Hey, me too! Glad to see there are other trans Go players out there!

I am tygem 3 dan and kgs 3 dan we can play

I was looking to learn the go programming language and now i now how to play chess 2

Read the instructions and played a for a while but couldn't understand KO thank you for clarifying

Really nice video, thanks :)

This feels like the hardest breakup :( Thanks for being a positive influence for me Michaela!

You've been a delightful teacher for a very complex game and a great person who made me feel less alien for being trans just by being yourself. Live a happy life, you deserve it!

Ebony beat Ivory?

I'm not even a Go player. I'm actually learning how to write/roleplay and feel like I've hit a brick wall recently.. Or more accurately, stepped onto a sinking platform of some sort. I literally just typed "getting worse with practice" (thinking it was some sort of medical condition and I can find a way around it), and youtube led me to your video. That concept of Knowledge Saturation and your solution on how to deal with it is 100% still applicable to my current situation. I think I'll try and do that focused thing you recommended. Even if this was for a board game... Thank you, this still helped me somehow😂👌

A Guide for Beginners? What are the rules? At the 4 minute mark and being given problems to solve.. What are the basis rules of the same?

I was genuinely happy you were OK. Your energy is fantastic, may you feel this, and those around you feel this. Y gracias por hablar en nuestro idioma, que Mexico te reciba con brazos abiertos.

where can i download sofware

Thank you so much for all your videos and especially this one. Your optimism and spirit shines through, and I wish you everything you wish yourself. Be Happy.

Hey, I want to stream a series of progressive learning sessions in Go on Twitch, would you be willing to collaborate with me on this? I think your instructions are clear and concise, exactly what I need, but I've never played Go. I'm thinking we can share my screen with the game board, and then you & I show our face on the left of the screen and you can talk me through the gameplay & what to prepare for as a novice in this game. What do you think?

You look happy, and that’s wonderful.

Me after 8 years randomly flying here...😂

I never commented but I watched your video with passion to improve my game and you even conviced me to buy "Lesson in the fundamental of go", I haven't been playing much but I always think of getting better eventually and also thinking about you and your struggle. Thx you for the lessons and I hope your transition was as smooth as possible ! If you ever come back I will be watching (when even that happends). And you you don't come back at least you are happy and that is enough for me.

What you said about “remembering that games are supposed to make us live better lives” is so wise. It brings to mind the Paul Morphy quote that “The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.” (Morphy was one of the chess GOATs so what he considers playing “well” probably lies outside of any of our comprehension). But also like you say in the video, there’s so much to be learned about the outside world from a game like Go and I believe it was a Go master who said that almost everything important in life he’d learned from the game of go. I think you have a really healthy integrated perspective where you are able to say things like how sometimes you need to choose the right move regardless if they align with your emotions, borrowing from your game experience - and yet you clearly lead a colorful life which gaming supplements instead of consumes. Just some thoughts - like everyone else here your videos have been a godsend on my Go learning journey and I wish you a happy life 😊

This channel was incredibly important to you (and us) for a while when you were a younger self. Now, it's time to say goodbye for it for now. If you do come back, it'll be from an entirely different perspective regardless. I'm glad that this channel will stay available. So long, and thank you for all the fish. Have a great life and live it. You are loved.

Great video! Could you tell us which app your're demonstrating the game on? ..... thanks!

The more you study without playing, the more the next game will feel like an exam

nice explanation was very helpful

ur happy, so were happy. easy

I love this format (teaching beginners on real games)

Hi InSentei. It's so nice to discover your channel. I've been learning go from you exclusively and love it.

I came across your channel via Shut Up and Sit Down while I was going through transition, and I to this day have never played a game of Go in my life! Trans lives are so relentlessly evaluated -internally and externally (unfortunately!) and it's lovely to see you unshackled from the past. It's a nice feeling to grow into yourself, hey :) You don't owe anyone, any thing ¡vive tu mejor vida!

"games are supposed to help us live better lives... if we sacrifice our life for the game, we're not learning the lessons we need to learn" - This is something I've needed to learn as well and it almost hurts to hear. After doing more journalling in Obsidian, I realised that there were other parts of my life that needed attention over my 12-ish year obsession with the game and I've hung it up as a result. On the one hand, it's a relief because as a hobby Go is very very demanding in order to keep your skills as sharp as possible and so now there's so much more I can do with my time. But it's also really sad because I've dedicated a non-insiginificant proportion of my on this planet to this game and I didn''t want to give it up, but it's the best play for me right now I feel.

I'm super glad you're doing good! I'm also hoping you eventually will make more educational content on playing Go. Your Go introduction has been the most important foundation in my learning Go. Thank you so much!

LONG TIME NO SEE

thank u so much just for coming back to update us ❤ so happy and relieved to know that u are doing well - go and live your life!!! 🎉🎉

Never seen a video of this channel, but that thumbnail needs a hotdog

Oh my God; I saw SU&SD's video on Go literally last week. Between the long silence and those tweets you made about surgery complications, I had thought you were dead!

Thanks for the video update - I always enjoyed both the content of your videos, in terms of aiding my own personal growth through Go, but also your candor and the way you invited us into your life and journey! It was so lovely to hear all of your good news - I hope your joys, satisfaction, and successes only increase in the days and years to come. If ever you want to come back to this channel, I know I will be ecstatic to see what you have to share, whatever it may be. Take care ❤ and best wishes on all your new adventures!

Go has always been a side passion of mine. Since I was directed to you at the suggestions of a friend, I've found myself at 31, started transitioning, and have been doing my own soul searching. My previous amount of time spent playing Go and video games has been plummeting recently as i have rediscovered an interest in Music and music production~ I hope your life continues to trend upwards, and that you stay safe and enjoy yourself. :)

I love your videos! It taught me how to stop losing so quickly 😂 I haven't started *winning* but that is progress! I burnt out too trying to do commissions for people, it is a real struggle. I for one wouldn't mind a relaxed upload schedule as I think it's more genuine. Quality over quanitity. Nor does it have to be solely Go, so long as it actually feels good ahha. I'm happy life is going well for you! :3

If I had a nickel for every Go enthusiast I know who transitioned, well I'd only have two nickels but it's weird it happened twice ;) Whatever you end up doing, it's always great getting a peek into your life. Thanks for touching base, I hope you keep chasing your happiness!

Thank you so much for all the content! As a trans woman who got into Go in 2020 (right around when I started transitioning) your channel was very meaningful to me in ways that I feel like a KZbin comment is incapable of encapsulating. It makes me so happy to hear you’re living such a full life nowadays, even if it means this channel is over❤
