As
a student at the Korean Go Academy, I was able to see the very latest
game records of all the important and interesting matches each day. This
gave me the sense that Go is, among other things, an art form which has
a dialectic with history. By reviewing current game records, even if we
are not key players on the Go world stage, we can at least have front
row seats from where we can observe the action, and gain insight for when
we are called upon to act ourselves.
Over the next few weeks we'll be adding clusters of new game records to get you started, and we hope soon to provide you with the most recently played professional games (in some cases, because of the time difference, we hope to provide you with game records before the games are actually played...). These games are the ones that I myself review and are focused on Korean internal matches and international professional games. GameBase currently uses a Java applet called JiGo by David Jarvis to show the game records. JiGo is currently being updated and we decided to go ahead with game postings although there are a couple of difficulties: Netscape users on a Macintosh platform are currently receiving error messages and are not able to run the applet. The "back" button on the game record itself does not go back one move, but goes back to the beginning of the game (sorry about that, we are working on it!) In addition to addressing these issues and posting more games, we're developing the Samarkand Professional Go Course, an interactive study course utilizing the collected games of Go Sei Gen and life and death problems from the Kanzufu. Thanks for your patience! Sincerely, |
