I really have to say, the educational design with the animations etc is just so amazing, and on a completely another level compared to all go yt teachings i know. Thank you very much for all your hard work, i do hope it pays of for you.

[@GoMagic]

Thank you so much for such high praise!

[@xomvoid_akaluchiru_987]

I noticed it as well, the animations and editing in these videos is great!

[@xomvoid_akaluchiru_987]

I really want to play a mini game of Atari Go with some friends now! I understand very well these basics of how the game can be played, but I will absolutely gain a better understanding if I actually play for myself.

[@naseempopov9013]

im still new to (go) but i can safely say you are already my favorite channel .

[@GoMagic]

Thanks! Keep it cool and we'll teach you some great Go stuff! =)

Welcome!

[@gotophealthcareptyltd8305]

Very good!

[@Mozescodes]

Getting bored of Chess, Go seems like such a step up and a creative game!

[@GoMagic]

I wonder what we can do after Go...

[@LittleBobbyHasTables]

@@GoMagic possibilities are endless: increase board size or change board shape (I've seen an example of custom goban, forgot where exactly) or 3D Go - although it might be difficult to represent it (maybe using that Apple Vision headset?).

I playing Hectars Go's Atari Go, but I stuck at level 11. I tried all of these but doesn't really help at that level. However It is still fun to learn from my fails. I hope I can move further soon. I think it's helps develope my reading ability.

[@GoMagic]

It's fun but it's only the first step, try moving on to regular Go. There is one-color Atari Go on gomagic.org now, you can check it out too=)

Is it 6.5 points for white no matter the board size?

[@GoMagic]

yes!

Thanks

I like GONNECT better. For one thing, life/death ability is even more important in gonnect than in regular go. Gonnect is a BETTER GAME than Go. Its way cooler. You should try it.

[@GoMagic]

Is that a real game? Can you share a link to the rules?

[@Arcticp75]

@@GoMagic en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonnect It's a Go variation blending the game Hex (connect two opposite sides in a chain) and Go. I've enjoyed playing Hex and enjoy Go, but personally have never tried playing Gonnect. @Zurround What about it do you enjoy? Why is life and death ability in Gonnect even more important than in Go?

Where to buy such a little GO.

[@GoMagic]

You mean 9x9 board? Such boards are great for training and improving your skills. Usually you can find them on various marketplaces, for example Amazon.

[@skyzane2735]

Is AtariGo setup always like this? Or it can start with a blank board and both players can decide where to place their initial stones as the game begins normally?

[@GoMagic]

As far as we know, it usually works like this. Surely you can start with a blank board or experiment with other initial setups.

[@gotophealthcareptyltd8305]

1:50 No

[@learningisfun273]

Where did you get that 9x9 board from?

[@GoMagic]

We don't remember. Probably from some local store.

[@Sakuraigi]

How do I recognize ladders?

[@GoMagic]

Notice the shape that is shown in the lesson. Next step - notice this shape BEFORE it even appears.

I appreciate your videos, and they are well done. My only issue is that you use Japanese terms throughout your videos, and the game was invented in China as WeiGi, , and then moved to Korea , where it's called Baduk, and that's where I learned it. So, using Japanese is confusing. Any way thanks, I Like your content.

[@GoMagic]

Yup, but there's a reason for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3-UYXh-g8l9oLM

Seemed like a fun and simple enough game to learn intuitively for a second, but after playing some games online I'm finding out I'm just not good at it intuitively, just like checkers or chess - and I realize that it's gonna take a lot of practice and repetitively learning patterns and moves to get the hang of it - and I don't like that at all. Something about strategic thinking that I'm just not good at, not even interested in getting good at.. Just as fast as your videos got me interested, I got disinterested by playing only a few online games. So as quickly as I followed you, I'm going to unfollow. Thanks anyway.

[@GoMagic]

Interesting. Do you know ANY games that one could learn to be really good at intuitively without any repetitive practice?
