Life In 19x19

The primary goal of this project is to lower the barrier to entry for appreciating, enjoying and learning go by providing free professional game collections and direction to new and experienced players alike.

The collections are in PDF format and come in both single diagram and 50-move diagram layouts. Each includes: a player biography, a game list, game records, and a selection of recommended games -- which provide a place to start for those unfamiliar with the professional.

Five new collections will be released at the beginning of each month.

Should you have any comments or questions, please feel free to post them here or send me a PM.

Thank you! The extra content you've included (e.g. the recommended games list) makes this really useful, and I look forward to familiarizing myself with some of these great players.

I tried to access the 50d files and they all timed out with an error. I assume they are too large. Is anyone else having that problem? The 1d ones seem fine.

EDIT: I got it working with Firefox. My default browser is Opera.

I had that problem with Firefox, but they downloaded fine in Internet Explorer.

Thank you, this is great.

The 50d files downloaded fine in Firefox for me.

Wow thank you! works fine with my kindle.

Thanks so much for your hard work! I really enjoy going through these.

As a note, the 50d version of shi yue links to the sakata page instead of the shi yue games. ^^;
