Hi, maliximojo: You're thinking of "komi", which is not an actual rule of the game but has become a widely-used convention. Komi points are usually given to White, though; check out part II of the tutorial for a discussion, starting at about 5:00. In some more advanced handicapping formulas, mostly used in tournaments, it's possible for Black to get the komi instead (called "reverse komi"). You don't usually encounter it outside of a tournament, though.
Hey GoshawkHeron, I really appreciate all your videos. Quick Question though: Do you think you could upload a vid of you playing an actual game? That way, you could point out the moves and why they were made; I bet a lot of ppl would learn from that. Thanks
@Robstafarian Apparently the description is just a bit ambiguous though; I was trying to say that White *sets up* connect-and-die by playing at G1, not that Black was in connect-and-die to begin with. Unfortunately RUclips doesn't let you edit your videos, or I'd go back and clean up things like that, but maybe I can add a pop-up comment to clarify. Thanks for the feedback, and happy go-ing!
@GoshawkHeron OK awesome sounds good man. I really appreciate your detailed response, means a heck of a lot to me....I will for sure check out those sites. See you on the Go board!! Peace.
This a long time question I had in mind ever since i started (still a newbie lol) In the Seki situation, who have the rights for the territory? or counting in the end of the game?
@rhcp4565 You're right that that is an excellent way to learn. At the end of part 3b you'll find some recommendations to some learning materials; AudioGoLessons (dot) com does exactly that (in spite of the "audio" in the name, there's also video of the moves on the board.) The explanations are by Go professionals, who do a much better job than I could. The software mentioned there, GoDojo, also does a good job of leading you though the thinking process.
You might be aswell showing some of your games and choices/decisions you chose. I've just tried on the server, i may aswell be trying a new language. I'm very interested in learning, but way more explaination is needed
GO originated in China but the Japanese are the best at it! Reminds me of football, rugby and cricket; the English invented it but everyone else is better =)
I read somewhere that because HoChi Minh played Go and Americans played chess, hHo outstrategized US in Vietnam War. I'm taking baby steps to learn the game, but I see that claim could be true.
the Go lesson language is very important. there are too many terminologies that use only pronounciation translation, but not in actual english. it is better to develop a kind if naming convention to use real english to represent everything in this game. for example "compensation" is much better than "komi".
You have an excellent way to present this information. Go lessons often lack in clear english and/or clear information.
Wonderful explanations! This is a very awesome video that makes me really think that I can get a handle on this whole Go game.
This is very well and understandably summarized. Thanks!
at 5:17 can white just pass instead of capturing and that would be a neutral zone?
finally after 15 years, this video pop up.
🤨

Stephen Parkinson They still are pretty strong in rugby though, they are historically thet best of Europe.

ladder is also called "shicho"

@XerosXIII No one. The 'territory' is neutral.
I know how it feels man I just started playing and theres nobody probably in this entire city that knows lol
