This showed up in my feed right after getting home from Go club. Genuinely a "so that's what I was doing wrong" moment. Great explanation, thank you.

Thanks Michael! Sadly at 2dan I still miss those all the time. Happily I will miss less of them now!

Thanks for this great content Michael, I really enjoy watching your videos! Since the 2nd proverb is "don't cut a tsukekoshi" could the two first sequences be different for White, by trying not to cut ? Especially in the upper left corner

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

It is a pleasure to have viewers who bring up these more advanced ideas, thank you! As you say, playing a hane on the left would have been a shape for White in the upper left corner, while pushing through as shown was probably best for White in this particular case. Similar positions could have been chosen from historical games to demonstrate when or not to push through. However, explaining that would have drifted away from the proverb, and I was avoiding that discussion in an attempt to keep the video relatively simple.

Merci.

[@omfgacceptmyname]

in the top right, would the tsukekoshi still be better than push and cut (at o18) if white only had two stones in the corner instead of three?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

The cut is better if it is a double threat

[@64standardtrickyness]

If black simply plays P6 in response to O7 how is it different to pushing through at O5 and sacrificing?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

White covers at P7 and links up without sacrificing anything
