I really really like this format and style. Maybe theres a video that already has this but I'd love a basics video that focuses on those "these stone are dead but I let them live" situations. At least showing the simple situations where it's super easy to ensure that those stones do not live while still keeping to basic fundamentals.
Great lecture! One point: I think you realized yourself when the 6d knowledge kicked in: the invasion point of that humongous moyo in game 3. I'm 1d-2d and wouldn't come up with that, at least not with the same confidence. So playing WITH influence probably allows for more basic moves and ideas than playing against it.
Ever since I reached SDK I have time and time again Stressed that influence and good reading is OP! Though I am much stronger now 3D I only play time to time. Love the vids mate!
I have approached influence in a completely different way ever since learning about AlphaGo and especially after witnessing the AlphaGo games versus Sedol and Ke Jie. For me, "influence in the game of Go" is no longer a word that describes a vague, long-term effect that may or may not amount to anything later on. What it really is, is describing huge, vast numbers of calculations of future moves pertaining to a group of stones on the board. It is merely a really large-scale version of local fighting, where reading is important. Well, ALL of Go is nothing but reading. "Influence" is simply taking localised, small-scale reading and enlarging it to include pretty much the entire board, which is something humans can't really do very well compared to A.I. (we couldn't do it well before A.I. either, but human-versus-human made it okay). That being said, I am not advocating immediately dropping a stone next to a large wall every chance you get and hoping your human opponent will make a mistake and NOT effectively attack it for infinite points and/or kill it outright.
I did a count of points for both sides in the first game (at the point just before you cut to the next game). That is a REALLY close game I am seeing. Black has about 50 points, while White also has about 50 points plus Komi. So White is only winning by Komi at this point. Black can ignore White E-8 completely.

I am so guilty of responding too aggressive or passively to their early sector line reductions. I really needed this. Thanks so much.

Dwyrin on any other day: influence and play basics...
Dwyrin on Murder monday: Kill everything!
Great video! A potential idea: Maybe it would be good to restate the major points you made throughout the video at the end, summarizing your lecture.
This video is underrated for me.
Baduk Shorties! Lol, I would probably buy some shorts with that slogan on them.
Great lecture!

As a DDK, seeing that third game invasion point and being told "That lives." with such confidence changed my world view. Well, my invasion world view.
Very helpful principles, thank you.

Thanks a lot for that video, wanted something to clear my mind about the usage and countering of influence
Awesome video, as always! Thanks dwyrin, really nice and helpful tips!
Awesome shortie! I'm really looking forward to more in the future. I can't thank you enough for all the great content you put out!
Very nice, thanks!
As someone who responds to every reduction I hope I can put this into practice.
Thanks. Very efficient instruction.

Hi Dwyrin! Huge fan from Ireland... just curious, what is the name of the program you use in this video? Thanks for the awesome content!
