AI Joseki#3 A new way to deal with the corner enclosure The 4-4 attachment

[@Goryus]

Please keep doing these. You are the pride of the western Go world!

I like how the Michael doll does a spin at 500rpm in the intro.

[@vazquezb2011]

And this is why Redmond is so popular as Go commentator in Japan: logical, clear and informative. A pleasure to watch.

[@marcelocarpinetti9184]

These joseki lectures are gold, not just because of the information itself, but because the presentation is really nice and clear. I hope there are more of it in the future, as well as some fuseki lectures as well.

[@calikyilmaz]

This is a very nice gift that you offer us. We are grateful.

[@dogsnout]

Great Channel! I'm glad you have opened one up for you. I enjoy the lessons

[@hippophile]

Very nice. Again I knew most of this, but joining all the dots was great, and the example games and professional evaluations are very valuable! Thanks!

[@seventus]

I love how you express the ideas behind the moves and their purpose. Good stuff as always! Keep it up!

[@IMortage]

I love these. Very clear explanations. Good choice of variations, as far as I can tell as a rather weak player. They certainly seem to explain the why better than most ppl do with joseki.

Thank you, Sensei!

Obrigado por compartilhar. Sou 4kyu na kgs, nunca fiz revisão ou estudei nada referente a GO, sempre joguei e acabei aprendendo com meus próprios jogos, assistir jogos sempre me deu muito sono, não sei o nome técnico de nada, a não o tal de joseki dizem que tem vários eu acho que conheço um. Apesar de não falar inglês, não consigo entender nada, mas tenho aprendido muito com sua forma de explicar didática muito boa, com desenhos etc. Depois que assisti uma vídeos seu percebi que fiz menos merda nos meu jogos. Obrigado saúde pra você.(Thanks for sharing. I'm 4kyu na kgs, I never reviewed or studied anything related to GO, I always played and I ended up learning from my own games, watching games always made me very sleepy, I don't know the technical name of anything, except that Joseki says he has several I think I know one. Although I don't speak English, I can't understand anything, but I have learned a lot from his way of explaining didactics, drawings, etc. After watching your videos I realized that I did less shit in my games. Thank you health to you.)

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Thanks! I don't understand Portuguese but got some help from Google Translate. The Go problems playlist has videos that don't require much English

[@hironakae]

great content! can we please get a video on the 4-4 attachment on large high shimari please? (ni-ken tobi shimari)

[@nicolascervara8839]

Hello sir. Thank you very much for the great content you put on this channel. The tools and insights you provide in these videos are exceptional. Is there a way for us to support your work and help you develop the channel?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Thank You. So far I am enjoying the challenge of understanding the platform and hoping to provide enjoyable videos for Go players throughout the world, so just stay tuned, and the charitable thought suffices.

[@Hamsters831]

Is there an joseki for a 4-4 attachment to a 3-4 opening move?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

that is usually played with the 3-4 being a part of Chinese opening, or some similar position on the side, so not a common joseki.

[@Hamsters831]

@@MichaelRedmondsGoTV I face it quite a lot with aggressive players. Right after my 3-4 and my opponent will attach.. can't seem to find a joseki for this like you said. I wonder if a 4-3 or a 3-3 is better.

[@Rubrickety]

I'm curious whether you find the Japanese or the English commentary easier to do, and which you record first.

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Not always the same order, but I tend to do more editing with the Japanese

[@tobelstoker9992]

I have a question. Since AIs seem to change their opinion on the 3-3 invasion, could one assume that a stone on the star point followed by a 3-3 invasion, somewhat is close to the equilibrium between territory and influence? What i mean is, that the average outcome in territory for the invader is comparable in value to the influence the stone on the star point promises. So that when i want to evaluate if a sequence i want to play is "ok", i could ask myself, does the stone i play provide similar territory or influence to a 3-3 invasion? Thank you very much anyway, i love your videos.

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Yes AIs seem to like both the star point and the direct 3-3 invasion, so I think we can assume the result is even enough

[@tobelstoker9992]

@@MichaelRedmondsGoTV Thank you very much for your answer. After i wrote the question, i started to think more about it, and honestly should've watched more of your videos before posting it ;). My problem is, i often struggle evaluating if an opponent is too greedy claiming territory on the side or in a corner. And i want to get a feel, a rule of thumb, when i need to act on that, and reduce or invade a potential territory. The usual josekis resulting from a 3-3 invasion seem so appealing to me for that, because they settle an exchange quasi permanently. It feels like a mini game inside the bigger picture, that is settled fairly. One player gets a roughly 3 stone wide territory and the other player a kind of solid wall towards the center (there might be cutting points, but they need further investment to capitalize on them, so i think it's fair to neglect them in a snapshot evaluation). So if one player would surround the whole outside on the 3rd line that would be 192 of 361possible points, which is slightly more than half. So that, if you consider the wall is not completely tight, it totally makes sense that when i am getting solid boarder territory on the 3rd line i gained a little and if i am on the inside, i need a little more potential than just a wall towards the center. In the end securing 3 points of territory (including the stone itself) or potential to do so, with every stone seems a reasonable goal to get ahead, which would be the answer to my question, and after watching more, i could've answered it by myself xD. Nonetheless, thank you so much for your videos, i know i have a long way to go and your videos are helping me so much.

[@Rubrickety]

I just watched the first part of your review of the 1st SE Asia Go Congress (kzbin.info/www/bejne/al7TYmybmLWdr68), where you spend some time discussing a new AI move order for this position. Obviously that was recorded some time ago. Was this video prepared even before that, or did you simply not want to go into the alternate move order here? Or did the AIs change their minds again? :-)

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

In the SE Go Congress I was talking about a top pro game so I’d say that was more advanced. This video is more a structured lecture and I kept to what I think are the most important variations.

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

The AIs are still a bit undecided about if black plays an Atari first at the p4 point
