Game Review Service |
Provides members with the chance to get their games commented on by a stronger player. Games should be sent to the Analyst who will either review them himself or pass them to other members for review. If your game is very interesting, your permission may be sought to publish it in the British Go Journal or put it online. Electronic game records (SGF format) are preferred, but paper game diagrams are OK too. To get best value from your game review, do annotate the record with any questions and with your thoughts at key moments of the game. Email the Game Review Service at: analyst@britgo.org |
