I really like the window in your thinking in these reviews. At 9:00 you are saying you can afford to loose the stone because white has answered them with moves on the first and third line - makes sense, but would never cross my mind when I play.
Making that interactive was a good idea, and thanks for the links to my videos. Note that my collection of problems was meant to be free, and the goal was to promote the game and my channel, so what you did there fits in nicely. If you are thinking of expanding on that collection, just contact me at my public email: go.ninedan@gmail.com
Interestingly and sadly, this game cannot be found on Go4Go. And, also interestingly, the first game on Go4Go is also between Michael and Muramatsu, in 1985, when both were 4p. You guys go back a long while.
As a related subject, allow me to push my Patreon page. At Patreon people support my channel with donations and that allows everything I do here to be free. One of the rewards for 10$/month is the working files (sgf) for my long videos. They usually include some important variations with short comments added.
Very nice game, Michael. But it seems to me that your style in this game is not exactly your usual one (to be precise, more forceful) Am I wrong ? I experienced some cases like this, when I reviewed games on mine and asking myself "Was it really me ?" and that gave me a strange feeling.
@@dhollandpiano Thanks for your appreciation. Unfortunately I don't play so much now. I tried OGS but there are some cheaters who use AI so it's sometimes bugging me.
@@andremouss2536 I have always played on KGS. Years ago (I am 72) there were many offensive comments and behaviors but in the last 2-3 years this has disappeared. I play at 1K and find almost everyone respectful and serious. Depending on the time of day you can play with Asians or Europeans. It is home for me.
@@dhollandpiano Sorry if I was misunderstood. I din't mean anything bad with my comment, I just found interesting the switch in basic strategy that I felt in this game. As my usual style is actually a little on the forceful side, I enjoyed watching the game.
Michael: Kata Go, what is the best move in this position
Kata GO: Play away
Michael: ok, how about now?
Kata GO: look, we have been through this...
Thank you for sharing your thought process about the game.
Great commentary. I feel like I could be a pro when you explain it so well. Of course, so far away.. but love the commentary!
Thank you for putting this on line.

Hi Micheal, I’m new to go and your beginner series really helped! Thanks for bringing informative content!
Very nice review. Thank you!
I've added the final tsumego to my pro problems collection, it's on OGS, /puzzle/43082. The puzzle collection is: /puzzle-collection/5240.

I have had the same experience. I look at a game and wonder how I thought of some of the moves.
