I wanna say, this was excellent for a beginner (me.) I hate slow paced instruction that rambles and this was that, 'straight to the point, listen than do,' kinda teaching I love. Thank a bunch!
+ＳＭＯҟＥ You can play in the enemies territory if you want. In the situation presented, it is very likely that your opponent would take all the pieces that you put on their side. If you think you are a much stronger player, go for it. If you want say enough is enough and start a new game, do that.
you can always play if you think your oppnent has a serius weak point on his territory, if the battle end in neutral with random black and withe stones you've preaty much just loose your time cose the territory is still of the owner... if that territory is so big, however theres a chance to have the shape of an island BTW pro players dont play like that they (white) try to neutralize the opponent (black) since the beggining
BTW2 trying to invade the enemy's territory is more usseful in the chinise score sistem (in japanese the stones taken don't really count in chinise rules they do)
Him: "So how do we know that this truly is black's territory? Why can't white just put a piece here?" Me: "Yes... yes... this is what I've been trying to figure out....." Him: "I'll go over that in another lecture..." Me: "GODDAMIT"
Ok so I may have missed this or something ... do players have a set number of stones and of so is that number different if the board size is smaller or larger?
can someone please help me out? if the situation on the board theoretically is such as in the video, the big black island, he already owns everything inside, right? if white makes an island within the island, does he get points or is he dead?
So how do you know if the area is truly black's? 13 minutes in that's exactly what I'm wondering and I've wondered the exact same thing during other Go videos. Anyone know which video I should watch to find out? It's this concept in Go I just can't wrap my head around, but it doesn't seem like any Go videos really explain it 🥺
Fantastic video, but I think you neglected to explain the idea of passing, with the caveat of how/when the game ends. Still an excellent explanation either way. :)
+Brad Hipsher Yes, that was on purpose. Most beginners are resistant to the idea that there is such a thing as "territory you cannot invade" so I'd rather people just get started rather than go through the two eyes idea when they cannot parse shapes well.
+Brad Hipsher The simple answer is that when a player does not think that any more territory can be taken, and none of their territory is at risk, they may pass. Two consecutive passes signal the end of the game.
Atari is an American company, and the word "atari" doesn't come from Go, it's a nominalized version of the Japanese verb "ataru", which in Go's case means "to strike the enemy" and in Atari's case, probably means "to be a hit". tangorin.com/general/ataru
Just because you CAN have cheesy, 1990s special effects swirling in the background, doesn't mean that you SHOULD have cheesy, 1990s special effects swirling in the background.
I learned Go 13 years ago after reading Hikaru no Go. Never stopped playing it, and actually reached 2 dan this year.
OMG 13 years. :(

this is the best beginner instruction I have found. thank you!
The example game you created showing how one might play out is a perfect simple demonstration. Really appreciate your videos!
im reaally thankful for these series!
I only came here to learn the answer to this question 13:00 and when you said you weren't gonna answer it I almost broke my keyboard.

Have you found out the answer to 13:00 ? I haven't and I'm not sure where to find it.

Amazing
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!! from Canada!
Dude your Chinese pronounciation is amazing!! (Your teaching is also amazing) but I just wanted to point that out!!
Good work at teaching! Arigato Sansei!! ^o^ !!!
loved the video and thanks for the introduction to the game.
Very nice, we enjoyed your enthusiasm!
I came due to AlphaGo, and stayed for the awesome background gfx. But very well explained :)
great video, thanks :)

If this video is Chapter One, then which of your videos comes next? You should number them. I'd like to learn more from you.
Thanks!!

Jonathan... do you use Yunzi or Glass or other? What size are the stones you use as well?
What about captured stones?
Ok so I may have missed this or something ... do players have a set number of stones and of so is that number different if the board size is smaller or larger?
i liked go game just bcuz of Hikaru no go anime lol *^* ~~~
can someone please help me out? if the situation on the board theoretically is such as in the video, the big black island, he already owns everything inside, right? if white makes an island within the island, does he get points or is he dead?
Atari was an American company, just FYI. Their name is Japanese and that Atari symbol is actually Mt. Fuji. It was still a California based company.

In "Game Over" They said it was Mt. Fuji.
lets get to it, urkel.
you really helped me
Thank you.Very helpful.
thank you. very helpful.
I just heard of this game, great video, thanks!
How many game pieces do you need for each side if the board size is 9 by 9?
40 should be more then enough
Does anybody know why this guy stopped making the series?
Huanran Diao He got really burned out trying to get super good, but now he's getting back into it maybe.
Huanran Diao I really enjoy his work

Is that +Sky Williams?

i see earl sweatshirts career has gone downhill since OF broke up

He totally does lmfao
This guy works at my summer camp his name is mr hop
+dharma abuel ...and?
Bonit Oh, what a.... LUCKY guy!
what if you have 2 coh's... cant you just go back and forth in a 4 turn loop?
Play it out and find out!
in a million years i would never predict dota can lead me to this . Universe is amazing
What about two eyes?
Next time, use something other than stones to define the playing area. Confusing.
So what do you do when there is a white stone in black territory at the end of the game?
+100smeet white stone get captured automatically. so its a capture point + a position point. 2 points for black

That's a fair point.
+Brad Hipsher i'm a beginner and yes i agree, i'm looking for a place that explains that

why is the board not square ?
So when you look at it from an angle it looks square.
Dennis Gaffney the vertical lines and horizontal lines are not equally spaced
what if there are two situations on the board that need to apply the ko rule?
The editing is not great, but still informative.
Grab anybody off the street! Go!
True its hard to find player of go since its not very popular

Nice video, but Atari wasn't a Japanese gaming system. Atari was an American company.
bosefasaurus Atari is a Japanese word though.
Do they sell black Mentos?
He just babbles until over two minutes in.

Thumbs down for mustache
for fucks sake.
Far too much waffling. Stop trying to be interesting and witty, life is too short. Just teach the rules of Go.
Thanks but too blabla .just get to the point. A girl took less time than you but we learned more. Goah we regret wasting our time on you.
0:41 he looks and sounds like Sky Williams
+caringcarrot I thought that aswell, would love it if he saw it :P
+chillowHD ikr it would be funny to see his reaction xD
