Hello future go players! If you’re watching this, you might be new to the game, so let me be the first to welcome you! I made a short video that introduces completely new players to the basic concepts of Go. How to win, territory, and the nuances of capturing. I hope this is a good starting point, and in the videos to come I’ll outline a regimen you can follow to improve quickly! Don’t hesitate to leave questions in the comments below!

You are doing a perfect job, thank you.
Awesome video man really explained it well
Thanks for these videos. Im a visual student and this clears up a lot of confusion.
Thanks
I would like to be able to read moves
Yeah… I heard it from hikari no go
The intro surprise me
I thought the board is supposed to be 9×9 ?
Can someone tell me what type of Go this is. Is it Chinese Japanese new Zealand etc. Need help
Excellent, simple explanation. I’m brand new and very excited. Thanks!
Hilary no go is the manga I got the idea to play go from
You’re an excellent teacher.

l don’t understand . lf you don’t cover the corners how is it that the territory is surrounded?
Love this game.
Thanks!!
Great introduction! Supbscriber earned 🙂 what is the software you are using in this video?
Hello and Greetings In Sente!
Did you mentioned when the game ends, because if so, I missed it. 😀
Please, what program or app are you using to explain…?
Hi thanks for the intro series – very helpful – surprisingly difficult game to get to grips with I am floundering so far. Can you tell me what website/software you are using to present the playing board? Thanks
the toughest game, years but still have no clue of strategy. Like Shoji. Never won a game.
Hikaru no Go… Thats why i became interested…
I know I’m late to the party, but there is a glaring question that I got no answer for, yet. You count territory by counting the vacant intersections. If I were t place a stone right inside my opponents territory, he can surround and capture my stone. While that would give him a point for a captured stone, it would also cost him vacant intersections. From all explanations I have seen so far, this would be a highly beneficial move for me, because he has to fill in several scoring vacancies in order to capture that one stone, so I could annoy the heck out of him by placing random stones in his territory.
If you could provide an inside into this, that would be much appreciated.
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

I like Chess more…
Thanks for the video, today is the first time I’m learning Go! Hope I get good at it.
You don’t explain what territories are, how people get points before you ask the audience to figure out how many points they have. Why?
Thanks for help. Good job.
Appreciate the tutorial. I watched the anime and try to play the game on the app and was getting my ass kicked every time. I watched this video months ago, and now I’m getting wins here and there. I’m nowhere near good, but at least I know what I’m doing. Thanks!
really cool vid
Have you ever kissed a man?
Go is pretty hard bud, genuinely challenging . Thanks for the video.
i just saw a small documentary trailer go and want to learn
You seem smart and possibly gay. Nice video tho
Never watched Hikaru no Go but I am going to now 😀 Thanks!
Good job!
I guess this follow the Japanese rules?
thank you for taking the time to create this instructional video. It was simple and focused. A+
