Great explanation Kaz. For me the "aha" moment was when I realised the reason that we need to fill in the corners is really to connect the stones up so they cannot be attacked with atari. Thanks!

We like the possibilities, shall we?

Amazing

This technique is worthless without showing situation that leads to it. I tried to play it out and I couldn't get to this situation

G13, … F13 G15, F14 F13, White connects by capturing 3 stones F14 F13, E13 G12, ladder doesn’t work and White captures more. Didn’t see the connect and die at all.

This white Kosumi is why the Memes started to appear of Sai From Hikaru no go being inside of AlphaGo 😂

Hi! I found your channel through Reddit and it's been so helpful so far. You explain things very thoroughly while still making it understandable for a beginner. I can't believe the amount of content you've put out in just a few months. Thank you so much for your hard work! 🎉

It's very useful to have this set of problems with their solution ! Thank you

0:00 my first idea is g19 to falsify the eye by pulling out ...F19, H19 J19, H18 dead ...H19, F19 B19, A18 E19, C19 dead. But I missed H18 as a response making the throw-in work by asking to increase the sacrifice. Honestly ...H19 didn't make any sense in the first place^^

Fun fact: The hane and clamp punishment was played by Honinbo Shusaku. I think the Edo period house probably arrived at the conclusion that the hane, clamp or cut if you have the ladder was correct. They got a lot of things right which were later messed up by the shin-fuseki.

Are there any Center problems in the Gokyo set?

the joseki sequence as shown at the end @17:20 almost never shows up in my games if i try the E17 nobi. usually instead of white 12 at C16 white plays G15 or C18. (trying to take a big center moyo or maximising the corner points. maybe you can talk about those moves in a followup video

Really clear and concise. Nice video

Thank you! I really like how you first give "good enough" variations. As a beginner, I don't want to spend my time memorizing lots of variations. I just need easy, simple responses for now. Even though they might not be the best AI moves, I think I can get more from my studies by focusing on other areas right now.

I have experience that lot of beginners also overplay pincer after 3-3 response , I think you also covered this in one beginner game review.

I was looking at D18

I’ve been saving this video until I encountered it in an actual game, and now I finally have a reason to go over this joseki. Also you said the peep should be avoided for beginners, at what level (let’s say OGS) should this be learned.

Thanks for showing these joseki and variations as always :)

The amount of gems dropped in this one go problem video 👏🏽

There is so much to learn from your videos. Thank you so much for creating them!

Nice short form content

Hell yeah

😊

I was following some of your beginner series stuff but life happened and I probably have to put Go/Baduk/Weiqi on the back burner for now. I with you continued success with your channel, I enjoy it and how it's all broken down; you really thought about how to teach it. I can't wait to come back and learn more (once life gets out of the way!)

Am I supposed to solve these just by visualizing? Would you consider this problem for lower dan players?

I literally did this for a year straight. 13:16 I couldn’t play many games for a few years, but at work, I spent almost every toilet break pondering over a go problem or two (from WBaduk) and when I got back into go properly, joined a go club again and played games, (my first games were weird ngl 😂) but my ability to fight was just better. If you do this, you will feel like Goku when he trained at 100x gravity and then arrived on Namek stronger than ever. Lastly. Big reason why I like this channel is it is the first place I’ve seen someone talking through the reasoning of many Go Problems, I really appreciate it because I don’t always know the common shapes or, I might have to name the shapes myself to try and remember. And I really want to get better at Go Problems. Major Appreciation for the channel ❤

I want to thank you for creating these videos. I like how you explain things for those of us who are not expert players! I find your channel very useful for improving my Go play.

You‘re a great teacher! I can‘t help but notice how all you care about is making the viewer learn, instead of the typical TH-camr stuff

Thanks for the video as always. I like the naming convention which makes it easier to find the related videos in a playlist. I wonder if the title should mention the starting corner move 4-4?

Some of these comments remind me of In-Seong - just brutal 😂 but very useful for us single digit Kyus.

Great. Glad I found your channel. I will study the kick joseki series and see if I can do better at Go club this week. ... This video is a good length for me, my attention span and capacity to absorb. (14 kyu).

You're a legend. Thank you for making all these videos

Thanks for these lessons. I've recently got back into playing again. I'm teaching a friend, we are still at the 9x9 game with handicap stage. I'm enjoying getting back into the game. 😁👍

AI can read so accurately and far into the future for lowly me to always follow its ideas. Better for me to get comfortable with something simple first before trying them all the time 😅

Excellent problem and happy to say I found the key move quickly.

Holy, i found your Channel unexpectet and soooo thankfull for this Channel. I'm a at 22 kyu (ogs) and i lose all of my Games 😂 but your Videos give me a new Hope that i can bei bettwr at this wonderful Game. Thanks for that man !❤ Greetings from Germany

Thank you, that was useful: the ideas and advice were within what I am capable of, DDK - SDK.

Thank you

I will be spending some time to memorize this stuff- thank you!

Turn off the numbers please, it's barely watchable. And after you do turn them off, review more tygem games :)

I just started playing on Fox. Anyone plays the kick against me, but they almost always follow it up with the endgame hane instead of the extention, which isn‘t threatening obviously. However, I‘m not sure what’s the very best answer would be and what to think of it and since I face this move in about 5 corners every five out of four games, as if there's some kind of kyu consensus, I‘d kinda like to study 🙏

This rule weird as fuck! They should just solve it with a quick fist fighting round!

Sorry for the double comment and if you've already covered it and I just forgot, but I'm just practising some of these joseki and am wondering if there's anything black could do with a 3-3 stone with the variation starting at 12:35 if W8 was a small knight at C14 instead.

Thanks for these thorough joseki follow-up videos again. I wish I could see more of them in the future! 🙂

Thanks so much for these nicely presented videos. They help show the unsettled nature of White and Black after the joseki and give us amateur beginner and intermediate players confidence in trying to follow-up atter the joseki.

thank you sir! i always started with the center point and my opponents attacked me brutally, til smtn new

Hey Kaz, Just a quick note to say thank you for your awesome Go game tutorials! I started watching your playlists and your videos have been incredibly helpful in improving my skills. Keep up the great work! Thanks!

This is cool! - I don't think I've ever seen any of these before. Question at 14:40 - As you point out, the three stone capture is only worth 6 points- but isn't it more important that white's central group is no longer weak? Stones 21 and 5 don't look like they're doing much work either.

P.S. Wanted to “get you a coffee”, but it would not take a bank transfer or PayPal.

Pleasing! Your hint on Reddit set me thinking on the right lines, but I was too impatient to see the video to work out the details.
