Level Up: Advice for 7 kyu to 5 kyu Go Players

Surround. Got it.

Really helpful! Clear tips to follow instead of specific sequences that might never occur again. And the repeating (even though I can see it getting a bit annoying and counterproductive if you often give the same advice in different videos) helps getting it in your long term memory. I also really like your energy! Thanks :)

Glad it was helpful!

Really great video! I lost a game yesterday due to missing a tactic (sadly I don’t see connect and die on Tsumego dragon) and your advice in the first few minutes is something I’ve never done but it makes so much sense to do. The rest of the video was great and really informative I think. I’m gonna keep an extra eye out for those weak groups - a 6k who wants to improve :)

Glad you found it helpful!

Ladders - super simple you say. The thing is it's not super simple. It's hidden behind the shape that a lot of kyu players (inculing myself) can't recognize as a ladder. If it was simple, we wouldn't miss that. :)

@@jarosawjusiak6716 mastering simple gets you to 5D haha so you’re probably right

@@ShawnRay By the way I just registered at recommended tsumego dragon service and the first impresion is very positive! I must definitely practice not so obvious ladders :)

@@jarosawjusiak6716 woooo! I hope it helps you improve greatly!

Great tips, but the talking is so fast that I can barely handle it. Same as the examples. They’re only on the screen for such a short moment that it’s useless as an example. Slowing down would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. 😊

@@seanwoods4940 sorry about that! You can slow down KZbin videos to 0.75 speed if it can help you understand me better.
