What we offer

We will offer about 500 commented games a year, including 5 commented professional games covering major Go events every week, 5 commented top-level amateur games played on KGS every week, and occasional special topics about European and American Go tournaments.

The games are commented in great detail. Many games contain more than 10 (sometimes more than 20) variation diagrams. With all major aspects of Go playing (such as opening theory, joseki, midgame fighting strategies) being covered, this is really a very comprehensive Go tutorial.

Different ways to study:

1.  Download the commented games in SGF format to your local computer to view. An SGF reader that supports variations is needed.
2.  Replay the games online using our applet. Only the main branch of the games can be reviewed (no variation). A web browser with Java support is needed.
3.  Have us deliver the games to your e-mail box every week. This is the option for those who do not constantly have internet access.

For Go players seriously seeking for technical improvements, Alexandre Dinerchtein also offers to comment your own games for an affordable price. >> Read details
