Go Interests

I used to watch Go programs on Japanese TV and browse through Second-hand bookshops in Tokyo?.

I'm interested in encouraging people to read Japanese go books. Here's a page to help people who know no Japanese get started: Basic Japanese for Reading Go Books.

I play on KGS under the name nakade.

I have the GoGoD CD. I use both a Macintosh computer and a Windows PC.

Most of my writing was done in Smart Go Board for Mac OS9. I now use Smart Go under Windows.

In November 2003, I bought a digital video recorder (DVR), which incorporates a hard disk drive and a DVD burner. As a result, I have been copying the stack of videotapes on my shelf onto DVD. In the process, I have been rewatching many of the NHK Lectures. I may write short summaries of them when I get around to it.

Now that I have discovered how to enter Japanese easily here at SL (use Firefox instead of Safari), I shall be contributing more information about Japanese go. See EnteringJapaneseText.


SL looks like a wonderful forum. I hope I can make a useful contribution. I'm still fairly inexperienced here, so I welcome any help from experts. Please edit, reformat, fix links, etc. Thank you.

Charles Welcome (again)! The format may take a little getting used to, but I find the technology here very 'friendly', and I suppose I count by now as a power-user. More of a problem is navigating the site to find everything (if that's a good idea). I always point people to GuidedTours, which in a sense is 'heart of the matter'. The good paths here lead to much of the more worked-on material.

For myself, I have tended to post some things in more-or-less note form (such as unusual enclosures); and then work out the consequences over time, and as things come up. This makes it really the opposite of the print journalism approach, where you necessarily polish stuff up before publishing. Right now I have been building up the tenuki joseki (see tenuki joseki pages index). The cumulative feel only really kicked in when there were two dozen examples.
