Hey Nick love the videos just wanted to point out that at 39:56 you played two black stones one after the other, that's why the variation looked so bad for white
I enjoy the lectures, but I feel that your students often get you off topic and make you stray from the essential details you're trying to convey. When your students ask you something (ie. "What happens when you play [x,y]?"), I think it will be great if you can encourage them to read it out instead of just giving them an answer immediately. Don't let them become overly dependent on you and instead condition them to read constantly before answering the question. This happens especially in the second half when the same result kept occuring, the student could have read a few moves further to realize it was the same result again but instead relied on you. Other than that, I really enjoy the videos!
I think that's the difference between Nick's DDK class and Andrew's SDK class... it's noticeable that Andrew Jackson makes his students read the sequences before he puts the moves on the board. I suspect this is one of the distinctions between SDKs and DDKs. If the students can read that well, they should be in the other class :)
The long awaited !...
Great info Nick! These are the kinds of moves that really start becoming important in single digit kyu games.
Would be really nice to get this kind of lecture for a couple more common joseki!

Nice... A few variations in here I didn't know as a 2k (but really should!)
I like the math analogies with this. =D
