"Give me liberties, or give me death"
Ask stronger players to help review your games, study pro games or tsumego. We also organise lectures with strong teachers. The global idea is you get taught by the stronger while you teach the weaker.
Playing long serious games is very important to improve. Our league system encourages you to do so in a friendly yet competitive environment. On top of that we reward our winners with cool prizes every month.
We are a friendly active online community of Go players from all around the world. OSR is run by volunteers, community driven and all free for everyone to come enjoy the beautiful game of Go.
See what opponents are online on those platform to find a game. Play your league games, write #OSR during the chat and that's it. Our website will collect it automatically.
Ask questions to master Guo Juan (5p) in our forum. She kindly answers every months! Vote for next lecture topic. We set it up with our teachers, record it and upload to our youtube channel.
Win a teaching game with a professional player, a game review by a strong dan or 10€ gift certificate at Guo Juan's internet go school. All that just by playing go!
Plan your game in advance with your opponent using our game planner. It's easy to use and it adapts to timezones automatically.
May just ended and, therefore, it is time for a new "end of month" special. It's been a fairly quiet month. To bring some more energy to the community, the OSR team is proud to welcome a new addition to it's roster: the all-mighty BoneSaw. We hope that with his help we'll be able to tackle on more projects in the upcoming months.
As some of you have already noticed there has been a huge delay in this months update due to a very limited availabilty of our admin team. A number of team members are currently away from home for extended amounts of time and others are busy with offline projects and work. We are always looking for additional staff members - so if you are enjoying the Open Study Room and would like to help please get in touch.
However - for now, since I am free to do some writing while traveling in a train across Europe, finally the results of our monthly leagues:
With the end of March we have also reached the end of our month-long event series to celebrate welcoming the 1000th member to the Open Study Room. We hope you enjoyed some of the events we tried to put together for you and are now ready to return to our regular schedule. Which of course includes our monthly leagues and the due results.
