How To Win 9x9?

[@skatmanscott]

When you say "territory vs influence" I have no idea what you mean by influence.

[@JayStrategy]

I made this for you. I hope it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2KcfJmGZrdnf6c

[@skatmanscott]

@@JayStrategy whaaat thanks man! Thats an S tier reply if I've ever seen one

[@JayStrategy]

I am glad you like it.

[@红杏出墙-c7g]

It means potential territory.

[@DougBartonLHS]

I am new to Go. The principles you shared help me think differently about my games. Thank you.

[@JayStrategy]

Happy to help!

[@Magnulus76]

Really good teaching video. I just started getting serious about getting better at Go and have been playing alot of 9x9 games, and I found this very helpful.

[@iamaced479]

Could you do a stream playing 9x9 and show us in real time why you are playing certain moves with the advice you included in this video, I would be interested in watching that

[@pokerchannel6991]

a 9x9 stream or a 13 13 strim woudl be pretty conducive to strimming, since the games are short and quick, almost like a chess game, but better

[@Eduplation]

Thank you so much. Very informative and easy to understand.

[@Eduplation]

I know some basics before but still drop the stone randomly. After watching your video my gameplays are improved so much because I start to win in play OK lmao.

[@ralph12d]

been looking for this video for years

[@Reblwitoutacause]

I’ve been learning by playing against AI on my phone, and have also been playing 3-3 start on 9x9 board for like 5 years 😅😅😅 Guess I gotta start over now🎉

[@LichterLohe]

What kind of tool or "game version of go" do you use? I liked that thge game suggestest move or highlitghs the green, yellow and bad areas- For me as a total begigner that might help me learn. Thanks for your time

[@JayStrategy]

Online-go.com is what i use to play and as a paid member i get ai analysis.

Accidental ASMR

[@Seeka1337]

what program do you use/ play on? i like the AI help for learning

[@Kaiasky]

FWIW, regarding "I think black should resign if they must invade", I think that's mostly only true if you're playing 4,4 or 5,5. One of my favorite things is to start with 3,3 and then immediately invade as soon as the corners have been taken. Kata doesn't like it, but I've had good success with it against people my level.

[@JayStrategy]

Yes, it would only be true if black started with 5,5 really.

[@Saipan2297]

watching this before a competition I have in 3 days (I have not practiced in 2 months)

[@animalliberation8370]

If white can take 2 opposite corners typically black will not be able to pay the komi

[@mInorProphet1]

Would love more 9x9 content

[@aidenhastings6341]

Komi on go quest is 7. I’m new to go, but I’ve been strongly suspecting white to be the much better side because of this

[@JayStrategy]

I agree, but I am 100% sure that in amature play it doesnt really matter. You are rarely gona lose or win a game because white has 0.5 or 1 pt more i komi.

[@nosamnosam123]

My version of Katago, which was the strongest version 6 months ago, prefers Black to open with Takamoku (4,5) instead of Hoskins (4,4), or even Tengen (center) after it reads enough variations.

[@JayStrategy]

Interesting, What komi are you using?

[@stephenw5623]

A great book by someone online is 81 Little Lions. It covers optimal 9x9 opening and tactics that are particular to the small board.

[@JayStrategy]

@@stephenw5623 yes it was a great read, I read it in preparation for this video.

[@JayStrategy]

If people are interested in seeing the full lecture on How to win 9x9 games you can see it here. www.twitch.tv/videos/968791611

[@Magnulus76]

Both Katago and Pachi rate E5 as the best opening move on 9x9

[@benhsu42]

Hello. Thank you for making this. I am playing on the SmartGo Kifu program and trying to graduate to 13x13 and found this very helpful May I ask what program you are playing in?

[@JayStrategy]

This is online-go.com.

[@JW-fd8sh]

What program are you using to play Go and demonstrate the game?

[@JayStrategy]

a Demo board on online-go.com and briefly Katrain

[@AntheInEcht]

komi is 5.5 on japanese rules and yes some ai s prefer 4,5, then tengen, latest katago switches to 4,4 after some minutes

[@AntheInEcht]

and you must use kata-set-rule scoring territorial (in gtp console) to get these results

[@AntheInEcht]

also these links on ogs are interesting: opening explorer (ok, a little old :)) : online-go.com/puzzle/181 and 9x9 thread + pdf : forums.online-go.com/t/81-little-lions-an-introduction-to-the-9x9-board-for-advanced-beginners/3138

[@SonOfTheOne111]

It sounds like most of these rules don’t apply to larger game boards?

[@JayStrategy]

Yeah, these rules are only for 9x9.

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

Yep

[@tearrany]

ok im going go play Bobby knowing what I know now. will update.

[@JayStrategy]

how did it go?

[@lamine1526]

Hey Where can I find the IA that show the probabilities of winning ?

[@JayStrategy]

Katrain - free - easyish to use - plenty of freatures. Only problem is that it will be slow if your computer is not strong. There are paid options if you have a bad computer. ( they to the proccessing) Ai-sensai is probably the best.

[@lamine1526]

@@JayStrategy thank you man

[@philipschalk8944]

What software/app are you using here?

[@JayStrategy]

online-go.com

[@bilguunmongol4542]

Where to buy one

[@JayStrategy]

Buy what?

[@tubsy.]

How do you even get into Go? Is it possible to learn it for free somehow online?

[@JayStrategy]

online-go.com/learn-to-play-go is a good place to start

[@mugenjin8158]
