My game against Ogaki 9P

[@andremouss2536]

Perfect pedagogy and exciting views on the game, as always. The way you devote your time and energy to the game is most commendable. Thank you, Michael, we are lucky to have you.

Great game and commentary, as usual!

I really appreciate hearing your mental process for how you manage your groups, attacks, ko's and overall decision making. I know you are just scratching the surface but it gives me a good pattern to think about as I progress. You have a truly phenomenal way of teaching. Thank you.

Very interesting game and extremely helpful analysis 👌🏽 Thank you Michael!

in fact R6 gets (w much less visits !) the *same* score as C6 on my katago after 5 mins of calc.

Thank you- the way you showed it was better to make a bamboo joint that would then net the single white stone and hence make the ladder invalid was beautiful - and something I will try to take to my level of games.

These game commentaries are the best I have seen, in large part because they cover pretty much all aspects. Nothing is presumed. Many thanks!

[@lorddessicated]

[@AntheInEcht]

[@jerel42]

Thanks very much, Michael! Big fan of yours for 30+ years. :)

Great video, as usual. Your explanations on the fuseki are hugely instructive to me (OGS 7k). For example, ideas like why the kakari at R6 is a bad move in relation to Black's position on the upper right corner help me a lot to progress in the game.

I like to think of 9P as a smiley x) Also, thanks of course for showing the game and commentary!

[@Thornstream]

Congratulations on the win! Well played

[@sinjofin1]

Great look at the Ko and the bottom side, thank you

[@brimmedHat]

Thanks Michael.

[@hippophile]

Excellent as ever! :))

[@gatsud4685]

You are my hero :)

[@fredrikdahl3809]

Great video! But I wonder about move 13, where you explain how R6 is still considered a bad move, since black is low and strong in the upper right. This always made sense to me, but Kata's "low score" for this move is less than 0.5 point below the top choice. Doesn't this mean that the play is very close to perfect (and possibly is, since fractional point values do not really exist)? The same applies to the splitting move at K3. Isn't it way more important to play moves you like/understand, since even pros leak 10s of point throughout the game?

gr g and gr players!

„A move human would play, I mean top professionals of course 🤣🤣🤣“

[@marcelocarpinetti9184]

Is there a website where we can get the sgf files of your Kiriyama Cup games? I usually copy all the moves from the video to my Go database so I can add the commentaries (some of my own too) for later study using a real board, but specially during the yose, when they are shown very quickly, I miss some and have to watch it many times over to get it right. I would also like to know the exact the date of the game.
