  • Introducing the Ancient Chinese game of Go, an abstract strategic board game.
    My name is Brian Chu, and welcome to my channel! Having played Go for over 10 years, my Go ranking is at amateur 4 dan (Chinese Weiqi Association), and I am making videos about Go for my High School project.
    The second episode of this series gives you a short and concise lesson on the two overarching concepts of the game: Liberties and Capturing Stones. The ideas are simple and easy to understand for anyone, at any age.
    To learn more about Go, please check out my other videos. Thank you for your support!

    Thank you. I have subscribed and will watch your channel to learn the game. I believe this game could be a bridge between East and West if we handle it properly.

    Nice video! Looking for a “how to” to show my son so we can play together, and noticed your figurine. I have the same one.

      Haha, what a coincidence! My sister bought me that figurine for my birthday. I'm glad you're learning Go with your son! This game is especially helpful for children, as it builds focus, attention, and patience, amongst a list of other benefits.

      @@maritzabelrivera1747The best bet is probably Amazon, or if you’re looking for a specialized online store I’d suggest Yellow Mountain (www.ymimports.com/collections/go) or Baduk Club (store.baduk.club/). Some local Asian supermarkets may also sell Go equipment if you are in North America.

    Nice Video, when does the game ends?

    • @BriansSchoolofGo
      @BriansSchoolofGo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question! A game of Go ends when both players pass their turn. This is usually done when all shared spaces (territory that is neither surrounded by black nor by white) are filled up by a stone or surrounded. When this happens, both players agree not to play anymore stones (since playing more stones would simply result in their capture and eventually removed from the board), and points are counted up for both sides to determine the winner.
      More on this in episode 6!

    I get that stuff I just can't understand territories

    • @BriansSchoolofGo
      @BriansSchoolofGo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Territories are areas on the board surrounded by a group of stones of the same color. Territories are only maintained if: 1. The surrounding group is "alive" (refer to Episode 4 on Life and Death), and 2. The opponent is unable to form a "live" group inside the territory. Thank you for your question! In the future, I will make a more detailed video about territories.

    This video is missing a lot before you can start to play. It doesn't even tell you who wins or when the game ends. I guess introducing the chinese term for everything was deemed to be more important. :D

      Sorry, but I don't speak or write Arabic. If you would like to, feel free to contribute subtitles to my videos! I will definitely look into translating my videos in the future.
