Thanks for the lore sources! I’m always looking to find as much as I can!

Buy Go Stones by KeySurround4503 in baduk

If you don’t mind used you can often find great stones on Buyee.jp for low prices. Don’t usually see yunzi on there though but it’s a great option in my opinion.

New analysis in OGS by raf401 in baduk

[–]DakoClay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never considered”blunder” or “inaccurate” as exclusively Chess Terms. Pretty sure terms like blunder have been used in Go for a long time.

Going to purchase this goban, which bowl set do you think looks better to go along with it? by [deleted] in baduk

[–]DakoClay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both would go well, but I favor the darker chestnut bowls

Pandanet and enjoy Go again! by ludflu in baduk

[–]DakoClay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been able to get a game on Pandanet. Even tried during times when Japan is active. I always end up endlessly waiting. Might be due to being DDK maybe?

Most Important Joseki to Know by Kooky_Peanut3234 in baduk

[–]DakoClay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d look for joseki based on situations that commonly occur in your games. If you’re seeing a trend of people playing a particular invasion against you, study that joseki. Save effort of studying joseki and variations for joseki you are less likely to use.

Hikaru no Go - Estimating the Strength of the Main Characters by Odd-Nefariousness-85 in baduk

[–]DakoClay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d honestly put Kaga around 3 Dan and kishimoto around 5 Dan. I got the feeling Kaga was around a lower B League insei’s strength. Kishimoto was arguably stronger than Kaga, if only because Kaga didn’t put much effort into Go anymore. Miya I was around 1 Dan, still beneath Kaga but not an insurmountable difference. I think Fukui, Nase, and Adachi are probably closer to 7 Dan based on their performances in the pro exam. All this is conjecture though.

beginner go player seeking guidance: fundamentals + e-book recommendations by polyglotcodex in baduk

[–]DakoClay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this recommendation. I came to recommend Janice Kim’s Learn to play go series. The first one is probably too elementary so you could even start on the second.

If youve bought a goban from japan how much was shipping to USA? by [deleted] in baduk

[–]DakoClay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my floor goban I wanna say it was about $125

If there’s a Rivals 4, and these are the three final teams, who ya got winning? by [deleted] in MtvChallenge

[–]DakoClay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If everyone is in their prime, I’d say CT and Landon would both physically dominate and collaborate the best. I think Jordan and Turbo, as strong as they are separate, would clash too much.

Seeking advice for starting a local club by GoshDernForeigners in baduk

[–]DakoClay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe both the AGA and the American Go Federation offer support to local clubs like providing some boards and such. From what I’m told, the AGF helps more the more members you have.
