How to Improve at Go

by Sorin Gherman

Most Go players want to get stronger, to evolve in the understanding of this wonderful game.

Here are my ideas about how to improve at Go:

Study material

Michael Redmond, the only westerner to reach professional 9 dan in Japan, has a Youtube channel with game commentaries and lessons.

Hajin Lee 4p also has Youtube channel with many game commentaries.

American Go Association has a lot of game commentary videos - I highly recommend the ones by Myungwan Kim and Michael Redmond.

I wrote a while ago some Go lessons which I hope readers will find useful.

Also, I reviewed various study resources I came across, to help one choose between different options:

For Japanese language speakers: Nihon Ki-in, the Japanese National Go Association, has an official Youtube channel with live games and commentaries, and there is also a Go and Shogi Youtube channel from the sponsors of the Meijin title match, also with live commentaries.
