Can't be overstated. Michael is a treasure and profound gift to the West.

Fantastic video, thank you! I want to see the dog!

Great job explaining these positions. Even I, as a DDK player, can understand it. What was the dog doing? It really made me smile imagining it walking around on a tile floor, looking at its master, walking away and coming back again and again :)

Michael, thanks for setting up this channel, but also for keeping the videos shorter. 15-20 minutes ideal length of time!

Hearing, Your dog is walking around in your office.

What a lesson! So clear and understandable. Explanation is good. Sound is good. I like your channel very much.

Very nice explanation! Thank you!

Michael and Go Seigen are my favorite players!

Excellent, thank you!

Great video! cheers to the dog :D

I would like to hear more about why capturing the second line stone is bad at almost nay board position. When white doesn't have the ladder black can also capture the R16 stone and as white I still want to add a move after black captures. And thanks for the video :)

I notice that this joseki is very similar to the sabaki where one attaches to an opponent’s stone in order to strengthen a weak group.

That kind of information is priceless, specially for those who don't speak japanese, korean or chinese. I hope you could make a series on pincers after the kakari against 4-4, how to better use it and how to respond against it. That would be great.

Hi Mr Michael Redmond , I have a question about the variation at 4:37 if Black play at 12, that would allow white to play at S17 which definitely create 2-eye group, what is the compensate for black after that, black just lost 3 point captured + 3 point territory ?

After watching the video again, I actually have a doubt. It seems to me that in any variation the defender (owner of the hoshi stone) gets the better of it: solid group on one side and extension on the other, or forcing moves to develop the top. So why would I play the attachment in the first place? Why not play the "normal" joseki at Q18?

In the old joseki you don't even have to respond to second attacking stone and just tenuki. So the attacker needs another stone and even then defender will have decent position

You spent one less move. That's what matters

Do you also play chess sometimes? I imagined you saying „with tempo“ correcting it to „sente“.

Tempo is indeed used in Chess, and I believe it to be more widely understood than the Japanese Go term "sente".

This does not smell like a basic Joseki, compared to AI Joseki videos; not by any stretch of imagination. Please expand all the variations, especially weird White moves and how to oppose White trick moves, like Q13 White at the beginning of the White attack.
