How To Play Go (Beginner Tutorial)

This wasn't a tutorial, it was a run down of the rules. Can anyone point me to a video that goes through basic tactics? Literally every resource I've found goes on about the rules. I know what a liberty is, but I don't know how to form strategy.

Thanks, I really could not have figured out all this from an app I downloaded.

thank you so much

Go is a difficult game to master because how abstract and flexible the strategy is.
It’s about building, capturing , claiming territory, recognizing patterns, analyzing the board, not being greedy and so forth.

Hate to tell you but 420 happens to be Hitler's birthday.

I was never able to figure out all the legalities of playing Go even tho I tried off and on for decades. Maybe my brain is too smooth.

Thanks for an easy-to-understand tutorial. However, I could not work out how you calculated the points/score from the open intersections. I tried for both black and white but didn't reach the numbers you mentioned. Could you pls explain this in detail? Thnx

Who's here from watching the Live Action One Piece? I am :D

Some suggestions: 1. Before doing a video on go, learn how to hold and place the stones. Its easy. 2. When showing a go board, the grain of the wood on the board should run up/down, not left right, unless you are showing players facing each other from the left and the right. The grid squares are typically not even square, but taller in the wood grain dimension. 3. You provide terminology, but the single most common term you consistently fail to use is STONES. The markers are called stones! 4. The size of the board is not adjusted for player ability (a handicap is provided to adjust for that). Though the smallest board might be used to drill someone in tactics before moving to a larger one. The 9x9 board is preferred for a tactical lightning game, the 13x13 is to scale the game into a chess-like/lunchtime time frame, since 19x19 is a bigger time investment. 5. You described connected stones as "units" and while that is a useful word, in 30 years I've been playing go, I have never ever ever heard them called "units". There are three common terms for them. The most common term is "groups" (though others will use the term group more loosely than that), or they are more technically called either "strings" or "chains". 6. End the game by passing stones is not at all a universal convention. It was adopted by the American Go Association, but the game has been played for literally thousands of years without passing stones.

you dont call this tutorial. you call this corporate manual that no one wants to read and proceed

Why is it so racist, there’s only white capturing black

Im interested this game because of the kdrama that i watch❤

u guys know this game for the glory meanwhile me from reply 1988 😭

If you watched the glory and obsessed with Go then watch Kwon sang woo's movie The Divine Move 2

I thought they were called stones, not markers?

Reply 1988 made me interested in Go play

Who is here after watching the Glory?😅

Who came here to learn to play go being inspired by the glory

Who also got motivated to learn after watching the glory

OMGOSH you make it sound so much easier than I thought it was😮
I watch The Glory and I have become inspired to learn to play GO🥰 Thank you so much for this tutorial tutorial 💕

Thanks for this! Helpful!

Legends came here after The Glory.

What game is this?

Hey Kiddo

Sooooo who else is here because they can't beat the rabbit in warframe?

Im here after watching 1988

It would so much more fun to play in a tournament if with each capture a referee intones, "Sweet," or "Divine."

Legends came here after watching 'The Glory'....

its all about the intersections not being taken over. Seems like a very tactical and analytical game. would like to play.

Who's here because Adam Conover's AI video?

All coming here after watching glory😅, and By The Divine move 🙌

The proper way to pick up the stones (not markers) is by sandwiching them between your index and middle fingers with the index finger at the bottom. Do it in any other way, and you signal to your opponent that you're a beginner.

Hit like if you came here after seeing "Go Game" in the Glory 😜

Glory watchers?😂

Fair explanation - just a little fast to understand the concepts at the midway and end. I'll need to review it a couple times since I have never played game before. Thanks

Watching this because of Choi Taek (reply 1988) and CEO Do Young (The Glory) hehe

who's there after "The glory"?😅

Why are you saying marker instead of stone?

I'm here because of Reply 1988 and The Glory :)

here after watching 2014 movie the divine move, lol!

Thank you for posting! I'm obssessed with the Netflix series "The Glory" and really want to learn how to play.

Here after watching The Glory. I want to learn the basics so maybe I can play in a park when I visit Korea. 😎

Anybody else here after watching The Glory

They’re called stones, not “markers.”

How is the compensated amount agreed upon? E.g. what’s it based on, is it completely random or is there a mathematical way to work out how much of a disadvantage the white player is at in terms of points?
Also, is the rule, that you can’t play a counter in such a way that repeats a prior position, indefinite - or can you do it after a certain number of other goes?

Who else got interested and curious in this game after watching it from a kdrama series "The Glory" starrying Song hye yo? Hhaha

Unit? Markers? If you're going to make a tutorial, then at least get the basic terms right. They're called groups and stones.

Is there a guideline for figuring out the compensation that white gets or is that more just something the two players agree upon?

Thank you. I just learned from watching once. It was clear
