Love your Channel. I used to play Go as a child and now I have returned to it many years later as an adult. I used to play very instictavely and now my perception of the game has changed substantially. I started watching your videos to grasp strategy better, but now I see I benefit even from relearning fundamentals in a structured way. It definetely helps me understand what even Simple moves do on the board. I really enjoy watching your videos and wait for more :)

hi guys do you have a Video about the lining of the go board and what Job each lining resembles ( fighting,territory,influence etc) and about the value of the positions on the board. i start to understand that more and more, iam not somebody who plays alot, but i learn alot from Theory instead of actions :D shoutout to this Channel.

Hey. Try taking our course: gomagic.org/courses/deeper-into-the-game-of-go-on-19x19/

I love Go. Im no good at it. But its still fun. What do you do if they just continuously attack you?

Don't worry about not being good at it. The fun is in the learning and playing. Everyone gets better eventually. When faced with continuous attacks, I try to stay calm and focus on building strong shapes.

Why is the 2 space jump at 16:20 acceptable when there's three stones? The escape can still be cut by white it seems to me?

@GoMagic

11 күн бұрын

Because this shape is strong enough to connect even if White cuts directly.

I always feel like chase sequence at 10:30 is very good for black. They build a huge amount of territory and white simply gets to live. How valuable are those 3 white stones? Is it even worth saving the 4th line stone for white?

@GoMagic

Ай бұрын

We've tried to explain that White can easily escape using the right shape. Of course, Black has a better position here, as they have significantly more stones locally.

was that a slight dig at Shape Up! i heard?

Do really good go players need to memorize hundreds of shapes? 😲

@GoMagic

29 күн бұрын

A truly skilled player can effortlessly memorize an entire game they've played; it comes naturally to them. But no worries, no one studies shapes by sitting with a book. Just keep playing (and watching our videos) and you'll memorize everything you need no time.

stop making fun of us man ;(
