I have been looking for such a TH-cam channel, where a dan player plays a game and explains it as he/she goes!!! This is so insightful. Please do it again, perhaps with a regular opening next time!!
Hey Nick! I've been checking out what computers think of my weird opening that I developed a bit before AI even came out. Some strong players said it was interesting, that it looked fun, but it wasn't something they'd ever play, whereas other, less strong, less attractive players said it was stupid and easily countered. Since AI has become commonplace, I've forced an AI program to play it as black, and black won in a game where both sides were the same strong AI, but one side had to play my opening as Black! I wonder if you'd like to check it out It's called the San Andreas Fault. The goal of this opening is similar to the sanrensei, in that you're making part of the board inhospitable, but, unlike the Sanrensei, it's "crooked." In the tygem window, the coordinates would be (playing black) Q4, followed by O17 (if white plays in the bottom right it's aborted, nothing can be done), then either P10 or P11. I've been playing P11 more lately. It's kind of where sanrensei meets the chinese opening. I feel like AI winning when forced to play it in the opening (even though AI says it loses a couple points, not many at all) is a good sign for it being at least semi-playable. Typically, I pincer or knights move approaches from the top and I use the bottom right as an excuse to play taisha variations, many of which benefit from P11
"Kids makes you dummer"? Somehow yes. You recently learned to communicate with a person who has a LOT of potential, but an empty database. Which means you need to vulgarize a lot, taking a step-by-step approach to help him/her to understand things you probably consider trivial. It can result in slowing down a bit in "high-reasoning" activities. (Sorry, English is not my mother tongue).

In the event of hail, the great roof fuseki secures victory.
This was actually spectacular, do it more often
I'm very happy to see your videos! I still remember watching you years ago.
I've been waiting to see someone play this on youtube. Always funny to see how people respond to it.
You forgot to say "don't try this home" :)

Heck yeah I love to see it!

Look up the slanty Ren sei on senseis library. They seem very similar.
Mistakes teach more than successes, so don't feel badly for playing poorly regardless of how it ended.
Is this a re-upload? I'm almost sure I've seen this game before
It is not hail. The go gods are pelting your house with white go stones for your impudence.

Is the opponent (from Korea) a bot?
Also known as the Trump opening
I'm a single digit kyu on kgs (2-3), and yeah I was screaming half of this game, especially 1:06:34.
What’s your actual rating Nick? How can you play such a bad opening and still win by so much😂
In fairness, playing a lot of 5-4 stones against the great wall is probably doing a great job of evening the playing field.
this is his sandbagging account... i'd be also interested in his actual rating on the scale of this game server
