This episode is from All Things Go, a podcast about the board game Go, also known as Baduk in Korea and Weiqi in China.
Travis speaks with German 6-dan player and teacher Jonas Welticke about his path through Go, study experiences in Japan and China, unconventional openings, competitive achievements, and twelve simultaneous one-color games. The conversation centers on visualization and reading: how players retain positions, manage variations, combine pattern recognition with calculation, and train these skills deliberately.
Jonas also discusses emotional barriers, productive tension, confidence, honesty in self-assessment, and the design of his Reading Dojo workshop.
