Go is awesome. I've been playing a few games every year or so, but lately I got really hooked. In the last two weeks I played about as many games as I had in all the previous years, so that's something. There's just something really cool about go, the clash of ideas and minds etc etc, Anyways, I decided to do a battle report on one of my own games, but while I was working through it I realized just how hard it is to do proper graphics and stuff to present information in an understandable manner so I said screw that and did a quick video instead.

Here are the rules of go, from wikipedia just so you have some idea wtf is going on.

TLDR: Surround territory to make points (good). Stones surrounded by opponent die (bad).

The board is empty at the onset of the game (unless players agree to place a handicap).
Black makes the first move, after which White and Black alternate.
A move consists of placing one stone of one's own color on an empty intersection on the board.
A player may pass his turn at any time.
A stone or solidly connected group of stones of one color is captured and removed from the board when all the intersections directly adjacent to it are occupied by the enemy. (Capture of the enemy takes precedence over self-capture.)
No stone may be played so as to recreate a former board position.
Two consecutive passes end the game.
A player's territory consists of all the points the player has either occupied or surrounded.
The player with more territory wins.




P.s. I'm awful at go. I'm also awful at many other things, including english and producing videos that have correct aspect ratio. Sorry about that.

Hi! My bro and I play Go also (he more than me) on kgs which it looks like you use too . He's at around 3k right now and I got to 8k but kinda stopped because he would ez me whenever we would play and I wasn't improving very fast.

5/5 because Go :D

I used to be a bad 4d on KGS, more like strong 3d, but stopped playing 3 years ago when I found out the BW pro-scene.

I bet TheCaptain is still 4d, twoeye is still 6d and kyu players still make completely wrong comments on why the 9d played that particular move and refuse to acknowledge they are wrong lol

Go used to be fun while I was improving, but once I got stuck at the 3/4d ranks I got bored of it.

Btw, I don't remember josekis and fusekis anymore, but if I'm not mistaken B opened with the chinese fuseki but fucked up by playing heavy on the bottom left corner.

Also, playing J4 is completely bad, achieves nothing and only made W shape stronger.

I think W N3 is ok, not sure, but I remember W N4, B L4, W Q6 used to be the standard joseki in this case.
