In Australia, there are three groups of Go players. The first group comprises the lst or 2nd generation
immigrants from Korea, China or Japan, who learnt at an early age. The second group is a small number of Australian children and teenagers who discover the game through a relative, friend or teacher. The final group comprises Australians who discovered Go as adults, often at university. The author considers the training and retention of the third group as critical to the future of Go in Australia. This paper presents ten commonsense principles for the mentoring of weaker adult Go players by more experienced amateur players. These principles are based on adult educational research and on adult teaching and learning practices.
