Game Commentaries, Publications, and Websites

On the website Go4Go, Dinerchtein provides commented pro games and other services for a fee of 50 USD per year.

I enjoy these commented pro games enormously. It's about the only place on the net where you can get a glimpse of modern pro thinking, commented modern joseki and fuseki, comments which are moreover of Korean type. As a personal note, Dinerchtein does not fall into a habit I utterly dislike in pro comment, namely passing in global analyses.
