This guy is an awesome commentator. I don't even know what's happening, but it's clear this guy does.

[@VulcanOnWheels]

Doesn't he introduce himself at the start of the video? Anyway, he is Michael Redmond, a 9 dan professional Go player.

[@1gnore_me.]

I love how constantly throughout the match he says "they could do this, this or this ... but instead they did this" just goes to show how creative and freeform go can be, and also how great the players are. constantly subverting expectations

[@iamLI3]

wow to stand there and do this so prim properly for an hour and a half straight , outstanding discipline.....

[@MrShikasta]

That was nuts! Michael doing a fantastic job with the commentary as always.

[@madisonlynn2713]

3 years later and I’m still learning from one video. Pretty good testament I’d say.

[@mister10x54]

This is go at its finest, commented by one of the greatest.

[@yagzyalcntas553]

amazing commentary! he makes other pros and teachers look not so capable of explaining things clearly :D

[@MalcolmClarke25]

I wish I had anywhere near the playing ability to understand the game like this! Amazing.

[@lyingcat9022]

He basically has a Doctorate in Go… maybe 2 Doctorates. So anywhere approaching his strength would be fantastic.

[@TwirlySocrates]

This game is absolutely wild!

[@peterstrianus1790]

Michael seems more comfortable in Japanese than English

[@peterkonig486]

Thanks, Michael Redmond

[@adyton9737]

"Maravillosa jugada" ❤😊 Blessing in the Name of Jesucristo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@DontbtmeplaysGo]

Well, this game sure was intense... O.o;

[@seapanda-117]

Lol I know this is a couple years old, but I just found it. Michael looks like he almost laughed during that intro of the players walking out.

[@yotamalon55]

Great cast and analysis! Really interesting and in depth, please do more of these :D

[@barbaryn7899]

That's gotta be so hard to commentate and try to predict their moves this is a good move or here would also be good, oh they played here that's also a very strong move. Hard job good work

[@pandasrtasty]

Usually I avoid redmonds cast/commentary because he tends to edge on highly technical and doesn't elaborate for the basic thought process. Having said that I completely followed his commentary this match and found it very enjoyable, either I'm more skilled (doubtful) or he was more mindful of the less skilled audience. Either way just wanted to say thank you for the quality content.

[@cobalius]

Am I the only one seeing that heart there?

[@李威-f8d]

厉害啊，这解说的外国人对围棋的理解比得上那些围棋大师啊。

[@ShredST]

他在日本长大的 十四岁进入了日本棋院

[@marylynch6288]

Michael I will appreciate that you just follow the moves of the players. You are not playing, show one of your matches.

[@gosugosu1280]

so many uhm's in the beginning xD

[@benparkinson8314]

Goes on tangents... Consistantly falls behind actual gameplay

[@iamLI3]

in the high level board game world we call them variations , and this game is very slow paced he wasn't falling behind much.....

[@Quinub]

What would you propose he talk about instead? This is what go commentary is. Always playing the game move as fast as possible would not be anywhere near as interesting as hearing a very good player talk about what the players are probably thinking about.

[@cicadasmasher8082]

From someone who has absolutely no idea how to play this game, I really liked and appreciated it.

[@lullieooo]

Bruh...
