Teach Yourself Go
Path: Study
· Prev: BeginnerStudySection · Next: HowAndWhatToStudy
Ways to teach yourself Go:
- Play Go:
- Don't be afraid of 19x19
- Don't be afraid of strong players or very much stronger players
- Shake up your playing in different ways:
- Play different sized boards
- Play different openings from your usual
- Play different styles (ex. conservative if you usually fight)
- Play different people from your usual opponents
- Play in person instead of on Go servers or vice versa
- Play slower games instead of faster and vice versa
- Play as White against a stronger player
- Play with and against Free Handicaps placed anywhere
- Play even games against a stronger player instead of handicaps or vice versa
- Play unrated games instead of rated for a change
- Play team Go or Rengo
- Play handicap games against weaker and stronger players
- Don't be greedy
- Play as White (not only just as Black against stronger players)
- Play weaker players
Do something with Go every day and you will get stronger.
Though I have not had the pleasure of reading Charles Matthews'
Teach Yourself Go book, I do teach myself Go. In truth, this is not
a solitary pursuit because many people have helped me. Like most
people, I have not taken formal lessons. I have been
the beneficiary of many kind reviewers of my games on KGS and some
free lessons there. Sensei's Library becomes ever more useful as it
deepens and extends. -- Hu of KGS
