Chinese Go Videos?

Where can I find go-related videos in chinese? Subtitles of any kind are ok, and it can be anything about Go, i.e. game commentaries, lectures, etc.

Re: To Go? or not to go? WMSG 2012

Keep in mind that the $8000 is some seemingly-arbitrary goal, not the amount that the AGA has raised, or even actually needs to cover the costs. I can't imagine how they can raise that amount of money; without AGA support it seems as if the players will be largely paying for themselves.

Re: To Go? or not to go? WMSG 2012

I'm pretty sure that the money will be intended for the players and that there is just a lot of inconsistency and confusion here - but isn't there always, with the AGA? ;-)

Also, 8000 dollars is not realistic.

Tygem Pro Qualification - Who are the players?!?

We can see the results of this the Online Tygem Tournament http://www.tygembaduk.com/tygem/list.asp

But who are the players? It's pretty frustrating that we don't know who's who .

The list of players is given:

U.S.: Matthew Burrall, Wei Chen, Daniel Chou, Bert Hallonquist, Kevin ...

Re: Visiting Beijing for a few days: any advice?

If you have the space, and can read Chinese, go books are dirt-cheap (i.e. fancy hardcover books are $10 USD max, most books in the 4-8 dollar range).

The Qiyuan is sometimes hard to get into - when I visited, it was closed due to professional training.

The Tiandi Jian, if I'm not mistaken, is ...

Re: Promoting the AGA Professional program

Wait, does becoming a professional necessitate going to some Asian country and then training/competing full time, or can one simply sit back and retain their professional ranking?

I believe this question will significantly affect who attempts to become pro. People in college, i.e. Andy Liu, Michael ...

World Mind Sport Games 2012

Are they planning on holding a second one this summer? I heard that it would be in August, but no word from AGA yet.

I would love to see a second one! These things are really exciting.

Re: Issues

They still are missing a tournament report (promised, too) for the Jujo Jiang tournament. I see that they did post a report for another tournament on the 7-8 weekend though.

Re: Issues

Evidently, ratings have not been updated in over a month. That's unacceptable, with dozens over tournaments played since then.

Additionally, it seems as if several tournament reports are missing (all the ones played on the 7th-8th). What is going on?

I'm sympathic, but get a grip. In the same ...
