI effect."
Interessting enough, some of the best composers keep saying that music is simple and people put too much thought into it. Like classical music, people make it out to be some sort of special thing that only a few choosen people can enjoy and understand. But reallity is that it's just music, there to listen to and enjoy. Nothing special about it.
Anyone know name of anime or cartoon. The action is related to "go" and the main character is a boy who is just getting to know the game and is rapidly progressing in the game, while later a boy appears who, when he wins an opponent, opponent can't never play #MyEnglishIsBadImKnow
Go is a very good game, however I think the music you associate with it makes it sound like a nightmare/horror. I would create a soundtrack where black and white represent some kind of random sounds.
@ajtaggs lol no sorry chess is simple you just gotta think ur moves out clearly GO on the otherhand has multiple things to pay attention to lots of rules and way too many tactics in fact not all of them have been discovered
unlike chess Go's best minds are not computers the highest computer hasn't come close to reaching ametuer dan ranks so it would be more beneficial to practice against humans
funny when I heard the developers say AI they defined it as what I said it to be a computer that learns like a human and whose mind operates like a human which they said would take a huge technological leap to achieve which might take a century or two which I say will never happen so computers will never reach mid-high amatuer dan lvl let alone professional
ran out of characters:( that is, number of possible games is astronomical. In Go openings, each of the four corners have openings, all of which relate to each other and the whole board. In Chess, there is only one main battlefield in the opening, the four central squares. In Go, the person who moves first wins half the time: In Chess, almost always. In sum, if you are looking for the ultimate game of skill, there is no comparison between Go and Chess, or for that matter, Go and any other game:)
I always think of Chess as being about a single battle and GO as being about an entire war. I think this because chess takes place in an enclosed space and ends with the death of the king. GO is about capturing territory (most ancient wars were about territorial acquisition), and little battles happen throughout the game. However, just because you win a battle in GO, it doesn't mean that you win the war of gaining the most territory.
nope incorrect programmers have already stated that the only way that a computer will master go is through artificial intelligence which we are no where close to achieving
Go is actualy deeper than a game it requries understanding of aji the one key part of the game that a combination computer can't master you obviously have not played the game or studied as long as I did a simple computer can not focus on aji or influence that tells it where to move on the board in the opening so indefinately it will never go past 1 amateur dan I saw the videos of the computer go tournaments and the developers said what I'm saying this proofs my point you are a fool
really do you actually know what artificial intelligence is? if a computer had artificial intelligence then it would have free will think like a human does learn knowledge like humans do and interact like humans do we are no where close to that type of technology and in my opinion we will never have ai in the future
To try to argue that there is little strategy in either go or chess is a testament to your ignorance. Yashil17, to be quite honest I think you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You can't predict future moves because there are to many possibilities? Please. Any chess piece has an absurd amount of possible movement paths throughout a single game, but you wouldn't tell me that if a queen had a checkmate as one of those options, you wouldn't reasonably predict it would make thatmove

No idea what was going on here, but the music made it seem profound.
This is the best go game video that I've ever watched!

The music is so expressive

I am a pianist, a composer, and a player of go--and I think this video is pretty cool!
I love my chess, but lately I found myself wanting to learn the game Go...this video helps and the music works quite well.

shusaku is truly amazing
fantastic
yeah. hikaru no go is the best. the battle between sai and toya koyo is my fave. btw, good vid!
or Google usgo computer go and click the first site; the American Go Association has a list of many programs that play go.
Definitely need more high quality games set to classical music.
Honinbo Shusaku is a legend

reminds me of 'conway's game-of-life', I guess go had a role in inspiring that.
@sm0kie420 Love the name! Go is the Japanese name for the Chinese game Weiqi (Can't tell if sarcasm is being applied).
What was the name of the album? I like this piece, too, and would like to find the disk.
go and igo are used interchangably in japan. baduk is used korea. wei qi is used in china.
i was interested in playing this unique game, but after this video my minds changed...
Thank you :-)
@TheXxgamerdudexX I know it may sound really weird to you, but it is possible to buy stuff through the internet in sites like ebay.
hikaru no go lol that brings me back memories
where I can see go game rules?
i agree, plus why are most of these people posting whole books as comments its insane
The music is so ominous. What my piece has no liberties, neither do you!
I have a stupid question. Do you think it would be possible to play Go on a Nintendo DS? Like, through homebrew?
It's called igo in Japan.
where can can you play online, can someone tell me please ? :)
@MADBOY169 perhaps it looks to you like a bad game but this is a high ranked game of two mega pros.
Not a website, but if you're on Windows, Igowin is an excellent program. Google for "smart games igowin", and the first link will take you there.

@MrHiti Well go is orignated in china, it's name should be in chinese - 围棋
where can i buy a board with stone and how utch does it cost
@ajtaggs
What's your rank in each?

Your English is actually pretty good! Well done sir!

@haskellsmall That guy's comment is just spam advertising his site.
Great video though, concept and execution was great!
Listen at 2x speed its dope
You can also try this *excellent* tutorial site. Google for "interactive way to go"
I'm high af watching this at 2x speed. Can recommend
goto chorm web store search "go board game" and download "flyordie go"
no dont need to google. just type in gokgs.co you know
not really, take a look to wikipedia is like a game of the primary school with lines in spanish we call it timbiriche
ok!
I think the music should flow with the game not the other way around.
Go is far more complex than chess, just check the number of possibilities in any given game.
What's Go? This is Wei Chi
@ajtaggs lol no sorry chess is simple you just gotta think ur moves out clearly GO on the otherhand has multiple things to pay attention to lots of rules and way too many tactics in fact not all of them have been discovered
there's 45 seconds of introductery stuff
its a game of igo 囲碁 not go and i am pretty sure about that
@sm0kie420 Or even Baduk.
PGxElNino from KGS : D
try online-go just type in google online-go and it is the first result
That is not the right definition for AI check for your self on wikipedia because this youtube won't let me post link
unlike chess Go's best minds are not computers the highest computer hasn't come close to reaching ametuer dan ranks so it would be more beneficial to practice against humans

8 years later... the World Champion of Go was defeated by Google's DeepMind.
kooler
Wow, this game is very difficult to understand.
I’m here from Hikaru No Go
What?
@zoe745 umm no its not wired because i am fuckin CANDIAN
ran out of characters:(

Try googling: 361 points
Google Go++
And it would really help if you know Chinese...

If I were black, I'd have surrendered by now.

Way to fast forward a super complicated sequence. :)
i dont get it cause i cant c it.
i mean like strategy n stuff
im a chess player btw
Anyone else here because of Elon Musk?
no
