Ian Davis / Useful

As you might have guessed from the title, this is going to be a list of pages on Senseis Library that I think are actually useful and would actually recommend that somebody else read. It gets populated mainly on the basis of travelling through the library on random mode, and stopping because I actually like the content.

Learning

If you want to learn how to play, or to teach others how to play, then check out CaptureGoTeachingMethod quickly introducing Go using AtariGo. A more advanced page is HowToLieWithTewari which makes some interesting points about evaluating joseki. If you want to know how to use this wiki, try HowToUseWiki

Endgame

• BOSE created by Tuomo Salo, simplistic ^^ endgame analysis

Joseki

• Hamete you may think that you ought to avoid the subject, but you have to learn it sometime

Opening

There are very few opening pages which are actually up to date

Life and Death

• ShikatsuMyokiTsumegoSeries
• ClassicalGoProblemBooks$ my recommendation is to buy a book and rote learn L&D, but collections like these are good for an extra workout.

Tournament and Pairing Theory

• Tournament Simulation contains links to some papers by Geoff Kaniuk on pairing theory
• TheoryBehindSOS explains why you should not be scared of SOS

ComputerGo

• TesujiSoftwareGoLibrary from Mark Boon, absolutely a must read before you start on Neural Nets or Monte Carlo

General Stuff

• AttritionMethod there is also a table somewhere that gives the effective liberty count - BigEyeLiberties
