Nick talked about the opening 3-4 move in response to a black 4-4 opening. I feel like his students should have remembered that. You talked about how if you play the 3-4 facing black that white just lost the game. It was something Kajiwara talked about in his book "The Direction of Play".
Notes for later: - 3:43 : white better play 3-4 than 4-3 - 6:51: black can trap white by allowing 12 spaces, to try to get the opposite corner - 10:30 : responding to an approach move - 18:00 : san-ren-sei
Loving your tutorials! I just wanted to contribute a little on language side, since I'm way too beginner in Go to contribute anything else: 'nirensei' means two binary stars. 二連星 （にれんせい or ni-ren-sei） in Japanese, with : 二 = two 連星 = binary star (two stars orbiting around a common center of mass)
Really great videos Nick! Keep em coming. Is there any preferred order I should watch these lessons as a beginner? Feels weird to start out with reviews and joseki. Felt better to start out here. Thnx again!
Its a little late but if anyone else is starting out new I think the order of things to learn should be something along the lines of: 1.basic rules 2.captures/liberties 3.life/death 4.shapes 5.openings
Nick, you looked so different back then! And the quality has gone up so much!

三連星 translates to three stars in a row

Could you talk a little bit about why you don't like taking diagonally opposite corners to start off the game?

The language statement is a misunderstanding. Ren or 連 in this case means consecutive, or in a row. Which makes sense.
Great lecture. Thanks
Chaos. Madness. Make my blood flow, make my blood flow thru you mayne.

Thanks for sharing.
Takeo Kajiwara is the author of the Direction of Play - not Takagawa
I'm around 5k. Anyone know of videos where he is speaking to higher level players?
Christopher Adams Andrew Jackson (a teacher at the same place as nick) teaches higher level. He has a TH-cam channel with some videos
Ahhh well, you actually did talk about him a little later on.
Thanks
Play like a Go player, dress like a Go player. Did anyone else notice the shirt?
