Hey ! I'm rewatching this serie after the good bye video. I just wanted to say I'm going to continue watch your videos. It was this serie, by indirectly and gently poking at my own flaws, that made me able to beat a 6k for the first time. And not a video from a pro player. So thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart.
Yeah, those shape errors will get you many times. At Dan level it happens when both of you fight over a cutting point often. I've been getting into a lot of games lately where cuts that can ruin my position are present. My opponents and I fight over the cut point and inside position, and shape just gets wrecked for someone. For anyone looking for shape lessons, the lecture "shin Jinse-OMG" by Dwyrin is worth looking into. In that game Shin Jinseo, the #1 Go player in this world, plays so good a shape vs another top pro, that he makes that top 10 player look like an amateur.
Love the 5-kyu mistake lectures! :-) Funny thing is, it's really easy to laugh with Nick about how stupid those moves are, yet ... I have just only right now achieved 5 kyu on the KGS! :-))) PS: and these are probably 5k OGS = 2k KGS!
@@antonioiv2165492 ha, perhaps you are right, he's saying it at the start of #365 ... Interesting! So they are quite strong players! Anyway the lesson #1 was KGS 5-kyus :-) th-cam.com/video/6eOZjn0xQdo/w-d-xo.html
Good thinking! But there is a no ko there. White will fill the e4 liberty first, then if black connects at c1 to try and make a ko, white can still play a3,a1,b1,e6 capture. So black still only has 4 liberties, while white also has 4 and white gets to remove one of black's first.

What server are you finding these 5 kyus on?
i think it's ogs
@@antonioiv2165492 that would be 2k KGS, that's pretty strong... We should ask Nick but I think it's more like KGS...

There's technically a ko at the end if Black connects at C1. Not that it helps much.

@@Arcticp75 Ah, you're right, there is no ko. But White has to play a1 first, not a3. Otherwise Black can throw in at a1 to make a four step ko.
Tze Tuo Thank you, you’re right, I missed that order! Nice teamwork :)
Typo in the title?
Whoooooops! ....fixed!
Nick Sibicky it still appears trilology to me...
