Are there any decent channels or videos for Go on YouTube that you've found? I've found a few lectures by Guo Juan, another by Catalin Taranu, as well as some amateur videos. I really likeBat's World Baduk Series, basically a series of Malkovich-type videos with the player talking in stream-of-consciousness as he plays. I'd love to find similar videos if possible.
http://www.youtube.com/user/HW9x9 - HW9x9's channel, where I've found some of those pro lectures.
Anyway, what resources have you found that were useful on YouTube or similar sites?
Go on Youtube?

Re: Go on Youtube?
Oh true I have seen GoCommentary too. I like him a lot as well, very informative - if sometimes a bit difficult to understand.

Countsheep's video's were by far the best thing I'd seen on youtube. Now he has his own channel and he just seems to be getting better and better.
Youtube does have some pretty good stuff, though its fairly sparse or hit and miss when it comes to finding it from my experience. Even for chess I've found that there are far better sources.

Re: Go on Youtube?
You could try searching for 囲碁(igo, Japanese), 바둑 (baduk, Korean), or 围棋(wéiqí, Chinese) on Youtube - there are many results that come up. Perhaps not as useful as the English videos mentioned in this thread if you don't understand the languages, but very interesting and entertaining to see.
I'm amazed at how many YouTube videos related to Go exist now - when I started playing years ago they were rather difficult to find.

Thats for sure! Really makes me wish I spoke one of those languages sometimes. Especially when I run across a video of one of the top pros reviewing a game or something cultural like this that I stumbled upon a few nights ago:

Edit: Added a second video which seems to be another part of the same program.

First part of a 10 part NHK documentary about Shuusaku. It also has some very interesting information about go in today´s Japan.
It is in Japanese.

Re: Go on Youtube?
Today (well, yesterday now) I discovered that LGS has launched a Youtube channel. It appears that they will be giving regular updates on the Taiwanese Go scene.

I just came across a bunch of recent Shygost lectures from KGS on the LGDArchive channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/LGDArchive
