Life In 19x19

It's the dub, which is unfortunate, because I really don't like the dub.

Oh, I see.

Thanks for the comments!

How do I play after the double hane on S14? I really wanted to play it, but I was worried about being cut at R14, and I didn't see any valuable options after that.

I've read this whole thread and I have no idea what's actually being discussed.

It's not possible to play any game without a strategy because your strategy is your goal in the game. Even if you just make random moves, that's a "spray and pray" strategy.

I wish there was an option to attend the lectures but not play in the tournaments. I'm thinking of going, but I'm much more interested in the lectures than playing.

Thanks for the pointers. Why is it bad to nobi on move 46?

I played white in this game. I feel like I had many opportunities to invade, but I couldn't find them or didn't feel comfortable with them.

Saw takodori post these on Twitter. Totally awesome, though it would make more sense for sente's stones to become black... maybe use othello pieces for the go side?

But chess and shogi are both 9x9 intersections (8x8 squares)

Shogi is 9x9 squares, not 8x8.

There was an article some time ago about how shogi professionals actually use their brain in different (and more efficient) ways than playing. I would assume this is true also of go pros. I don't really know if this is actually an increase of memory, though.

In fact, there are completely different games called xiangqi and shogi in china and Japan, respectively. Shogi, xiangqi, and shatranj are all descendants of the same Indian parcheesi variant.
Chaturanga isn't a parcheesi variant. You may be thinking of chaturaji , which, despite the name given in ...

I'm totally horrible at this game (I'm a lot better at shogi), although after reading a chapter of the book "How Not to Play Go," I decided to try my hand at this game again. It went unexpectedly well, although I know I should have done much worse because of the mistakes I made.

We're thinking the same thing with different ways of remembering it. Yes, the first number goes left, and second number goes right. But I believe the way shogi's coordinates are set up is to make it natural for readers of vertical Japanese script.
