I love this game, but I almost ever lose XD

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"See the example to the right:" - per WP:YOU, reword the phrase, eg "As can be seen in the right picture..."

The same for " See Rules of Go: Repetition for further information."

I think the Passing section can be merged with the Basic rules section.

"The Ing and the New Zealand rulesets don’t have this rule," - What is the Ing ruleset? Maybe link or describe it.

" While it originated in China, today it is commonly associated with Japan and Korea." - why?

"For further information, see Rules of Go." - same

The confusing tag is out of place. I don't really see anything confusing so far. You may want to remove the banner

Phases of the game is a weak section. Introduce more in-line citations as it has percents and other numbers. This is to avoid original research

"said to have had his counselor Shun design it for his unruly son, Danzhu, to favorably influence him.[54]" - confusing, especially after reading "Legends trace the origin of the game to Chinese emperor Yao (2337–2258 BC),"

"and in 1935, the American Go Association was formed. Two years later, in 1937, the German Go Association was founded." source needed

"who scored an impressive 80% in these " - POV, already stated it was of special note

"Modern and low-cost alternatives" needs citations, eg for the prize claim (to avoid original reasearch)

Ditto for last paragraph of "Playing technique and etiquette"

"The strongest computer chess programs defeat the best human players (for example, the Deep Fritz program, running on a laptop, beat reigning world champion Vladimir Kramnik without losing a single game in 2006). " -irrelevant for this article

"The corporation and brand Atari was named after the Go term." - source?

Where there any studies on a potential IQ increase?

The Taoist teaching of Yin and Yang is often associated with Go
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I give you one more day to fix those issues, else I will fail it.--Kürbis (✔) 16:59, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At least there is some activity here. Fix the remaining issues and I will pass. I will give you 1 week. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 10:19, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see grey blobs, a green blob, and a pink blob. I wonder which of these indicate "issues"? Maproom (talk) 22:14, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fail Almost no changes were made in the nearly 3 weeks. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 12:02, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
