EuroGoTV first provided mainly videos from lectures and tournaments. In November 2009 the news section revived with almost daily contributions, mainly by editor-in-chief Peter Dijkema. Most articles are about recent tournaments in Europe, but there are also book (p)reviews and bits of history and biographies. All articles are illustrated, usually with photos of winners and links to tables or biographies in sensei-net.

Go-sensations http://www.gosensations.com/ , like above "Goama", by Alex Dinerchtein. It presents mostly recently played top-games from major servers like IGS, KGS, Dragon, Oro and Tygem with his comments or of his other experts.
