This time we introduce some lovely fighting to the basics series. Starting with the wonderful world of Reactive fighting... it's scary to go alone. Bring a friend. / godwyrin
At 16:30. Nice distinction between proactive and reactive fighting styles. "If you're a proactive fighter you have to make a lot of decisions. This is worth fighting for. This is not worth fighting for. I want to harass this. I want to harass that. I'm going to go after this weak point. I'm going to go after that weak point." At 16:51. "If you're a reactive fighter you just kind of keep taking the large points. And then you wait. But, you show me where the weak points are. You show me where you're weak. I'm not going to try to make you weak. You show me where you're weak. And when you show me where you're weak, then I'm going to be vicious. And I'm going to cut you. I'm going to get shape. And I'm just going to wait until something dies." 17:17.
Great idea to do basic fighting. It really fills a spot that feels a little bit missing in your other more passive videos. A lot of times I follow your basics and my opponent forces me to capture. Knowing shape points in capturing groups, and what to fight over is really nice.
Fighting is not my strong suit, so I am really excited to see that you are starting to address it in your awesome Basics series. I especially like that you are not going immediately into proactive. I need that transitional approach. Good job!
As i said, I am playing the same way against every rank from 15kyu to 3dan. The 'strategy' seems pretty solid... Give it a try, I think you'll be surprised.

"I'll honor his sacrifice."
Best line I've ever heard in a Go video 😂😂

I have a tournament coming up this weekend, so I'm glad you posted this.
Oh! Good luck!
I am seeing you having fun in teaching. That's great :)
Once again proving that in Go, you need only be able to count to two. Great video!
what does that mean (count to two)?
Counting your opponent's weak groups. With two or more weak groups on the board it is easy to attack for profit.
Dimitrios Satkas recognizing that the opponent has two weak groups and keeping it so
Hey this one is especially helpful! Bookmarked :)
Great video dwyrin! Hope you keep the back to basics episodes coming! :D
Love the buster swords in the thumbnail
Wonderful
You can disable the countdown in the OGS settings online-go.com/user/settings#Voice Countdown.
Fighting! At last!
Yeah I have so many things I want record and upload its hard to choose which to do and when >
nice vid bro
nice video, but what was the point of M4 ?
I believe M4 allows white to play M1 and live in sente. I could be wrong, but I believe that's the idea.
Not much point since I didn't use it in the game. Just created a cutting stone i could maybe use later.
it was my first thought too, but i thought afterward that the move might be a bit too slow for now
seriously, 9k? how low can you go?
In the basics series I play everyone from ddks to dans to show that the principles work everywhere, why and how.
you could win a ddk while passing every 20th move. doesn't mean it's a good strategy
