How to get strong at Go (baduk, weiqi)

Bookmark | < Prev | Next >

If you play one game, you can't quit anymore... It's almost like smoking :-)

If you like the game of Go you'll want to get stronger. But without a guide you can have hard times trying to grasp concepts, shapes, tesuji...

If you have enough spare time, take it slowly, step by step, while playing lots of games. If your time is limited, go to your local go club and ask the stronger players to review your games. If you don't have stronger players in your club (or no club at all) consider taking some online Go lessons.

The way to improve:

- Play many games (as fast as you can until you reach 10 kyu)
- Don't mind strategy too much in the beggining, concentrate on fighting
- Study fundamentals - especially tsume-go (life and death problems) and tesuji
- Replay your own games - choose the losses rather then the wins
- Replay professional games - after you get stronger then 5 kyu
