Database Search
   

Go databases of games seem to become useful at the level of 10000 high-level (pro) games. Fortunately there are now a number of such tools, and players everywhere can begin to derive the benefit.

There is something of a knack of posing good questions to a database equipped with a good search engine, such as Kombilo. One needs in general to choose sub-boards of appropriate size with some given stones. For example, for a joseki, you need to define a corner that is large enough, so that nearby stones already played don't have an impact. To find standard life and death positions, one often needs to use wild-card stones intelligently.
