British Go Journal Online Archive

All issue of the British Go Journal are now available online. Please note that the PDF files are sometimes several MB in size and may therefore have slow download times.

Internal and external links inside these files work from issue 157 onwards and external links work in issues from 119 on, but there are no working links in scanned copies, i.e. issues up to 118.

Links to game files are available since 112.

* Note that the four most recent editions of the BGJ at any time are for members only.

In addition to the complete scan or print file of each BGJ, there is a selection of individual articles from very old British Go Journals. The html articles reproduced are the 'go-ish' ones - games, tutorials and problems - whilst news, tournament results, humour and so on are usually omitted.

These 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 multiple copies of these pages or the information on them - in particular for any commercial activity - is prohibited.
