the role of felix dueball (1880-1970) in popularizing the game of go outside east asia can hardly be overestimated. as a player and teacher in berlin from 1919, the strongest european player for decades, and highly respected in japan, he was a key figure in the history of go. 1/2

“Go made me feel further apart from my friends”

Played my son in a game of #Go, and we quite accidentally made a Space Invader. #gameOfGo

sung-hwa hong’s “Erster Kyu” (“First Kyu”) is a coming-of-age story set in the world of the game of go. it also employs a questionable narrator in order to deal with some uncomfortable aspects of korean culture.

i wrote a short essay (in german) on the topic for DGoZ 3/3024. here’s a link to the pdf, page 43.

Yeong-uk war aufgewühlt. Den in einem kleinen Ruderboot sitzenden Intetsu sah er geradezu vor Augen. Er erfuhr zum ersten Mal davon, dass das Go-Spiel einen das Leben kosten konnte.

Words can hardly describe how happy I am right now - and so extremely grateful. Took 3 Months to ship it from Japan to Germany. This is an original „Goban“ from Japan. Since I was 14 I always wanted one - now I finally got it! Can’t wait to play on it :) #GameOfGo #Goban

Here is the #shogi board I made 3 years ago. It is on the reverse side of the #gameOfGo board I created over 20 years ago :)

go/weiqi/baduk players into korean drama might want to take note of this one ️️

@noisegul Those gaps are what keeps Go so interesting for me: It feels like there is an infinite ocean of concepts that need to be mastered. Whenever I learn a new thing, it turns out that there are layers and layers of other things that ask for attention beneath it. I started learning about direction of play, ended up studying Chinese fuseki, realized that I have a hard time turning moyo into territory, ... #gameofgo #baduk

So here comes another piece of #introduction, this time not work related (after all it's weekend): I love playing Go (would I tag that as #gameofgo or #baduk?). Still dreaming about reaching Shodan one day but currently stuck in high single-digit Kyu ranks. If you like to play, you can find me on OGS: https://online-go.com/player/361238/.
