Hebsacker-Verlag, PDF-Katalog 03/2017
Hebsacker-Verlag, PDF-Katalog 03/2017 Der Hebsacker Verlag ist eine Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts (GbR). 2002 wurde sie von den beiden heutigen Inhabern Steffi Hebsacker und Tobias Berben mit dem Ziel gegründet, die Verbreitung des Go-Spiels in Deutschland zu fördern. Der Anstoss zur Gründung eines Spiele- und Buchverlags ergab sich aus der Tatsache, dass der Ravensburger Spieleverlag nach vielen Jahren die Produktion von preisgünstigen Go-Spielen eingestellt hatte. Ersatz war gefragt, um gerade auch Kindern und Jugendlichen ein bezahlbares Go-Spiel anbieten zu können. Steffi Hebsacker entwarf daher ein Go-Spiel aus Papier und Pappe und setzte dessen Produktion mit Unterstützung des Deutschen Go-Bundes e. V. um. Nahezu zeitgleich realisierte Tobias Berben den Neudruck des Go-Buch-Klassikers "Go. Die Mitte des Himmels" von Micheal Koulen, der beim Kölner DuMont Verlag in drei Auflagen erschienen, aber nicht wieder aufgelegt worden war. Zusammen gründeten dann beide als Rahmen für ihre Projekte den gemeinsamen Verlag. Relativ bald wurde klar, dass für den Verlag eine eigene Website sowie ein Webshop eingerichtet werden muss. Im Frühjahr 2003 folgte der Ausbau des Webshops auf ein umfassendes Angebot an Go-Spielmaterial und -Büchern, 2004 die Umstellung auf die heute verwendete, leistungsfähige Shop-Software. Bis heute folgte eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Projekte und ein kontinuierlicher Ausbau des Webshops, dessen Angobot nun auch andere Denk- und Strategiespiele umfasst. Neben dem Verlag und dem Shop ist die redaktionelle sowie technische Betreuung der Deutschen Go-Zeitung eine unserer zentralen Aktivitäten. Zudem veranstalten wir Seminare und Turniere und sponsern einen Jugendpreis, eine Bundesligamannschaft sowie zwei Websites. Dieser Katalog umfasst alle derzeit bei uns erhältlichen Artikel. -

hereby announces the fourth Go to China trip, summer 2007 Go’n’Games has to date arranged 2 Go to China trips, in the summers of 2004 and 2005. The interest in the trips has become greater and greater, and the third trip is very international, with around 30 participants from nearly 10 different countries. To date our trips have all been based in Beijing, but in 2007, we hope to be able to be able to offer even more flexibility, with trips to Shanghai and Beijing!

During the trip, teaching by pro players and visits to top professional events will also be organized. We will do our best to cater all of your special needs. "Hi, my name is Jan Czarnomski. I'm 16 years old and I'm from Germany. When I went to China I was just 15 years old, so my parents had a bad feeling about the trip to China. China is so far away and I'm a young boy. But in the end I found out, that there was no reason for such a feeling. The trip was an unique experience, that I would never repent. On the trip you could play go, relax, enjoy the great food, explore the Chinese culture...and much more. And when I came back to Germany, my parents asked me, if I missed them. I answered: "There was so much to do, I didn't have the time to miss you." Daniel Jeppsson: The summer of 2005 forty Go interested people went to China for a truly unique experience. -

Style Consensus: Style of Professional Players Judged by Strong Players
Style Consensus: Style of Professional Players Judged by Strong Players Josef Moudˇr´ık, Petr Baudiˇs Faculty of Math and Physics, Charles University, Prague, CZ May 30, 2013 Abstract GoStyle (Moudˇr´ık and Baudiˇs, 2013) is a project we founded to study possibilities of computer analysis of databases of Go games. As a part of this project, we conducted (partly manual and partly online) a questionnaire, where we ask experts (strong amateur or professional players) to judge styles of several professional Go players. The experts were asked to judge each pro- fessional on four scales reflecting the traditional Go knowledge. In this report, we publish these results, along with definitions of styles and acknowledgement of the interviewees. The purpose is to make the data available to the general public. 1 Questionnaire Setup We chose a small subset of well known players (mainly from the 20th century) and asked some experts (professional and strong amateur players; see acknowledgement) to evaluate these players using a questionnaire. Initially (first three experts from the acknowledgement) this was done by hand using an e-mail based questionnaire, the rest of the experts were asked using our online questionnaire1. The experts were asked to value the players on four scales, each ranging from 1 to 10. Style 1 10 Territoriality Moyo Territory Orthodoxity Classic Novel Aggressivity Calm Fighting Thickness Safe Shinogi 1http://gostyle.j2m.cz/questionare.html 1 The scales try to reflect some of the traditionally perceived playing styles.2 For example, the first scale (territoriality) stresses whether a player prefers safe, yet inherently smaller territory (number 10 on the scale), or roughly sketched large territory (moyo, 1 on the scale), which is however insecure.
