Back to Basics - DDK Edition! - 04

"Technically a hane at the head of 2 or 3 stones means 2 or 3 liberties" Where has this knowledge been all my life

[@dorukcansev]

I didn't quite understand that part still

[@paracovo]

@@dorukcansev The hane at the head is a very severe move against a 2-3 liberty group. It gives you a lot of threats to capture that group (ladders, throw-ins, snapbacks, all sorts...), if the opponent doesn't respond with a hane backwards, which means a lot of free forcing moves. (Try to see what would happen if W ignored the hane there) And if he does respond with a backwards hane, the opponent gets a compressed position (like in the game) while you develop an insane outside facing wall.

Just want to comment that as a DDK I really appreciate these videos!

[@dwyrin]

glad you like them!

[@amywyvern3924]

Go Baduk is still over my head, sorry, but I won't give up and maybe one day I will give it a try. I understand the corners and sides first idea, makes sense to me.

[@alejandrofernandez4529]

Thank you so much for your videos Dwyrin!!! I am a big fan. I was going to patreon you the other day, but I couldn´t, and then when I actually could I discovered that the last game review reward was taken! ...Review 60 games a month, that´s quite a work man! Please keep doing DDK games! Help me so much! PS: I patreoned u anyway ; ) You worth be supported!!

[@dwyrin]

Thats amazing of you to say! I really appreciate it!

[@artemis3120]

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain things fully of why you're doing this, doing that, etc. It's super helpful, especially at my DDK level.

[@DangleberriesJohnson]

this video was one of my favorite yet. reducing by living on the edge of sector lines has already helped me a lot.

[@Lonewanderer6666]

Warn other people about sandbagging on fox, himself is technically a sandbagger lol

[@dwyrin]

no! >< sandbagging is artificially keeping your rank low. Since its not going to lose, its technically not that. I think

[@danflanagan9536]

Hi-what exactly is a sandbagger for a particular rank? Is there an Asian server that is more known for this, i.e. WBaduk, Tygem, Foxy...?

[@dwyrin]

Tygem and Foxy are known for the sanbaggers are lower ranks. From what I understand you can thank pros for that. They used to play on ddk accounts to play each other anonymously. Then everyone started to or something? So yeah..

[@financialindependence6623]

I don't think he saw it at 18:20 :-)

[@kj01a]

Double hane at the head of 3 liberties... Why couldn't you tell me that 3 days ago?!!

[@GordonEngels]

too-high reading against the 11k should have left P9 unplayed imho

[@dwyrin]

Well, to be fair I think a lot of 11kyu could have killed that group by randomly atari stones

[@laurenz4934]

Hi, great video. You said about the bottom right corner that there is "other ways to reduce that" except for the 3-3, and i guess one of them is the hane that you played. Is there any other possibilities except for those?

[@dwyrin]

the 2-4 point looked possible and the attach at l17 into hane seemed possible as well

[@katapliksi2484]

try playing against handicap
