GO-SPIELEN ALS STUDIENFACH
Das Brett ruft
Von Bernd Klopfer
Louis Hacker hat eine Mission: Er will das uralte Brettspiel Go außerhalb Asiens populär machen, Nachwuchs ausbilden, damit Geld verdienen. Darum geht er für vier Jahre nach Südkorea - nur an einer einzigen Uni weltweit kann man Go studieren.
Für seinen Lebenstraum hat Louis Hacker, 25, alles getan. 10.000 US-Dollar aufgetrieben, viele Dokumente beglaubigt übersetzen lassen, Koreanisch gelernt und nebenbei noch das alte Leben in Deutschland aufgegeben.

Westliche Pro-Spieler gibt es in der Go Szene bekanntlich nicht allzu viele. Allerdings ist jetzt mit Diana Koszegi eine neue Europäerin in die Riege der Profis aufgestiegen (und zwar gleich zum 2 Dan Pro). Die gebürtige Ungarin studiert nun schon seit mehreren Jahren am Baduk Department der Myongji University und hat es auch schon (wie zu erwarten ist) mit Profis aufgenommen. Auf KGS ist Sie unter dem Nick Zsi anzutreffen, mehr Infos gibt's auf ihrer Homepage.Bild: Von oben nach unten, Alexandre Dinerchtein, Svetlana Shikshina & Diana Koszegi

Daran wird erstmals auch Go vertreten sein. Unter den Anwesenden Instruktoren sind u.A. Lorenz Trippel, Thomas Frech, Daniel Lutz und meine Wenigkeit. Neben Go werden auch diverse andere Spiele (keine Videogames) vorgestellt. Die Halle bietet WLAN, und wir werden ebenfalls mit diversen Go-Movies aufwarten. Ich bin gespannt was für Leute (vor allem altersmässig) den Stand besuchen werden.

There are many sites on the Internet dedicated to Go. The majority are non-profitmaking. They were created by people who enjoy playing Go strictly as amateurs. As a result, they don't invest much money or effort in making their sites popular among search engines, so it's hard to find their sites using Google, Yahoo! or other common tools.
Of course, it's not easy for them to compete with online gaming stores and gambling sites, which spend thousands of US dollars monthly on advertising and optimizing their sites for search engines.
The verb "to go" makes the situation even more difficult. If we search for "go magazines" or "go news" on Google, we may find only a few Go-related resources on the first few pages. It's terrible!
The situation with Asian Go masters who have short and common names is also confusing. It's almost impossible to find their games, biographies and photos on the main search engines.
We have decided to solve this problem! We have made a special search engine, based on Google Custom Search, which searches information only on Go-related sites.
Right now there are more than 500 sites in our database and we are trying to increase this number daily. We allow people to suggest new sites to crawl. Each site passes moderation, so you can be sure that each side is relevant to the subject of your search. We exclude non-Go related sites, doorways, sites with hidden text and dishonest competitors.
