These pages reproduce a selection of the articles from 'ancient'* British Go Journals. The articles reproduced are the 'go-ish' ones - games, tutorials and problems - whilst news, tournament results, humour and so on are usually omitted.
You can purchase complete printed backnumbers of British Go Journals.
* Over 10 years old. Games from journals since Autumn 1999 are also available in sgf format (only).
The BGJ E-archives are presented here as a service to the worldwide go community. Feel free to read, study and print a copy of the pages for your own use. Making many copies of these pages or the information on them - in particular for any commercial activity - is prohibited.
The pages are being created by volunteers in a sporadic fashion and it may take several years before a reasonably complete archive is achieved. Each journal listed below also shows the month that the web pages for that issue were last updated.
There is also a list of available BGJs sorted in order of web updates.
A glossary of Go
terms used in the articles is available. When you click on them, usually
a separate window will open with the definition in it. The new window
may be hidden underneath your main browser window.
Try boshi as an example.
