I like to think that at 20:00, that man's injury was not a minor, physical one as a result of dropping a bread tray on his foot, but a profound, psychological one, incurred by the realization that his favorite shape-the keima-leaves behind a large amount of aji. He has been reduced to a vegetative state for the past three years and shows no signs of improvement.
im a very novice player and iv been trying to improve recently since i have more time on my hands. this video is probably the more useful one iv seen and iv definitely noticed an improvement in my play after watching it. thank you! :-)
I used to be a 30 kyu a few weeks ago. Just the first ten minutes of this video completely changed my play. I don't make really bad shapes anymore. I'm a 21 kyu now.
I remember seeing on HIkaru No Go that players were able to remember full length games and an ability to recreate them without a problem, especially kids. Mr Sibicky, how accurate is that?
That's a thing people can do. I was able to do it for one game I played once. It was only like 110 moves before I resigned, but I liked the fact that I did it and didn't attempt to memorise it beforehand.
For my own serious games, I can do this for a week or two after the game and then I tend to forget them. If there is a pro game that I really take the time to study, I can recall those games very well too. Once you understand the "meaning" behind each move, it is not difficult. Most dan-level or higher players can do it because they understand this meaning!
At the Boulder, CO kids and teens go club, some kids can do this. I would routinely get my butt kicked by a 6 year old little Korean girl (they let adults play too). Which is totally humiliating, and pretty awesome all at the same time. Especially since she tended to sing while she played. One time, she told me she was going to "Crush me like a chicken!" before we played a match. I had an 8 stone handicap, and she still won big. I was about 14kyu at the time.
I have a friend, 15-20k, who can remember our games no problem. Just understand the meaning behind every move if there is any and you'll remember the whole sequence and the whole game
4:44 Black is actually (kinda) 2 moves ahead. Not only does black get to play one more move because you connected, but black also won't need to play that extension in the future.
I've heard said that ponnuki on board is worth 30 points and tortoise shell is worth 60 points, due to their strength and influence they exert - basically, they are very good shapes
Now I really got curious of what happened to the dude screaming at 20:00 and in what way bread could be involved :-o. Maybe Nick meant to say "board"? Dude dropped a big #ss Goban on his foot? I know this is all way of topic from the videos main point, but darn it, Im so curious now :-(. Im guessing the dude didnt get like hurt for life, so asking what really happened shouldnt be wrong, right? So what really happened Nick? X)
I'm a real beginning beginner. I don't understand why to diagonal connected stones are strong. I understand the explanation, but in a game when I have a lot of those diagonal connected stones, sooner or later the opponent uses those to cut. And I'm running always behind, because I have to put that third stone everywhere to defend myself. I even thought diagonal is not called "connected"?
Ok figured it out. Carpenter's square. If you want to know more, Nick did one lecture (#44) on this: th-cam.com/video/fsq_6Q0ArC8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NickSibicky
You are talking about the stones in the center? I believe(someone better than me correct me) that if you atari the white stone then white just runs out to meet up with friendly stones to the north. If atari in the southeast corner then same deal; white just runs out to meet with friendly stones to the west.
This old man who asks tons of questions in every lesson doesn't have a bright go career ahead of him, I swear he is missing the point on every single lecture here I have heard. During a fake problem designed to teach shape the only thing he is thinking is "Shouldn't black go into the corner instead."
Maybe no one in that class does has a bright future in Go but I respect the effort and hey! It's great trying new things and challenge your brain. Surely beats watching TV.
I believe the older someone starts to learn something, the more they have to ask "questions" and try to understand things from "what they already know" instead of simply absorbing the material. The problem is that this is a slow and painful method of learning and disrupts the process for others. Eventually this person will realize that they need to let go of what they think they know and just surrender to what the game has to teach you.

Made me laugh.
This is amazingly funny :D
"Ah! Jesus Christ!" "What, you dropped the bread?" XD
-"Obviously!"

Where you at now?
@@adhdtravels01 This is incredibly late but I'm a 7 kyu now :)
@@vasundarakrishnan4093 Nice! Well done for sticking with it!
There's nothing quite as satisfying as coercing your opponent to make a dumpling...
Then eating it.
Is the bread okay? - Thanks for the lecture Nick! Great stuff like always
No...no, it was not. :-)
I've never heard of a bread injury before. Must be some pretty dense bread!
If you haven't heard of bread injuries, then you obviously don't make bread :p
At 2:57 my first reaction was the proverb that empty triangles are bad. Thanks for the amazing video ill be sure to continue watching.
Oh man. Show us some more of those sexy Seattle go center arms!
So what was that about a bread catastrophe about 20 minutes in?
never heard of the "dropped loaf tesuji"?!
Yes, thank you very much for your lectures. They are very informative. I've been learning a lot with them.
Excellent subject!
Why it's a good shape or bad, seems to be overlooked in every book I've read-
Thank u thank u
Chess simplifies as the game goes on. But Go only gets more complex.
I remember seeing on HIkaru No Go that players were able to remember full length games and an ability to recreate them without a problem, especially kids. Mr Sibicky, how accurate is that?

Nick Sibicky That's pretty cool, are your tutoring sessions in Seattle? Idk when but that's the last I saw

Some call him "The Gangster of Loaves"
fuckin derailed the evenings baked refreshment and GO lecture in one fell swoop! devastating
Nick has the sexiest Go arms, cause they're attached to hands that make dan level moves.
Thank you. Thank you. Your lectures are invaluable. Great.
Was 27 kyu, watched this and instantly became dan... thank u
Lol

thanks nick, another great video. informative .cant wait till the next one. see ya!
Are you going to do a tribute lecture for Go Seigan?
Yes, it will be up sometime this week.
Nick Sibicky YES I LOVE YOU!
i watch
HIKARU NO GO LIVE ACTION
AND I WANT TO LEARN GO !!
IT TEACHES US " HOW TO SEE THINGS REALLY"
Now I really got curious of what happened to the dude screaming at 20:00 and in what way bread could be involved :-o.

So what really happened Nick? X)
He really was carrying a big tray of bread and dropped it on his for. They regularly bake fresh bread at the Seattle Go Center for guests and events.
Thanks for another lecture. I do hope you'll show us some more of your games sometime.
This video was incredibly helpful. Thanks!

But what about lines?... players drive me crazy by just drawing lines around the board one stone after another. How to respond to such simple play?
Think about why it's bad to make lines, then exploit that weakness
Lmao at that bread incident 20:00
he DROPPED THE BREAD!!!!!
Where are these held? How can I get in on a class?? :D
Seattle go center
Did anyone catch the term at 52:57? Nick mentioned that it's called _______ square. What is it? Thanks in advance.
Ok figured it out. Carpenter's square. If you want to know more, Nick did one lecture (#44) on this: th-cam.com/video/fsq_6Q0ArC8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NickSibicky
Carpenter’s
I like the music!
I don't understand at 45:00 cant black just atari and split up white
Im such a noob plz help
You are talking about the stones in the center?
I believe(someone better than me correct me) that if you atari the white stone then white just runs out to meet up with friendly stones to the north.
If atari in the southeast corner then same deal; white just runs out to meet with friendly stones to the west.
Hello from 2021, why there's no more new videos
So sad about the bread.
Zewei is back?!
That book is like a hundred dollars! Any cheaper ones you would recommend?
Order it directly from Kiseido. It is like $20 from them. The amazon one is some independent reseller selling for way too much.
Thanks. Yeah that's much better.
Dumpling = Turd - It's a very old euphemism.
"I am the bread of life." -Jesus Christ 🍞 🍞
Play against Battousai !
WHY is so noisy while Nick is teaching?
20:00 TFW they poke at your L shape
oh no i need subtitle for this video :(
Lotta iron in bread
I cannot believe the background noise from those rude people.
lavi rs it really has tremendously more to do with nicks recording equipment than the audience
This is recorded at the seattle go center, around the corner from where I live. It shares building space I believe so people come in and out a lot.
This old man who asks tons of questions in every lesson doesn't have a bright go career ahead of him, I swear he is missing the point on every single lecture here I have heard.
During a fake problem designed to teach shape the only thing he is thinking is "Shouldn't black go into the corner instead."
Rekt
Where? I'd like to see it lol.
+Vandelesca70 Almost no one has a bright go career in america or other western countries.
Maybe no one in that class does has a bright future in Go but I respect the effort and hey! It's great trying new things and challenge your brain. Surely beats watching TV.
I believe the older someone starts to learn something, the more they have to ask "questions" and try to understand things from "what they already know" instead of simply absorbing the material. The problem is that this is a slow and painful method of learning and disrupts the process for others.

what s so funny?
