Great lecture Mr Redmond! I found it very useful and you showed me some alternatives to the "normal" responses where you just do a 2 space jump for a base. Keep up the excellent work!

[@AbsoluteSilencePiano]

You have the gift with each proverb to answer one of my current question on my progression in the game of go. I had trouble lately making my weak groups live and it sometimes ends up on death of some of my groups in the Yose. I'm glad to have your teachings guide me since my beginning this year and am looking forward, with excitement, for your next proverb explanations or any other informative video you'll make.

[@damonskinner4766]

I watch a lot of Go content, but this is next level. Super clear explanation of a very important technique. I like the variations from positions that we've all seen in our games and that you let a hypothetical game play out at the end with some simply commentary.

[@dem8568]

What a great explanation of this technique, it really explained so many concepts. Thanks!

[@ArchaicMuse]

Thank you for the video and guidance!

[@fresh6000]

This is one of the best channels, good also for kyu level players. Thank you Michael

[@superisegd6770]

Great video! I like the fact that you use the same game in every example in the video

[@HearterSG]

Useful to see the pattern here. Thank you!

[@87rtlandry]

Very helpful proverb to know. Thank you for the explanation. I know this will help me improve in my games.

[@Epistemonto]

Excellent video! Three in-game examples in the same game! That's the best. Thanks for the great lectures!

[@rizieritrapanese4906]

Wonderful! Your teachings are very clear even for me as a beginner and not familiar with the English language. Thank you very much Michael, you have a very precious gift: the light in your eyes makes visible what was previously invisible to my beginner's eyes. I love you very much😍

[@87rtlandry]

Seems that Cho Chikun might use this approach a lot, knowing that he loves to invade and fight.

[@dauraktv]

I really like how you did the close up on the board

[@raindrozest9558]

wow this video is shaking my whole Go understanding. I'm just 15k. I've been playing like "winning" corners and getting 2nd into 3rd line groups like at minute 9 here was a good outcome. oops. thanks for the great videos!

[@savvytravvi8660]

Hey Mr Redmond, thank you for sharing your passion for Go. Im not sure if youve noticed, but your mic appears to be picking up artifacts somewhere along the recording process. It did distract during the otherwise fantastic video.

[@flosikfgsleijflsn6025]

Thanks Michael!

[@josephmartin3887]

great video! i really appreciate your help :)

[@dchung726]

Awesome! This was so helpful!!!! Thank you so much, sir!!!

[@piershanson1784]

Great video as always, I was wondering though, some variations look ladder dependent, what might you do if the ladder isn’t in favor of the player making sabaki?

[@Kleptology]

This!

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Please look back at my definition of Sabaki, shown throughout most of the video. The light and flexible part includes the idea that Black had almost no resources in the area to start with, and should be happy with a trade. While ladders were not in any of the mainline variations in this video, in general such a trade can involve allowing the opponent to capture one stone in a ladder. You might have been seeing that possibility in the extra variations at the end.

[@1Rook1600]

Thank you for these videos! I would have a question, though. In the first example in the bottom left, if white answers the tsuke with C7, what are black's options? I can see D4-D3-C6, but is that sufficient?

[@andrewgibb2663]

I would also be very interested to hear an answer to this from Michael.

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

Black B4, White C3, Black E5, White E7, Black F4, White G2, Black H4. Black's stone at C5 becomes the main group, and the C9 stone can be sacrificed

[@kaanmalcok279]

At 10:08, can white also extend at M17 or is invading right side more urgent? I would feel uncomfortable if black started a split attack against my two weak groups!

[@87rtlandry]

What should white do if black plays an attachment on top of the invasion stone instead of pincering? Does white continue playing lightly? Or is it better to hane?

[@alpaycemrecam]

Perfect video! What is the difference between black E7 and D6 at 4:59 ?

[@MichaelRedmondsGoTV]

It is a subtle difference and the judgement of which to play will be changed by the full board position. D6 is more forceful with me expecting that White will reply immediately at E5. However, it does not completely settle the Black group, with White threatening to attack at E9 next. If Black avoids that attack by adding a stone at E9, then it becomes relatively inefficient with Black ending in gote and White has good shape all over. I chose E7 because it makes good shape with the follow-up at E5 if White plays away, and is more efficient than D6 if we assume that White will answer at E5.
