The Key Principles of Life & Death

[@hananokuni2580]

_Hané_ can be translated as "flick", since a 跳ね (hané) is the upward flick at the end of a brush stroke. It also means a splash of water or other liquid.

[@GoMagic]

Such precise details! Thanks! 🤩

[@MunksTT]

Hane Also means “Wing” (羽)

[@hananokuni2580]

@@MunksTT True, except that the word for _wing_ is written 羽根 and it usually refers to bird wings. 羽 by itself means _feather._ For wings of an airplane _tsubasa_ (翼) would be used.

[@edwardlane1255]

I'm going to guess the english translation would be to "flank" the opponent - given that would be an attack on the side

[@GoMagic]

I was looking for a nice English translation to replace hane but couldn't find one... =)

[@novaabacaxi1081]

Having this great contento of Go in english sounds amazing, keep it up!

[@GoMagic]

Thanks!

[@derekrunsagain]

Great video. Watched it all the way through. Have definitely been guilty of attacking too early.

[@GoMagic]

That happens to all of us

[@sonnylam]

Thank you, it helps a lot. 👍🏼

[@GoMagic]

Happy to help!

[@luckbeforeleap]

Presumably you sometimes have to chose Principle 3 before Principle 2 i.e. you have to take the vital point first before trying the reduction from the outside - otherwise the chance to take the vital point will be lost ?

[@GoMagic]

Precisely so! But the exact details of when either of those principles apply could easily fit into a thick book... =)

Lee Chang-Ho aggressive move has magic, I hope you can make video of it.

[@GoMagic]

Which Lee Changho's move?

[@m3008198]

Thank you!

[@GoMagic]

😊

[@trshxgod8040]

Thank you so much for these videos. I need to learn to take it slow and not get ahead of myself

[@GoMagic]

Yes! This is important in just about any skill.

[@nologification]

great video thank you very much. Could you make a video about the shape that allow life or death please ?

[@GoMagic]

Do you mean the shapes that can be killed? Or something else?

[@nologification]

@@GoMagic yes, all the shapes that can be killed. Thanks you

[@tesilab994]

There is standard-ish translation for hane, "bend", which is usually distinguished from the right angle extension called "turn". But then again, I think everyone says just hane.

[@GoMagic]

Yeah, people just say hane. :)

[@DanielJohnson-x5i]

In my peasant vernacular English, I think of hane as "hip check"

[@GoMagic]

Interesting analogy! 😁

[@fultinbras]

plz explain the most obvious moves like white attacking from the left at 10:50

[@GoMagic]

Attacking from the left? You mean White playing on the first line there? It won't really attack Black in any way because that move doesn't make Black's eye space smaller.

[@user-mv4ix7jd8o]

I'm really new at the game, but why (at the timestamp 2:58) can't you just play a black piece at (6, 3)? (Imagine that the bottom left corner is the point (0,0) and the bottom right corner is (19, 0), since I don't know the usual coordinate system in the game). It looks like the white group is stuck this way, right?

[@GoMagic]

If Black plays 6-3, White will respond at 7-4...White will still escape. So covering from above is an easier way of sealing White in.

[@Herv3]

What does the player do if the area has exactly 8 points of territory?

[@GoMagic]

Apply your best judgment =)

[@Superleonxu]

Sorry but I don't understand 8:07. Why is the white dead?

[@GoMagic]

Because after White captures those two black stones - that's one eye, right? And after White captures the single black stone on the right - that's not an eye. So... only one eye.

Envelop.

envelop =)
