Sometimes Tenuki is a Must. How to Stay Ahead of Your Opponent? | Typical Mistakes in Go

[@OzgurMert]

Tenuki is my favourite term. I do it in real life when its necessary :) great video 👏

[@GoMagic]

It’s great to know you enjoyed the video. 👍

[@darnokx9277]

"If in doubt: tenuki." ... "Even in a Ko fight?" ... "Did I f*cking stutter?"

[@AndreyShavelev]

Thanks for the video, man! If only I could smash the like button twice.

[@GoMagic]

Always welcome! You can smash it thrice. 😀

This video is actually a serious confidence booster as a new player.

I must say, AI really changed things a lot... I recall seeing almost the exact same position of pos 3 on the top left in a Go book (I think by Ootake Hideo) something like 20 years ago. The book says white should block here because it secures white's base and prepares white to counterattack black at the top. Else, black will get more than just taking the corner away, because black will gain a lot of profit on the top attacking that white group in the future (well, that's how I would play it... I'm a scaredy cat who hates being saddled with weak groups). It really shows Katago's eagerness to fight if it opts to counter-pincer the top stone instead.

[@GoMagic]

Nevertheless, Otake Hideo's "Opening Theory Made Easy" is still pretty good and useful.

I really enjoyed this video. It's a good lesson for both novice and experienced players.

[@GoMagic]

Thank you!

[@thaominator582]

Im loving these video lessons!

[@GoMagic]

We're so glad to hear that 😊. Stay tuned for more!

[@loupax]

I think I’m having this problem both on Go and real life. Let me watch this a few more times 😅

[@bendg5638]

Great video! Small issue, the photo of the player you used for Byun Sangil is actually Shin Minjun

[@renancruzvideos]

Nice video!

[@renancruzvideos]

A minor observation: the picture is not of Byun Sangil, but of Shin Minjun

[@GoMagic]

Thank you!

[@Crackfee-chan]

Great video, just playing Tenuki sound so scary, but I should definitely try it ^^`

[@zxtremedemon]

Thanks for this video! I was always so confused about what tenuki is. I also got a test on the 30th of June. I hope I can reach 9k before then.

[@GoMagic]

A Go Test? =)

[@zxtremedemon]

@@GoMagic yes, I passed 11k before, i don’t know how.

[@zxtremedemon]

I got 12k 💀😭

[@GoMagic]

Ouch =( Don't give up!

[@GrandSyzygy]

I’m going to steal “Holy moyo!”

[@GoMagic]

😁

[@exsurgemechprints2671]

it takes two to tenuki

[@GoMagic]

😅

[@mangame5]

Not a fan of the little animated character, otherwise, good video!

[@ethantstanger]

I'll second that

[@GoMagic]

And we thought everyone loved the Nutcracker 😭

[@plixik716]

​@@GoMagic I think he helps to break up the seriousness

[@visionmusicexperience2977]

Same. I like it. But it did seem a bit jarring. Like maybe if it was introduced a little more subtly instead of screaming into the scene
