The glass bar is something called Zhen Chi. It is used to keep a piece of paper flat on a table to either write or draw on the paper. Or it is used to keep a book flat. Thought it was going to be useless but became really handy haha And that's my brass crab. Thought it was cute and that crab is everywhere on my website ;D
What about the pincer when black has a stone halfway down the other side of the board? If white does a 3-3 invasion, black can block toward that side stone and build a moyo, and this works even if white has the corner as you indicated in the "bad" examples.
Do you mean when white approaches from the right side and black has a stone around the middle of left side of the board? White can counter pincer if white is worried about black's moyo. If white is ballsy enough to take the corner, then black's moyo may mean very little to white. But, it also means white got some points so white is happy and black got a moyo so black is happy.
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by kicking the invasion... But, in the corner, we can always get take the sente instead of defend the corner. We can defend the corner later if the board has nothing more valueable to play than defending the corner.
I learn more from one of Simple Baduk's videos than in ten years of playing.
Wooooo that's such a huge compliment! We are so flattered and thank you so much for your kind words!!!
Absolutely fantastic video. I cannot wait to share it with my Go Club. Thank you for this quality content.

Great video, very helpful! 🤯
Amazing. I think a lot of instructional videos underexplain and I think this hits a great balance.
This is really simple and perfect explanation, thank you!
Thank you so much! Always good to get compliments haha
What is that glass bar on the left in all our videos? And is that a fake spider on the top left?

Is "You only pincer the opponent if you have a stone on the other side as well" a Go proverb? Or have you created a new proverb?😀
It is just something everyone says over here hahaha
What about kicking the invasion? Is that considered keeping the corner at the expense of losing sente?
