Glugg, glugg, slurp, slurp, swallow, swallow. What brand tea is that?
Checked this morning and still cannot order or pre-order the paper version of your new book. I'll try later today, maybe it'll magically appear.
I don't like the assumption that we never kill in basics. If you can show a valuable concepts or techniques why not to do it? Quite often your opponent will not cooperate to play a peacefull game and you need to know how to attack him and sometimes even kill him if necesarry. Winning the game without killing is perhaps fair when you play a lot weaker opponent but I wouldn't strongly exclude killing scenarios as a rule.
Hey, what about T8 for white at move 224?
I learned some good direction of play stuff in this video, thanks
I can understand getting annoyed. The opponent's plan seemed to be live ridiculously and hope your opponent makes a mistake. This seems to be how a lot of sdk are playing at the moment and it's really frustrating to play against. It's really stressful because they just try and make everything complicated so they can revive something dead, and refuse to resign despite being miles and miles behind. At least for me go is meant to be this nice thing I do to relax, so I don't want a super stressful game, my life is already like that.
The best way to not get stressed is to not worry about losing (and unless you are playing a tournament you really shouldn't). I was worried about my rank, and what I did was to create a "throwaway" account where results don't matter. Now it's kind of my main account 😁
@@pi4795 It's not losing that stresses me out, it's the fact that I have to think about every move I make to check that they haven't reduced a liberty count in one of their dead groups so that they can revive it and then kill a bunch of my groups that are connected through dead groups. It also feels dishonest, because they aren't playing to win, they are playing every possible cutting point in the hope that I have a lapse of concentration. It also just makes me worse at go, because to counter this I just play more and more solid, because worrying about a million cutting points is too stressful, so now I also feel like I'm not improving from games. It really makes me just want to quit.
@@mavsworld1733 unfortunately for us sdk and low Dan players the game is decided in middle game fighting, it's our reading limitations what most often decide the result. If you can't keep track of liberties or see possible weaknesses it just means that you need to improve on that. Just trying to help here, it won't help you to blame other players, what will help is see your shortcomings and work on them 🙂 I'm talking by my personal experience
@@pi4795 Yes, but that's not really what is happening. What stresses me is that the after game AI will give them a 0.5 or something low chance of winning, and it will predict their score to be 100 or more points behind me. Every move they play will only increase this gap. They have lost, but instead of just resigning they will continue playing what are essentially bad moves, dying over and over in my territory (but leaving it at a capture race) until we get into 15s per move time, with the hope that the time pressure will allow them to play some move and I won't have time to count liberties. So they aren't beating me through mid game fighting, they have essentially lost the game. This is very frustrating, because I have to finish the game, so it drags on through my free time which is limited, thus pressure, as well as meaning I have to think hard. Of course I can play solidly, but that is not good for my game, because I am playing inefficient moves. Thus it's making me hate playing, because what should be a 10 minute game will be dragged into an hour long game.
Being 73, I wholeheartedly agree with not running.
humans = mistakes 😂 who doesn't want to go and kill all the things on the board when annoyed 🤣
Hey so glad to see the channel doing well. Thanks for your hard work! I haven’t been visiting too regularly recently, but my Go buddy and I recently reconnected and got a game in, so now my appetite is back. I’ve learned a lot from the basics series over the yrs. Thanks again!
I get the impression you are usually real, but you are more real in this video (maybe it was the f word slide, or is suberi the proper term?). Also, I lose 90% of my games for stuff like running desperate stones out and worrying about 2nd line connections. I follow you avidly but those 30 seconds really gave me an epiphany
cool
woot, got the first like. lol
🦇
I feel I learned a lot from this game, not sure what, or how to put it into words.
This is actually really really nice!
Coming back 5 years later to request more of these soft spoken, game narrations. With elucidation of various moves, made digestible to a noive audience. This video is excellent.
I have been playing GO casually with my son. He is like a Dan. I am like 30 kyu ....lol. I never win....lol
That's what handicap is for.
I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, that the dreams in which I'm Dwyrin are the best I've ever had. In basics we don't kill groups, though they have disgusting shape. Placing achromatic circles, it's a very, very... Mad World.
mad board :-)
Tough game, congrats for seeing it through
I use to like play fox as kuy player now is just annoying because bots. Don't understand why they add bots as I felt there was always enough players.
Even though it's not a basics series video, I love your consistency on following all the proverbs and rules you teach in basics. Recently I learned "never atari on cutting stone" which I find surprisingly useful (it's not so obvious to discover on your own) and enjoy watching each situation in your non basics games where you apply that rule in practice.
@dwyrin, because of you I say,"kaaayyyy" when my opponent does something slightly shocking. Thx
You saying K never bothered me.
Really like the new Rebels wallpaper 🤘
I totally feel like we deserve the win.😉 He was gready and even got more than he should, so we should be allowed to at least win the game 😇
Hello, I'm here for the anime girls.
He got us.
Batts for president 2024
Take corners and plop a stone in the center like a little gremlin. I hate this strategy. Im happy with 1 corner and ill make a giant moyo and eat everything inside.
I am first, I ended my 6 game losing streak with influence. So I guess I am starting a personal influence era
Nice one
Thanks!
In January would you please consider spending a bit more time in the middle of the board? Maybe it is called actually the middle game but I don’t know if that’s the case. And maybe you could see if you could be around six or 5 kyu level? And I’m sorry to hear about your foot or toe and it sounded like surgery is around your corner. Prayers and good wishes.
Which website do you play online? Thanks!
I watched Feng Yun win the Toyota Denso Oza in NYC (2004 iirc). Her play reminded me very much of Legend88's style.
Forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't there a fairly complicated cut that works at O6 for white after he play M8 that probably kills black if white isn't dead in the corner?
I think considering your audience and topic, you should stop looking at youtube statistics. For your own peace of mind. And to be able to create the best content you can.
People will watch your videos, depending on their current interest in go, not depending on youtube recommendations.
Lol DED dead .... Luv that movie
7:45 hah
I'm not sure I get the reasoning... "If black cuts at P7, they will separate your 2 groups. But you have nothing to fear, because group B will live".... Ok ?
The comments in the right corner require little margin on the right. Haven't played on Pandanet for ages. Insteresting fact about it is that (at least in my case) Pandanet seems to be the only server where my rank was exactly the same as EGF rank :) I might revisit it soon and see if this is still teh case.
There are just times when you have to put your foot down and say stop. Stop playing 20kyu moves that you know don't work to try to take the entire board. If enough people stop letting their opponent get away with play like this it will help them grow. Because they will stop playing silly moves.
Very true, also if you play the best move viewers start to copy that instead
Its interesting that black invaded R3 (7:39) and thought it is possible to live there against 3 white stones already ocupying the corner, but wouldn't defend bottom left 3-3 with only 1 stone. But I guess we've all been there.
Yeah, at some point he was probably afraid i was getting too much territory, so began acting irrationally. however, since the outside didnt go well, was likely afraid again to defend his own corner with an entire move since that meant i could keep doing things.
Thanks for the video!
I think in terms of killing, if your opponent attempts to kill you then they should be free game since they understand that there’s l/d
50:46 -- the "3-3 Redemption" just never gets old. If your name goes down in Internet history for anything, it will be that.
Playing “Go” with 4 players might be very instructive, besides the board has four sides. Have you ever tried playing “Go” with 4? :)
Glados 3-3 quote for KZread was good thinking. Yay for inclusivity ❤
When I have time for a stream I will hop on Twitch, but admittedly I never go to watch previous streams. Having a stream uploaded to KZread is definitely gaining more engagement from me.
F3 seems to leave you with 2 weak groups so I would prioritize my one weak group first - what’s your reasoning there?
Cool.
