I love the production value of your videos. I haven't played Go in years and forgot everything about the game. Listening to you made me remember how good it felt to watch a good match.
This is the first video that I looked, and I will watch a lot more of this channel. I really liked hoy you explain it. Kudos and keep up the good work 💪🏻
funny thing is, according to KataGo black's extension move on the bottom side (O4) is 2 points better than the attack on the white stone (C13). Although, O4 extension also server as a very high pressure move on the lone white stone in the right corner
Haha, that's one of those things where we as educators allow ourselves to disagree with AI sometimes, if it makes for a more logical and humanly conceivable line of play.
This is exciting. Stimulating. Some people inside the box value the idea of thinking outside the box, whereas some of the people outside the box argue that there is no box, and even further some people make the argument that not only is there a box, but that there is a cat in the box, which opens up this whole debate, since there are those that disagree and feel that there is neither a box nor a cat 🐈. The universe is a three dimensional go board of implications and possibilities. Just my two cents. Looking forward to learning from and playing with you! Cheers!
Great video! I have a question: would you say that investing on influence by pushing the opponent towards the corner is less convenient on a 13x13 board, as there is less territory at the center?
I'm confused at 6:08. I thought territory had to be fully surrounded by a single colour's tiles to be counted - as in no gaps in the wall. But here you say that last move transforms the potential energy of the wall into territory. But it's not surrounded yet right? Is my understanding completely wrong? Or are you just meaning black is now in a much better position to convert that space into territory in the future?
Your understanding is correct! No worries. It was a poetic exaggeration, Vadim was just trying to show that while White was running and making zero points, every move of Black counted toward that potential territory at the top. White could still try to invade there though.
Takemiya Masaki actually lost that game! :) and looking at their history seems like Chikun won way more than Takemiya. Does that mean that the taking corners is more effective?
Informative. Now to play a game and completely forget all that I have absorbed. As is tradition.
This video is not meant to teach you new tricks. But more advanced lessons are probably better to be rewatched for max efficiency =)
HA! This is so accurate 😂
I really like Takemiya Masaki's "Universe Style". I've used this to beat many players several levels above me.
Oh yeah!
Please keep making Go videos! There are so few great creators of Go content in English, and your style is fantastic! Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you kindly! More videos and courses are coming.
You are a very good presenter! Thanks for the lesson!
Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to us. 💖

Thank you! That feeling of excitement when playing a good game or even talking about it with friends is also very precious to us.

or...it's just about territory vs influence =)
It would be so helpful if you linked to a video of the fellows you mentioned in your description
We didn't include them because we thought that those games are too advanced for beginner players if seen in their entirety =)
@@GoMagic fair enough. Google is a thing, so we can always look it up ourselves. Thanks!
👍
Great video! I have a question: would you say that investing on influence by pushing the opponent towards the corner is less convenient on a 13x13 board, as there is less territory at the center?
Difficult question! I think yes, the value of corners on 13 should be higher...
@@GoMagic thanks, love your videos! I feel like I am learning a lot:)
Happy to hear that!

@@GoMagic Thanks for the detailed answer!
Hello. Where can I see this full game between Cho Chikun and Takemiya Misaki?
You can input the first few moves here - ps.waltheri.net/
and you'll find it =)
@@GoMagic Thank you very much

I think I figured out my style... White and Black stones play against me!
It's so interesting that you showed us a real expert game. Do you have videos where you go through the entire game? Thank you,
Do you mean a whole video review? If so, you can also check this one: th-cam.com/video/Pte0hfc_KOE/w-d-xo.html
i wanna know how that game developed from where you left
That's not the point of the video =)
@@GoMagic i might have expressed poorly: what i meant was that the storytelling about it got me hooked
i already finished it, not in video though
Thank you! That's the effect we were aiming for =)
the title reminds me of physics class 😅
😁
is 5x5 go solved? :)
I believe it is
Yes. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Go#cite_ref-33
Influential + Intuitive = Influative. Somebody call Webster.
Hehe 🤓
Where is the magic
The magic is in every video!
The magic was in you the whole time.
Maybe the real magic was the influence we made along the way
The magic is inside your brain
Where should we go to watch games? should I just watch random ones on youtube or do you have a curated list somewhere?
Watching any games gives you more experience, but we might make a proper list one day.
