Game of Go - Links

Sensei's Library

Sensei's Library is an incredibly rich source of information about the Game of Go. It is a collaborative web site (a so-called Wiki Wiki Web site), where anyone can contribute content. This may sound like a chaotic arrangement, but the web site is set up and managed in a way that works remarkably well. There is a Beginner Section that is helpful for those new to Go and a very extensive Reference Section that is potentially helpful to all Go players.
GoBase
GoBase is another excellent Go resource. It has lots of information about various championships around the world. The site includes a Joseki Dictionary and a Fuseki Dictionary.  Also included are repositories of Go articles, Go problems, Go game records, Go stories, Go trivia, Go proverbs and Go book reviews. You can find lists of Go schools, book suppliers, associations, software and services and information about the rules of Go.
Go Problems
You can learn a lot about Go by working your way through the many problems stored on this web site. The problems are classified as elementary, life and death, joseki, fuseki, tesuji, best move and endgame, and you can also specify a preferred degree-of-difficulty. Included here is a time trial that is designed to help you determine your kyu ranking.
Go Teaching Ladder
You can submit your own game records at this site and have them reviewed for you by other players. This is a great way to learn from your Go-playing experience and improve over time.

Go for Go

Wings Across Calm Waters
A Go club with some handy resources.
Definitions of Go terms A handy dictionary of Go terminology.
