- Kyus can do a lot of strange things that leave us scratching our heads as to how to answer. This lectures aims at focusing on the skills required to see your way through some of these rather strange moves.

Hey dwyrin (or anyone), I'm a very new player, only about 20-19 kyu on OGS. I review my games and I just ordered a go book off ebay, and I want to get better.
I was wondering two things :
1) Should I play people who kick my ass and are much higher rank than me or should I play people on my rank
2) Should I even bother playing on 9 by 9 or should I stick to 19 by 19 as that is the main meat of GO and what most people play on anyway
thanks for the help guys!
1) You should play a bit of both. What you should have in mind is that a strong player may not take a weak one very seriously, so he might make bad moves expecting you to mess everything up and you probably won't be able to tell the good moves apart from the bad ones. If he's willing to comment the game afterwards then it's ok, desirable even, otherwise stick to people closer to your rank.
2) I don't enjoy 9x9 much myself, didn't use it a lot while learning, but it might be useful in case you are focusing on improving your reading and fighting skills. Since the board is small and every move is important you will have to read further than you would on a big board where you can just take a local loss and recoup somewhere else on the board.
I would stick with 19x19 and yes playing stronger opponents should be quite helpful, especially if said opponents review the game afterwards. I would also play on KGS if possible because you can generally get a review of a game in The KGS Teaching Ladder.
Overall a new player needs to just play play play.
Instant + just for the costume already. And I am sure Ill enjoy the lecture too.
Great video and thank u I learn so much from these videos
You refer to one of the differences between dan and kyu players and knowing joseki. How do you recommend people go about studying joseki? Is it just sitting down with a book of joseki and looking through the book, life and death problems? I ask because I have been told that I am in the SDK range but feel like joseki is probably my weakest area of play. I know very few joseki but because I play with high dan players often I have gotten better at opening in the game which has helped improve my game.
Thanks u so much. This is awesome.
17:55 - I am 5k and I can explain g16 - it is obviously a missclick, just the player didn't bother to ask for undo, because at this level this kind of mistake doesn't really matter :)
Oh man, I was yelling at my screen at the black 2 kyu: "What are you doing here?" when he didnt hit the shape point at the right corner. Its like being infront of the goal at football and not shooting but doing some stupid dribblings and in the end you lose the ball without even having shot at all..
assuming you're stronger than 2k: why the aggressive attitude?
assuming you're weaker than 2k: why are you not stronger than 2k?
cool video!
The reason kyu players regard good shape slow is they (we) don't know how to punish overplay. Thus loosing.
Which is why the better you understand shape, the more you understand why your opponent should have taken the time to make it!
