When you sit down to play a game is your aim to win the game or to become stronger? You probably think you can do both, but these are quite different projects.

The key to attacking is to start by choosing where and what you want to gain. You will find it difficult at first to see a possible gain and how to use attack to get it. The good news is that if you cant see how to use the weak group to get what you want, you can afford to wait. The worst case is that the opponent will eventually spend a move to reinforce the group allowing you to play a profit move, so youre guaranteed something.

To win baduk, you need to be less greedy. Your mind needs to remain undisturbed while attacking, defending, opening, closing, gathering, dissipating, holding and releasing stones.

Go is all about thinking and feeling. Thinking wrong or having bad feelings is ok. You'll learn from it. Not thinking about the game and having no feelings at all about it is not ok. You might just as well not have played.

Il goban deve essere quadrato perché rappresenta la terra e i suoi angoli retti significano rettitudine. Le pietre dei due avversari sono bianche e nere. Questa differenza significa lo Ying e lo Yang; sparsi in piccoli gruppi su tutta la superficie della tavola di gioco simboleggiano i corpi celesti. Una volta espressi questi significati tocca ai giocatori fare le mosse e cio' e' espressione di regalita'. Seguire le regole - entrambi i giocatori sono assoggettati ad esse - e' il rigore del Tao.

Go, as it were, is life in miniature. It is not a mere game.

Go is a board game that best displays equality and freedom — it represents equality because every stone has an equal value by itself, and it expresses freedom because playing styles are unrestricted and free.

Il mio professore di go mi disse che sarei potuto diventare un giocatore mediocre, dignitosamente mediocre, a condizione di giocare almeno due ore al giorno.
