How to Play Go: Rules Explained | Beginner Tutorial on Go Game, Baduk, Weiqi

You are a brilliant teacher Sir.

do those japanese words have understandable transliterations? Like what does atari literally mean?

I've always wanted to learn Go, but never understood it. This is helping. So far so good. Or maybe go far go good. Lolmfao. Sorry, I'm looking forward to the next lesson. Thanks Mr Uploader.

Hikaru no go is one of my favorites. This helps with that.

I'm a black guy and im trying to impress my crush she's Korean😅thanks

Just finished Hikaru no Go, that's why I am here

Szacun 👌👍

SUPERB video on beginning Go.

“…no need for crushing your enemy or world domination.”

Someone’s chicken.

completely new to this so I have a basic question. Why does the stone in the corner have two liberties? I assumed it would have been three

Finally a good explanation

Brilliant explanation, thanks

I want to learn to play Go more than anything. But I find it absolutely impossible to learn. Such a simple, yet totally inscrutable, game.

thank you!! obrigado daqui do Brasil

Says black goes first; places white stone to demonstrate

I am 69 years old. Yours is the best introduction to the game I have ever seen

Go rules is so easy but why playing it is so hard.

Finally!! The one thing that Hikaru no Go didn't mention at all in any of his chapters

I thank you for this crash course on Go. I love games of strategy like Chess and Sequence, so this one is a good strategy game in a different sort of way. The game of Go brings to mind the Battle of Dyrrhachium in 48 BC, where Caesar's legions built a wall to trap Pompey Magnus against the sea. Pompey's men also built a wall to try and enclose Caesar's men, and it was a race of whose wall could trap the other first, much like Go. Caesar's men trapped Pompey, cutting off access to fresh water and Pompey was up against the clock. Sure, Caesar lost that battle and had to regroup where he ultimately won that civil war one month later at the Battle of Pharsalus to make up for that, but if the Battle of Dyrrhachium was a game of Go, Caesar would have won.

Step 1:
Find Alpha Go

Five minutes to learn

A lifetime to master

Go on Then..

this video was extremely informative thank you for sharing and teaching us something new.

I've always wanted to learn Go. Thank you for the easy explanation.

Excellent explanation! What board do you use, and can I buy it online?

thx

Very easy to understand :D! I play shogi. But my friend only plays Go. So this would be very useful thank you :D!

很不错的教学~我一直好奇外国有没有人玩围棋，看来有兴趣了解它的人还不少

8mins and you need a second video to explain something that should have been explained in 4mins

Ok, now I know what go is

Genuinely came here bc of the liveaction one piece

More simple than I had thought. Less complicated than chess, but just as much a strategy game.

This video was great; thanks for putting this out!

I am a beginner to the game and have just started watching your videos. I apologize if I'm sounding daft because I really appreciate the tutorials, and your explanations are thorough and concise. But I liken learning this game to learning a language. One can not take the first day basics and then jump to 4'th year fluent speaking. I've watched another video and feel I've missed many lessons that should come in between. Is there a suggested order to watch the videos in that take one through the natural progression of learning the game and learning the nuances as situations get more complex?

This is unrelated but, what editor do you use to do those fun animations? After effects or just with Premiere Pro?

Perfect explanation!

Great video! I’ve never played but am really interested in it. It’s a great game concept and so tinkers.

These lessons are great. I’ve always wanted to learn Go and maybe now I finally will.

One suggestion: it would be really helpful if you added sequential numbers to the videos' titles to make it easier to watch them in order. Thanks!

Glad that I clicked! This is awesome. You have made a high quality video! Best wishes.

Welp, time to re-read Hikaru no Go.... again

This was absolutely outstanding. Bravo. You made an EXCELLENT video on Go.
You should be proud of yourself.

Simple, clear explanations.
Great video quality.
Great articulation.
Great animations/visuals.
Concise.

Just excellent.
You're gonna help sooooo many people in the years to come who stumble across this video.

Hikaru no go

so a capture is technically 2 points?

Boring

Was introduced in Go last 2007 cuz of the Anime Hikari no Go and never bothered to know who the game works, I was like (ok that happened and he win) now after decades I finally grasped the logic of the game. Too bad its might be a board game that doesn't or extremely rare in my country. Still glad I finally understand how Go works. Great video btw

So that's where it goes

so all the stones are just kings? they dont get "captured", they get suffocated. They move to one square in each direction(vertices in this case). Did I get that right?

I have work in a couple of hours. And in desperate need of sleep, I have no one to play GO with nor do I have a playing board for GO. Why the hell did I watched through 8mins.of this tutorial?

Incredibly concise and easy to understand explanation.
