Welcome to My Baduk Page: Well, actually this is a Go, Baduk Weiqi page!
Let’s put those in their native languages, shall we?

There, that’s much better! Hahaha!
I’ve been playing go since the early 2000’s. At that time I was living and working in Korea, what a great place to start learning go!
All of the major cities had go clubs where you could go in and play go one on one with other go players. And, it was very inexpensive to spend time there, too!
On top of that you could watch go being played live on BadukTV.
Best of all were all of the live amateur tournaments that were being held all over Korea, too!
I’ll do some looking around my old photographs and see if I can’t share some of these with you soon! Like this one!
The whole idea of this website is to help teach “how to play go for beginners”.
On this site we have FAQ‘s, this is a list of frequently asked questions that will mostly be answered in video form to make it easier to see what is being explained.
We will also have a list of mostly professional teachers who teach online, so if you are interested check them out. The amateur teachers I have listed will be limited to those whom I have played and had a learning experience. If you want to be on the list, offer a free teaching game and we can include you and the game on these pages. Otherwise, you will have to wait until I decide who I’m going to pay to play.
The teaching game page includes all online teaching games that were done live on Twitch then edited and uploaded to my Wallerdog Youtube page.
My goal has been for a long time to reach amateur 1 dan. That goal has eluded me for a long time and it’s time to take up the challenge once again.
When I reach 1d, I have promised myself a very expensive floor go board as a reward. 🙂
I hope you enjoy what I have to offer here and hope to hear from you with any requests you may have.
Cheers!
