"no one you know will wanna GO through the effort to learn too" Anyways, it's actually not a hard game to learn. The rules are easier to learn than Monopoly. The difficulty comes from strategy. Once you start playing, you will get lost at how you should go about the game. So theoretically, if both people are beginners, it's quite easy to pick up and play.
It must be awe inspiring to still have people learning from your instructional video, even after 9 years. It's a testament to your delivery at the time and the nature of the internet. You've gained another student today. Thanks
"Most people are gonna disagree with me and that's why we live in a world where people can have various opinions." Never played Go. Probably going to start now. Pure gold.
+roflmows You think you're funny, but literally every person that I have ever taught this game has made that joke, to the point where, when I pull the board it, I begin teaching by saying "This is go. No, it isn't connect 4, it isn't 5 in a row, it isn't othello, yes I know their slogan is easy to learn difficult to master (which they stole from this game) and no you the white stones are not gummy mints. Don't try to eat them or you'll chip your tooth. "
I thought chess had crazy reversals moves you can do on your opponent this has an entirely different level of outwitting & out thinking your opponent. I like it.
I just want to say thank you for making this. A friend of mine has been asking me to play for quite some time, but I was intimated by the rules. Your explanation of the 'supply lines' is very helpful.
Go is deceptively simple, but as you said it takes a life time to master all its intricacies. I have a friend that likes it a lot, so maybe through learning from your videos I could actually play him eventually and not make a fool o myself. Thank you for your work.
I'm new to Go. I'm picking it up because of a famous Naruto character that plays it and they are influential. Anyway going through all these tutorial videos, until I found yours, most, were so dry and dead inside and I was just looking to find yours without knowing what your video was. I just knew there was going to be a good, close to home, no non-sense content video. Thank you. Glad you were real. I hope you understand where I'm coming from. I usually don't type this much.
Chess is complicated, go is complex. Chess stimulates both hemispheres but mainly the left one. Go stimulates the right hemisphere which helps you see the whole picture and strenghten your intuition. There still exist some go patterns when invading corners and some josekis, so I believe Go also have huge impact on your left hemisphere.
i've been playing Go online for a few days now since i started reading a manga about it and thought it seemed fun. now i'm here to learn what i'm doing wrong since most of my moves aren't able to be played. thanks!
You were the best of explaining the rules of Go ..I have watched three different videos but did not get all the details but you explained it really well :) thanks
"Most people are gonna disagree with me and that's why we live in a world where people can have various opinions." This is above my own capabilities, but I would like to crown this dude King of the Internet.
Love strategy been playing chess since I was five and reading Sun Tzu. I wanted to learn this for so long and after watching HxH I decided I need to learn it know! Thanks man super good!
@@corpuscallosum5862 No it's not. That would be "The Campaign for North Africa", which requires 1200 hours per match and has 11 different rule books explaining all of the rules. Nothing else comes even close to this. But compared to other popular board games Go's complexity is still high
Haven;t played for years and just getting back into Go. Board, stones and bowls ordered. Going to spend the Christmas break to teach my wife and sons how to play.
Im just learning Go xmas 2014.Getting a Goban as present.Love Chess lifelong,new Go experience Im looking forward to.Thank you,for a good video Intro to Go.You showed me basic play even before I started.
I had watched a different tutorial, but something wasn't clicking. When you explained the liberty to be like a supply line, it really helped me understand [: Thank you!
@ 0:50 I completely agree, the 9x9 is not teaching me much anymore, 3 months into learning. Trying to wrap your head around the 19x19 definitely requires 13x13 practice if you are a new player imo.
ooooooooooooh.... nice. really like the analogy of supply lines. and I finally understand the concept of "eyes". I think one thing that would have helped me to get it quicker is "if it doesn't remove all liberties from THE ENEMY GROUP". eyes always confounded me because I was trying to see all the liberties for every stone which seemed confusing and undoable but even though it's pretty much the same thing, trying see the liberties remaining for the entire group made it much more clear for me. thanks!
WOW - I've always been interested in GO and now I feel comfortable playing on my phone app just to get familiar and hopefully better. Thanks!!! Yes this vid was helpful :)
Played same game 20 years ago, but it was played on a piece of paper and we used to call it ground, cause when you capture one or more of your opponents dots, you get to mark that territory.
+theduddha2 Hey man, thanks for the video but can I ask what precisely counts as territory and how does the game end? Like, I'm assuming you can't replay in an area where your stones had previously been captured, right? If I watch your example game, will this explain everything?
well you know, 8 years after this video was posted i'm finding it helpful to understand the concepts of go. though it was so long ago, thank you for making this and not messing around in the explanations.
thx was a good introduction, as i received the game for xmas 2014, used to play alot back gammon, but this sounds more complex and an unending amount of possibilities
When you're trying to learn how to play but then you realize no one you know will wanna go through the effort to learn too
play online
I taught my friend how to play as I was learning.
Tell me about it 😂
"no one you know will wanna GO through the effort to learn too"

I suffer from this with ALL board games

Way too nice, but thank you anyways.
You know he's hardcore when he has one Go board atop another.
"Most people are gonna disagree with me and that's why we live in a world where people can have various opinions."
Never played Go. Probably going to start now. Pure gold.
"Go into your heart" brought me here.
Those who don't know its a C-Drama.
Quite good 🥰🥰🥰
this is making me hungry for Mentos.

Okay I should be AAA’s
I just want to say thank you for making this. A friend of mine has been asking me to play for quite some time, but I was intimated by the rules. Your explanation of the 'supply lines' is very helpful.
Thanks for this! Been trying to teach my kid for almost a week, and with this he got it easily!

I love you for this. I've been trying to find something to break it down easier. This was awesome
This video has literally changed my life...for the better. Thanks, man! Much love
Comments like that makes my week. Thank you so much!!!!
Your video was so good. Everything is so much more sense now. Thanks for being a champ. God Bles.
I have watched a few videos on Go and been perplexed by the logic. "Supply lines" made everything fall into place! Thanks...

The "supply line" analogy is a great way to look at it
"Most people are gonna disagree with me and that's why we live in a world where people can have various opinions."

Great video man. Watched a couple others but this one was the easiest to understand.
CapnHolic glad to help!
CapnHolic hi
Thank you this clarified the blurry lines I had about go that the instruction manual did not cover, great video.
glad to help
Thank you for this!
Here I am 9 years later benefitting from you taking the time to teach us. Thank you!
I never considered myself a teacher. Just a student sharing what I'm learning. I appreciate the comment
Love strategy been playing chess since I was five and reading Sun Tzu. I wanted to learn this for so long and after watching HxH I decided I need to learn it know! Thanks man super good!
Great video man thank you I feel like you covered all my questions! Thank you!
Interesting game. Far more complex than I thought.
+Kleavers Try playing it on a large board and you will really be overwhelmed for quite a while.

It's the most complex board game in the world ;)
alphago has beat your human masters, robots are a game away from the planet of the apes domination! you are doomed, go now. go, go gadget! let's go!

NICE!

Glad to help
good explanation of the game, I started your video not knowing what go is, now I have an idea of how to play , thank you :)
Great video. I already knew the rules of Go from reading but here the e smokes are very well illustrated and narrated.
Very clear descriptions. Good job!
Thx. It's a very old video...
Just ordered a cheap 19x19 to start and teach my nephew to teach him strategic "big picture" thinking. Thanks for the vid, from a fellow dude 🤙
🤙
thanks for the vid, well explained. that first little rule is a tricky one (strategy wise)
Thanks for this video. Good on you for giving us beginners a helping hand.
glad to help.
Much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to explain.
I had watched a different tutorial, but something wasn't clicking. When you explained the liberty to be like a supply line, it really helped me understand [: Thank you!
Despite you confusing black and white (and sides and corners) a couple of times, a very helpful video! Thanks :)
Well done ! Avoids the "esoteric subtleties" and gives the student a clear grounding in what is a VERY difficult game to master
Clear and easy to follow instructions! Thank you!
thank you for the video! it really helped me to understand the game :)
Nicely explained the importance of specific moves
Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much !
Thanks for sharing! I saved a lot of time because your comment about "9x9" and "big picture" game vision. Great!
Great video! Thank you
Great tutorial. Next time I need to explain go to someone I am going to show them this video.
I agree w you on the 13x13 statement. If I wanna play a big game that isn't that long, it's really fun.
FINALLY a good GO video! Thank you!!!!
Thankx!!!!
Where did you get that Go set? It's beautiful.
Much appreciated. :)
Needed some reminding!
Thank you very much!! for your patience and kindness I will learn it !
Awesome
Great Vid! Thanks for the making of it!
Thie video is amazing. It has seriously saved me so much time
"ad infinitum" was ok. :)
this actually sounds fun
nicely taught. Thank you.
You are my spirit animal.
Great video! i learned it very easy with your video
@ 0:50 I completely agree, the 9x9 is not teaching me much anymore, 3 months into learning. Trying to wrap your head around the 19x19 definitely requires 13x13 practice if you are a new player imo.
Well done….. you have inspired me to get av13 set… thanks
Yea!!!!

Thank you for the overview!
Decided to learn go and this video was really helpful thank you :)
Just getting into the game. Thanks for the vid. Where'd you get the set?
COOOL! thanks for explaining! 👍💋
More people should learn this so thank you
Played same game 20 years ago, but it was played on a piece of paper and we used to call it ground, cause when you capture one or more of your opponents dots, you get to mark that territory.
This was so clear and helpful. Thank you for this video.
Just heard about this game. Pretty interesting and the rules seem fairly simple enough to start. Thanks for the explaination.
Hikaru no go makes so much more sense now 😩✨👌🏾💖
Thank you for making this video. Very helpful!
Thank you for this video, I am so happy I watched this.
Thanks for the vid! ^_^
Great simple explanation - thank you!
Nicely paced and well constructed tutorial. A job well done 🤓✌️
Thought chess was at the top.. just started playing this.. thoughts change
Thanks for the help.
Always wondered. Thank you.
Thank you you made this soooo easy
Thanks for posting! Very easy to follow 😃
Awesome Thanks for showing the rules!!
This is very intriguing...
Thank you!
I think you can thank Google DeepMind Alpha Go for the huge jump in views :)
+Spuds7er Wow no kidding!
+theduddha2 Hey man, thanks for the video but can I ask what precisely counts as territory and how does the game end? Like, I'm assuming you can't replay in an area where your stones had previously been captured, right? If I watch your example game, will this explain everything?
I will beat deepmind one day , one day will.come
Oh yeah that's why I'm here
Very clear video , I actually feel like it is something I could grasp !
You can! Not hard to learn, only to master
well you know, 8 years after this video was posted i'm finding it helpful to understand the concepts of go. though it was so long ago, thank you for making this and not messing around in the explanations.
Excellent, really informative. Thank you.
12:29 till "I'll probably gonna title the video *learn go in 15 minutes*" sounds like an Interdimensional Cable commercial
it's also much easier to play stones in tight spots if you hold them correctly
Well explained, thanks
Great video, thanks!
Nicely Explained
Wow what a great video
Thanks a lot for the video
thx was a good introduction, as i received the game for xmas 2014, used to play alot back gammon, but this sounds more complex and an unending amount of possibilities
You heard correct! Enjoy your Go!
This is a very useful tutorial! Definitely bookmarked it! :)
+SugarCoder Thank you
+SugarCoder thx
Thank you for this video, this is really helpful and I'm excited to try go online!
