Goodness... fighting sure seems hard. Can't we all just play nice Go??

When your heart goes from 60 to 180 bpm in a matter of second! Yeah let's play nice Go!

[@fungkam7501]

Just as people say white horse is not a horse, nice Go is not Go

[@BrokenG-String]

I have never been this incredibly lost in my entire life

[@blackmonster4708]

i am lost and very happy about finding my way out

[@iamjimfan]

Hope you are alright now

[@windwolf007]

You really are a good teacher. You really deserve a good you tube channel.

[@jimmyjam86]

Thank you for this series! I am normally a jiu jitsu teacher but I cannot train due to corona virus. Leraning to play Go is really helping me cope, thank you

[@HKBoba]

Yess another person learning go from covid lol

[@quang-trandao4084]

valuable lessons for us to apply on our own playstyle. Thanks a lot.

[@bmibudstermaverick5511]

It’s so hard to keep up as a new player

[@bmibudstermaverick5511]

I don’t get the first example if black goes solo on that bot spot wouldn’t white just trap the black spot and capture it ??

[@vr4ever645]

Love this video. I'm just to dumb to play go😂

[@cannonsovercharged]

If you cant write good, you cant think good, and others will do your thinking for you

[@vr4ever645]

Gregorious SachsoGrammaticus That is good to hear, since I'm a photographer for a living and not good with words that other people think of...😆

[@TrueBlueAndrew]

I’ve played for 10+ years now. So fun. I teach all my friends

[@godave8934]

I like this style of video - worth continuing :)

[@peti29music94]

I really like your videos! Keep them coming!

[@SCUD7005]

Great videos! At first I had no clue what I was doing but these explanations sure help to get a deeper understanding. What an amazing game!

[@su5ho]

I still can never answer any of the questioned you ask. But these are the sickest videos, can’t stop watching them.

[@woodlandcritterpunch]

I like that these videos are a little shorter than Nick Sibicky's. Not that Nick Sibicky isn't excellent too, but these are much more manageable for someone with ADD such as myself

[@madarain]

While I'm trying to really grasp some point you just made, you are already onto the next possible solution. That's good cause it's forcing me to be quicker. I could slow the video down, but I think re-watching is a better idea. It gives me another chance to strengthen my vocabulary too, which is vital since there are no English words for things like Tesuji or in Sente...also good. Bottom line. You're going too fast, but it's me who needs to speed up, so don't slow down on my account.

[@lakegardner7320]

You use a lot of GO terms in this video. You never covered in your hot to play go videos what those terms are. I am a beginner go player and did not understand half of this video because I do not know what the terms mean. Please make a video covering just the terms of GO and what they mean and what they look like.

[@AudreysKitchen]

Wow, these are really great videos! I'm diving in deep and I'm sure I'm a little over my head in it right now, but I've been practicing a little bit and trying to start thinking properly about the game, and your videos are a big help. Thanks!

[@Deniz-uc5nt]

I get nightmares of coach putting my game in 20-30kyu section

[@febrihalik7072]

Greetings from Indonesia... I learn a lot from this video...😀

[@LaVidadeM]

Guys, please do videos about handicap games

[@FelipeMaza]

Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge ☺️

[@ANSIcode]

These examples have little to do with fighting?! Mostly life and death... Why? Last I checked, "fighting" was about weak groups running, trying to get shape and to enclose each other...

[@leednguyen7417]

I feel slow, I don’t understand it. Been playing couple weiqi

[@bmibudstermaverick5511]

4:00 doesn’t make sense to me

[@ShredST]

After black S5 and white R5, black Q4 puts the top two white stones in atari, so white has to connect at Q6 to save those stones, then black can connect at Q3 to take away the second eye

[@joachimmr834]

It’s so helpful for learning go, thank you so much 😊

[@spanishmackerel]

Thank you. Very helpful. I must miss so much stuff like this in my own games.

[@aaronTNGDS9]

Great demonstration of vital points. Love this series.

[@fenderbassboy]

Awesome vids, very helpful. Please continue posting more.

[@metalstar5360]

와 영어 랑 바둑이랑 같이 공부할수 있겠어요~^^

[@captaindaddy4991]

Great teaching. I'm just learning the game and your videos are very clear and helpful.

[@Weichi928]

Crazy, mind-twisting problems!

[@6zhn]

Good problems and the pacing was well done so I could try to find the correct variation in time. That last one was great, I love these moves that just look bad at first glance, because I dismiss those in my games too.

[@fungkam7501]

It is interesting that you can find very good examples of life and death in actual games of all levels.

[@attilakiss8585]

Thank you, lovely Lady!

[@jsteel89]

She's so damn cute!

[@rabotchii]

Greetings from Brasil... muito obrigado!!!

[@yagzyalcntas553]

I am 6 kyu at kgs and i couldnt see the first one haha, Question: at 7:12 can we also ateri at N-7 and cut the connection M-6 and kill one of the groups?

[@krisztiankoblos1948]

I think the same. But i have to play it out to make sure.

[@krisztiankoblos1948]

Not working.

[@yagzyalcntas553]

@@krisztiankoblos1948 why

[@krisztiankoblos1948]

@@yagzyalcntas553 BN7 , WM6, BO6, WO5 and the white is connected. Now it has 1 eye and 2 open eyes. And it's Miai i think.

[@memrek7929]

For the example at 5:15 ; When black plays on R5, if white does not care and plays on O5, white wins an guarantee eye. Then, black can plays on K7, other half eye, for break it. So, white plays on S4 or Q5. And white lives. Or, Black can plays on S4 and Black can takes a stone. So, white plays on K7. And white lives. I think; O5 is sente for white. Because, if black plays on O6 then plays on O5, the white group is parts. May be, the group on under is alive but the group on bottom is dead. If white does not answer at O5, Black must happy because two black groups contact now. If white answers at O5, Black can plays on R5 now. White chooses at die or crate to KO. I do not know, may be I wrong. Thank you for this wonderful videos. Edit: Sorry, I had not seen N7 point.

[@phantombunny]

she is so pretty too : )

[@panavsingh9834]

she is married you jerk

[@persman9019]

Hi, I am a complete beginner in Go. I have just one question for you. :) If you choose to play white, and I can play black, can I make the first move? Because I'll pick you up anytime. ;)

[@partingmist8550]

I somehow misread every problem , wow. I think that is why im losing my games. it is easy to do life and death problems because you know there is an answer you just have to keep reading till you find it. Not sure how to bridge the gap between tsumego and actual game. I was 3kyu on KGS then I took about 5 years break. I started playing again recently and right now I am 11-12kyu on OGS. I play as CalmRiver if you want to become my friend on OGS. I tried a bit more tsumego and I was not reading it well lol. I think maybe I am having trouble imagining the stones today :)

[@patrickboehler7814]

I heard of GO for the first time in a movie, which, at that time, I thought was something made up for the movie. Then I saw GO played by characters in a TV show. So i started poking around and now cant get enough. Made 18 Kyu in about 2 weeks thanks to these videos. You and Ryan are great. Ur terribly cute the way u teach and ryan very nonchalant but still like "yeah im awesome. You dont have to tell me. I already know." 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for taking the time to make all these videos and putting them out there for a rookie like me to learn from.

[@2Oldcoots]

Fascinating

[@gaetankeribin497]

For the last example, I didn't quite understand how the winning move helps blacks get two free ko

[@timstimbre9762]

Wait, Go has Dragons as well? Ok now I'm definitely into this game.

[@wolfy9979]

What does the 'kyu' mean? Like 9-1 kyu players?, for example.

[@wotomm1016]

Thanks!

[@BluebonnetU]

its random we are not fighting for real plus we have to think thats good for our brain kinda funny right?😂😂

[@dchung726]

I really appreciate this channel. Thank you for making these videos.

[@shawnsmith1865]

Whoa...lots of new terms to learn here. I didn't know there was so much to this game. It's exciting!

[@greg55666]

"Moil"? That sounds Yiddish not Japanese.

[@mynameisearlb]

Awesome videos, you are really easy to listen to and explain things well

[@somebody1828]

22:20 what if black does S5, threatening S6? seems to me like black could kill it

[@fungkam7501]

In the last example, white can not make a Ko, as white can extend from left side and let whit to take the white stone

[@ComtedeMonteC]

Thank you very much. Well explained.

[@yagzyalcntas553]

you are beautiful Stephanie, it is a pleasure to learn from you hope you will read this too :)

[@Pabloparsil]

This is (or used to be) the best go channel

[@ryteulopki8069]

Comment for 1st discussed strategy. 1:20 Would not black stone placed at 1(ONE)-O (OMEGA) intersection closed whole corner? The whole group would get surrounded by black stones.

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

watch the video about life and death situations. just because black has the whole bottom left corner surrounded, doesn't mean that white can't keep it's pieces alive by creating two eyes. If white can create two eyes, then all its pieces there will stay alive.

[@dhruvkumarkakadiya410]

great work, awesome! and this is a valuable lesson for me! thanks a lot

[@Elmarias777]

last example just reminds me of the proverb "there is death in the hane"

[@sergiuchuck]

22:21 is it, really, a ko? Looks like that s5 and s6 can kill unconditionally.. Answer is ko, because after n12 white either makes an eye with n10, or cuts and kills something.

[@NYIGGo]

White having n12 does not threaten any working cuts!

[@josephthompson7408]

I love this game

[@EDWVR]

This made me so good

[@maximmakarenko9967]

双活 = seki / dual life

[@bardock2525]

firstly great channel.. i don wanna say that when i first saw these videos i really didnt understand much.. then i went through approx a 100 games (losing most of them obviously :D) but now am able to grasp what you are talking about much better.. maybe an advice to others watching this and getting confused.. anyway, not sure if u still read comments.. but i had a query for the 19-10 Kyu problem at 8 min mark.. my question is that even after Black throws in at R5, can White not Live using the following pattern? Am I missing some superior black move here? W - K7 (to secure top eye, ignoring black throw in) B - S3 W - S4 B - P4 W - Q5 (securing the one bottom eye) And after this I can't really see black stopping this white bottom eye from connecting to the top eye or anything.
