      @Analyzing Male Slavery It is. I've learned how to play chess when I was 10 and could play a satisfying game even if I'm losing, because at the end of the game you have a better grasp of why you lost. Go, I've learned as an adult and there still are moments when I play it that I feel so helpless and frustrated. There's something about seeing your opponent gain control of your territories right before your eyes and seemingly not being able to do something about it. Granted, I'm not a pro at both games, but I can say that Go intimidates me more than chess. Go fills my mind with so much worries when I'm playing it. 😅

      Go has only five rules, and yet you prefer chess? i would even give black a five point lead and still win due to my skill level. it's just a tad of thinking ahead. chess you want to have at least three to five moves ahead, but in go twelve to twenty in advance is a good start. not really hard, just requires planning in advance for a win.

    • @autistpatrol2493
      @autistpatrol2493 3 года назад +47

      Go is a hard abstract strategy game, one of, if THE, hardest game.
      You have to balance being progressive (making progress, forming tactics ahead of time) with being reactionary (reacting to you opponent, modifying or even abandon plans based on your opponents strategies and reactions).
      A game with no luck or RNG but pure skill.
      A good thing about GO is that it is fantastic for neuro-plasticity and keeping the brain healthy, it’s kinda like bodybuilding or martial arts sparring but for the brain. Even better than chess or shogi.
      There are a lot of games that train “logical reasoning” like crossword puzzles and sudoku but few games train “quantitative reasoning” (a unique skill used by commanding military officers, special forces/commandos and federal investigators like the FBI and US marshals).
      Watch the anime or read the manga “Hikaru No Go” it will introduce core concepts at an easy to understand pace.
      Go is tough at first but it’ll activate parts of your brain that you never realized you had and you start to feel smarter (actually just neuroplasticity/brain training) too.

      @UNIA LTD There is a technical reason "Go" is hard to search for and it is because most search engines use what is called a "trigram index" which requires at least 3 characters in order to work. Since "Go" is only 2 letters it cant make use of these search indexes. It is much easier to search for the Korean name "Baduk" or the Chinese name "Weiqi"

    How GO compares to Chess:
    Go consists of stones all of equal value. The game, especially on the big standard boards, are basically a whole bunch of mini-fights. Some fights are larger than others, but who wins is essentially a sum of the player's performance in the many fights that will occur. In Chess, a well-executed attack on the king can immediately end the game. There is no game-ending move in GO, but there are still moves and positions in GO fights that could decide the winner of the fight. GO is also a quite territorial game. Position in Chess is important, but I'd arguably more so in GO. A single space off could flip the game.
    I think Chess's popularity can be largely attributed to how attractive it is to early players and how complex and interesting it looks right off the bat. Go takes a lot of patience and experience to appreciate its true complexity.

    • @gameronshinozuke790
      @gameronshinozuke790 5 лет назад +1

      A more basic explanation is (imo)
      Go: Territorial game and more complicated so it needs alot of thinking to perform a capture
      Chess: lots of thinking, strategizing , and mastering the positioning and combos of the pieces
      Go is fun to play with friends and is also challenging
      Chess is more on the competitive side

    • @wernerbeinhart2320
      @wernerbeinhart2320 2 года назад +3

      @@gameronshinozuke790 Go is more complex from a decision making perspective. I watched the documentary about how AI was not being able to play perfect games of Go for many years, but how some UK based company managed to create one, that could beat the best player in the world. If both parties play perfectly in chess the game should always result in a draw, while we still don't really know, what a perfect game of Go should look like because of the near endless possibilities.

    I see some people complain about dead stone, Well, it's owner of video at fault as well for not given a explanation…
    let's say those stones are prisoner in enemy solid- territory and there is no way you could reinforce them to make a base/territory with two eyes.
    You could try but it will end up be taken/surrounded in the end. so, therefore you made a wise choice just to give up on them otherwise you'll lose more points (japenese scoring)
    as for the black dead stones, you can't and add more stones on there because it doesn't have anymore liberties for doing so. You can only add stone if there is one or more liberty available on the board, exception for capturing

      a dead stone is a stone that doesnt add any territory nor does it give an option for advancement. Lastly, it is counted as two points (i think)

  • @pjswisdom
    @pjswisdom 4 года назад +1

    At 3:40, the upper left quadrant of the board is counted as 13 points for white; why? Isn't that area providing liberties for black still at the very edges of the left-side and top of the board?
    I could understand white getting 11 points IF:
    1. the spot on the left-side just above black stone had a white stone on it, and IF . . .
    2. the spot on the top line had a white stone, just to the left of the black stone.

    • @indiesn7827
      @indiesn7827 3 года назад

      Hi PJ, I know it’s been about a year but hopefully I can help you out if you are still curious. The stones in the upper left quadrant for white were moved to make counting easier for end game. We generally love the stones so that the leftover territory is in a rectangular shape. This makes it easier to count (ie. a 4 x3 rectangle will have 12 intersection line).
      If you count the territory for white before the moving of pieces, you will find there are 13 intersection lines as well. Hope this helps, cheers!

    3:02 WHAT is a 'dead stone' - i tried to figure it out but from the 3 removed (2 black and 1 white) and their positions, i couldn't work out what it meant... why are they dead? The black ones looked like white player could have captured them but the white 'dead' stone looked like it was free and clear.... confused...

    • @indiesn7827
      @indiesn7827 3 года назад +1

      Hey paxus! I know it’s been a year and you probably don’t care anymore but I see what you mean. To answer your question, the white “dead” stone was considered dead because of the outcome that usually happens in the game if the moves were played out more. This generally come with experience with playing the game but in short, since black has completely surrounded white, we generally count that as a captured stone. The vid didn’t do a great job at portraying dead stones in an easier manner which will confuse newer players. Hope this helps, Cheers!

    @3:40 I don't understand why the 13 upper left is considered white territory as it is touching black stones.
    I also don't understand why you don't just put stones inside the enemy territory. Even if they are captured, the additional stones that the opponent placed to capture would reduce the number of vacant liberties (eg points) within that territory.

    • @Kihanacloudy
      @Kihanacloudy 2 года назад +5

      As for the point at 3:40, it's important to look at what the board state was before the pieces were moved. The stones are moved in order to simplify scoring, but if you look at the actual ending board state of the example game, then that was in fact a white territory before the stones were shifted for the sake of final scoring.
      Also, remember that each move isn't made in a vacuum. If you just put random stones inside the enemy territory, then what does your opponent do in return? They could use the turn economy you're handing to them to completely overwhelm your strategy, swinging the game much more than the few points you denied them with the stray piece.
      The point of Go, it seems, is not to directly defeat your opponent, but rather to make as much of the board undesirable for them to play on as possible through your strategy. It really feels like a strategist's joy of a game!

    • @mmneander1316
      @mmneander1316 Год назад

      About placing stones in enemy territory: That this is disadvantageous took me a while to understand as well. This aspect of gameplay is a very "emergent" thing, that arises from the rules only very indirectly.
      It is correct that forcing the enemy in this way to place stones in his own territory reduces his score, however in any real-life game it is always the case that the number of stones you place in enemy territory (and that therefore end up captured) is larger than the number of stones your opponent needs to place to capture you. This is what makes placing stones in enemy territory disadvantageous. Run through an example game and test it and you'll see this in action.

      Dead stones: the stones are still on the board but can not make a life or connect to a life part. They should be picked up and put them together with other dead stones into components' place, given Japaneses' rule. Hopefully my poor english can help you.

    • @programsmanager9993
      @programsmanager9993 5 лет назад +2

      A stone (or a group of stones connected along the gridlines) on the board has one of three statuses: Alive, unsettled, or dead.
      "Alive" means that, because of the configuration of the group of stones, the opponent cannot capture it.
      "Unsettled" means that whether it can be captured has not yet been determined.
      "Dead" means that there's no way to prevent the opponent from capturing it.
      At the end of the game, there will be no stones left in the "unsettled / undetermined" category, but there may still be some "dead" stones on the board, surrounded by the enemy and unable to link up with friendlies or make a safe living shape. Such "dead" stones are grouped with stones that were actually captured and removed from the board during the course of the game. Together, the dead and captured stones are subtracted from the player's points of territory.
      Note that the minimum size for a group to be unconditionally alive varies with position on the board and the stage of the game. At the end of the game, the minimum size of a living group is six (in a corner), eight (on a side), or ten (towards the center of the board).
      There is a fourth status, "seki" or "dual life", which is a subset of "alive". It is alive without scoring any territory (under the Japanese rules; I think it does have some points value under the Chinese rules -- I'll have to ask around). A group of stones can be cut off from friendly stones, and have a shape that ordinarily could be captured; but because the enemy stones also are cut off and possess a vulnerable shape, neither side can safely approach the other to make the capture.
