Now I'm starting to understand the flow of Go. Just about every board game I've played starts players off in some kind of origin point, and each player would move outwards from there. Simplifying things even further, each piece has limits on its ability to move. This makes chess, checkers, and many modern board games very intuitive to get started. Go is totally different from those. As a noob, I'm often overwhelmed by the amount of freedom Go provides both players: anywhere from 81 to over 300 possible places for BOTH players to play their pieces. So I knew that I needed to learn what works and what doesn't. This video has certainly helped a ton.

Finally I learned something about openings. In Chess it’s important to take control of the center, in Go it’s quite the opposite.

- Familiarize with the rules of Go on a 9x9 board before advancing to larger boards. (0:01)

- Understand the strategic dimension added by moving from a 9x9 to a 13x13 board. (0:25)

- Recognize that corners are easier to secure than sides or the center due to the board's geometry. (0:47)

- Start your game by claiming corners because they require fewer stones to secure. (1:54)

- Avoid playing on the 1st and 2nd lines at the beginning of the game to maximize territory. (3:07)

- Learn the 3-3 (san-san) move for a safe and secure corner hold. (3:25)

- Explore the 4-4 (hoshi) move for an ambitious, center-directed play. (3:59)

- Consider the 3-4 point for a flexible and classic territorial approach. (5:15)

- Follow the corner-side-center principle to set a strong foundation in your Go games. (8:07)

I was glad to see you reupload with the fixed aspect ratios on the go board images. Appreciate the effort, and very nice work editing as usual! :)

Before I start playing Go, I had similar game in my country, but play a bit differently.
Starting in the most center point is very beneficial because it's where you can rake in points.
Meanwhile, starting in side and corner are safer choice since you can't kill them. Immortal, basically.
This had become solid habit of mine. The first game of Go in my life, I play against my older brother.
He won few prizes already, and I didn't know how different rule can change play style that much.
Yes, the first ever move in Go I made, CENTER STAR.
My brother was like Uuuu FEISTY.

I’m glad you have discussed the rules and strategies. Became interested after watching the new Netflix show Captivating the King. Lots of politics and links to the game

That was so helpful. I thought to give 13x13 a try after playing quiet good number of 9x9 (according to me) and get a good idea about the perspectives and strategies, offence/defense etc. But I was so confused to where to start in this 13x13 board. This made it very clear. Thank you Sensei :D

Please make a complete guide to this game from the beginner to the master level in one video. It's hard to search for several videos about it

I played a kid who thought it went Center - Sides - Corner and managed to win more than half of his games because while everyone else thought they were winning by taking all the corners and the sides; the kid managed to take the entire center.

Is there somewhere to watch old go tournaments like the one you used a clip of?

Does anyone know how to improve with self study and how to approach it? For a kinaesthetic learner!?!?
