Hello everyone, I’m Tang Tianyuan, a professional Go player from China.

Because I’m not very good at English, I used AI to translate the following content.

A few days ago, a friend sent me this post:

I’m a professional Go player from China, and one of the things I’ve always wanted to do is help bring Go to more people around the world.

When I saw the discussion, I noticed that quite a few people were unsure about how to calculate this position. Since there are also relatively few professional Go players interacting with the international Go community, I thought: why not make a video and explain it myself?

So I made a video about this position. But rather than just giving the answer, I use it as an example to explain a more general idea: how to calculate the value of a ko in Go.

The video has English subtitles, so please feel free to watch it even though I speak Chinese in the video. As for the Go content itself, I’m a professional player, so you can trust that part. :)

To be honest, I’m still figuring out the best way to share Go with an international audience. This is also a small experiment for me. There’s a Chinese saying: “Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.” So instead of just thinking about how to do it, I thought I’d actually give it a try.

If there’s anything about Go that you’ve always wanted to ask a professional player, or any Go concepts you’d like to see explained, feel free to ask me in the comments. I’d be very happy to talk with everyone and share what I know.

And one more thing: there’s a homework problem at the end of the video.

Try to solve it yourself. If you get the correct answer, congratulations — you’ve fully understood how this calculation works. :)
