  • Modern Master Games Volume One the Dawn of Tournament Go
    Modern Master Games Volume One The games presented in Modern Master Games, Volume One were played in turbulent The Dawn of times. When the first Honinbo tournament was Tournament Go established, the war had not yet seriously affected the Japanese go world or the daily life of the average Japanese. But by the time of the third Honinbo tournament, Japanese society Rob van Zeijst was in chaos; the atomic bomb was dropped and just 10 kilometers from where the second game Richard Bozulich of the title match was being played. After the war, life was slowly returning to With historical notes by normal. By the 1950s, the go world was again John Power abuzz. Rivalries were flourishing, and newspapers were establishing new tournaments with abundant prize money. As the post-war go world was reorganizing itself, the matches played were of much consequence — it became more than just winning a title. The results were to determine the organizations that governed the game in Japan until today. The pressures on the players were intense, and it exposed their psychological strengths as well as fragilities. Takagawa’s games in this book show how dangerous it is to underestimate an opponent. It was almost unbelievable to some that the mild-mannered Takagawa, whose quiet and laid-back style, never attacking too strongly, and lacking the brilliance of a player like Sakata, could hold the Honinbo title against all comers for nearly 10 years. Sakata’s games are good illustrations of the slashing style which earned him the moniker Razor-Sharp Sakata. We also see examples of the depth of his analysis in which he makes an unorthodox peep (dubbed the tesuji of the century) against Fujisawa Shuko that entails another tesuji 15 moves later whose consequences also have to be analyzed.

  • STEAM 19 GO [NEW SLIDE] 0:00 in This Video We're Going to Talk About the Game of Go, Also Called Baduk Or Wei- Chi. I Find
    STEAM 19 GO [NEW SLIDE] 0:00 In this video we’re going to talk about the game of go, also called baduk or wei- chi. I find this an incredibly important game to put into your curriculum. Even though it may not fit with your benchmarks, there’s so many reasons to add this. We’re going to talk now about those reasons, and in the next video we’re going to learn the rules of the game. The first thing to realize is, it’s only played with black and white stones. It’s very simple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_%28game%29 [NEW SLIDE] 0:34 Let’s talk about where it came from. It was developed in China about 4000 years ago. It’s one of the oldest strategy games known. And originally, if you look at this picture, it was played on a scroll. It now looks different. But it certainly is very much still the same game that was developed so many thousands of years ago. Think about the game of chess. It’s based on a feudal system of Europe. Where there are kings and queens and pawns and a definite hierarchy, all the pieces move in different ways, and it can be quite confusing to learn. Go is more simplistic, there’s only two pieces. Once they go on the board they don’t move around. And it’s based more on a yin and yang philosophy. In chess it’s your goal to annihilate the king of the other team and as many pieces as possible.

  • The Game of Go: from Ancient Art to Modern Research
    The Game of Go from ancient art to modern research Eleanor Hogan, Asian Studies Todd Neller, Computer Science Games as Art Game play is an art. 1. Conscious production or arrangement of elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty 2. Skill that is attained by study, practice, or observation culturally ubiquitous We offer Go to you as a high example of this art. History of Go China – Go is called “Wei-chi” Earliest references are from 6th century BC China in Confucius’ Analects Legends: Emperor Yao (2357-2255 BC) invented Go to help his son learn. Shun (2255-2205 BC) invented Go to teach his son. Learn what? Patience, strategy. Japan By 7th century AD, the game had reached Japan via a Japanese emissary, who was sent by the Japanese court to the city of Chang’an during the T’ang dynasty. Chinese records of the Sui Dynasty (circa 618) make reference to the Japanese playing Go. Kojiki, recorded in 712, in man’yogana (mismash of Chinese and Japanese language) 中国 ちゅうごく China Heian Period 794-1185 Go was popular at imperial court by mid 8th century in Japan Male and female characters in The Tale of Genji (~1000 AD) play Go.

  • The Image of Baduk in the West Marketing Baduk to the Public in the United Kingdom
    The Image of Baduk in the West Marketing Baduk to the public in the United Kingdom 1. Introduction There are many Baduk enthusiasts in Western countries. In the UK, for example, there are around 70 clubs for the game, and there are tournaments taking place most weekends during the year. However, Baduk remains much less popular here than many other competitive board games such as Chess, Backgammon and Scrabble. And it does not come anywhere close to the popularity it has in the East Asian countries where it has traditionally been played. Moreover, in recent times the popularity of Baduk in many Western countries has stagnated. In the UK there has been no great growth in the game since the 1970s when the British Go Association had over 1000 members. Some have suggested that the reason Baduk has not managed to attract more enthusiasts is due to the image that people have of the game. The purpose of this paper is to look at what image Baduk has in the UK and in the West generally, and to see whether this image is holding back the development of the game. We will also draw some comparisons with other mind sports. Section 2 contains a statement of the perceived problem with some anecdotal reports of attitudes to Baduk. Section 3 looks at the image of Baduk in more detail by presenting a large-scale analysis of views on Baduk taken from the thousands of reviews and comments on the BoardGameGeek website. Section 4 summarises the findings on perceptions of Baduk in the West.

  • Teaching Children to Become Go Players an Afterschool Program
    Teaching Children to Become Go Players An Afterschool Program Overview: This paper will review the elements of a successful program teaching children to play Go in an afterschool program. While the presence of any, or any combination, of these elements can make a good program, the presence of all of them makes success highly likely. Success is defined not by children learning to play Go, but by children becoming Go players, people who independently seek opportunities to play Go and improve their games. Background. This paper presents lessons learned at a program that was begun years ago as an after-school chess club in an elementary school. The parent volunteer learned Go, loved the game, and morphed it into a chess and Go club several years ago. About 35 children participate. Originally the group was divided in half, using a classroom for chess and the computer lab for Go, switching each group between Go and chess each week. Later, the switch occurred after four weeks of play. This is my third year teaching in the program, and I now run it. On a typical day there are two volunteers in each classroom. The original parent volunteer returned to school this year and is no longer associated with the program. The System. It is not that difficult to get into a school to demonstrate the game of Go, or even to start an afterschool club. But without significant systemic support success is likely to be limited. That is, children will be exposed to Go, but won't become Go players. During the past four years I've been in a number of schools to demonstrate and/or teach elementary school children to play Go, but in only one school do I believe I am creating Go players.

Problems, which the reader should try to solve as he reads along, fill about half the pages. Most of them will yield to a direct application of the ideas in the text, although in some of the problems at the ends of the chapters the reader will be on his own.
