In general having two weak groups is a bad idea, and Nick had four. :) Add in Andrew's Jedi mind-tricks, and it was a fun game to watch. I suggest one of you post again when you figure out where it all went wrong. Thanks.
first half of this game looks like one of my 20kyu games where no group is alive ever. This is pretty exciting, to be honest, to see dan players goofing off like this. Not sure if this one is helping me learn anything, just reinforcing my bad habits, but it's certainly entertaining!
White was able to live in the bottom because Andrew took Black's stone off the board that connected Black's stones at ~1:19:20 to show why White wanted that spot so White got two moves in a row in addition to Black not being connected and having those extra liberties.
Nice game, thanks for recording and uploading. One question: is the dual 3-4 unusual for then deciding to fight super early like that? Would it have been more canonical to open with dual 4-4s if you wanted to chase him around all game, or am I misunderstanding this? Thanks!
+Ian Hoover Yeah...3-4's don't necessarily support the type of game we had very well. But my games with Andrew are usually just crazy even if I try to play patient and reasonable at the start.
Nick, when you played 9 - 十五 (at about 1:05:00) could you not have just played 9 - 十四 to kill the 6 stone white group outright? I am only 15kyu, so I guess I'm missing something important and strategic, but I can't see how white kills any of the 4-6 groups used to surround it :/
There's no better amusement than watching Sibicky and Jackson battle! Love this serie-
Those games with Andrew are always a blast to watch. :)
Again, you two make a great duo! Thank you for the video: I'm looking forward to your next match in a few months :)
59:58 "you can do whatever the hell you feel like if you have liberties"
Is that why they call them "liberties"? (mind blown)

this is a precursor for "Andrew reviews Shusaku"

Thank you for this amazing upload! XD It was so funny to watch!
I love youuuuuuu!
Damn... You got there first
when you'd switched at the end I was expecting andrew to ask if you wanted to resign, as white :) ...great game guys
"Before I resign, I should do one last thing" what else could be done in this gong show?
Brilliant as always, thanks guys!
Next match title: Andrew Jackson thinks he is playing Pong.

These videos are my favorites.

Blue skies and following winds? Did you mean Fair winds and following seas, a common farewell in naval vernacular?
I wish I was as "Kind of Meh" at Go as Andrew Jackson is.

Just found out that Google has created an algorithm that beat the European go Champion 5-0! They're organising a game with Lee Sedol later this year.

it's minimising aji while achieving the same thing
Would the cut at 15,10 work after white hane'd at 16,10?
Why is the new lecture a private video?
Great game guys!
YELLED AT ON THE TH-cam COMMENTS!!!!!
Didn't they forget "The REMATCH"?
+Alexander Yehsakul
Oh whoops! I totally did.
is the middle white group alive at the end of the game?
+narutoqweavatar Nope! What a disaster...
Andrew Jackson Thanks, I thought Black won b/c of the bottom and the top right/right side.
WE HAVE TO YELL AT NICK MORE IN THE COMMENTS !!
