Strength in Gote - Back to Basic Baduk

[@АлександрЖитковский-р7я]

Man, Gote series - is a revelation. It's amazing. Please make a gote day) I'm gonna watch it all))

[@SkyFoxTale]

IGS style...so peaceful. I picture old Japanese men just chillin

[@Martin_Gregory]

I really got a lot out of this - even just the concept that "every move doesn't have to be sente, duh!"

[@Quinub]

11:50 "That didn't take reading * reads * see no reading at all"

[@dwyrin]

lol well when i look at something i have to take a second to make sure im being honest with myself. Make sure i stop and think ok, whats the obvious thing to do here etc...

[@Anachronism91]

48:10 - I think this is such an important point, and I realized it's the main problem with my playing. Looking back over my mistakes, almost all my worst ones have been when I assume I'm behind and try to fix it by getting greedy and overplaying

[@sandpiperbf9767]

I would like to see this lesson integrated into your normal games more, but maybe not in quite as extreme of a way. I feel like this is very counter to your normal play style which is very sente hungry

[@dwyrin]

I could give that a shot in one of my basics streams on monday

[@mailieboisson7974]

17'26...I sat back contemplating the huge between me and dan's world.....far far far away. Sigh

[@unsourced7561]

Gote by it's nature is a bad thing. The difference here is that you are noting how some moves are worth enough despite the fact that they are Gote.

[@cameronmccoy5051]

At about 15:15 you ask if there’s any other large point to take right now. I was eyeballing L16 and H16 to threaten his top area and work towards connecting the top right corner to the wall you have in top left. Would that not work for leading into some more territory in that upper left quadrant of the middle? (Edit) obviously this video was about Gote but especially if you were to use something like M12 to lean on that right side, you could build up a decent area of territory there, yes?

[@Maharani1991]

[@williamlechelle9566]

I don't think black can really connect himself in the H16 area no, white is really strong there. If you look at something like the H12 point, white has three exits from here, to the left, to the top and to the bottom. I don't really see black making points in there.

[@jaredvizzi8723]

I thought those faces at the bottom left in the beginning were emojis for a second.

[@colin3108]

I need this. thank you.

[@Turtle1631991]

Also are you familiar with Hane Naoki? He sports style similar to the ideas you present here. I quite admire it.

[@rayniac211]

He has a go term in his name! Born to play go lol

[@junemars3304]

Would it be crazy to suggest starting a new game once you've gotten to the middle game in a basics series? I may be wrong but the essence of Gote is to play a move that lacks a strong follow up and or importance. In large what you have described as Honte is most definitely not Gote. Just a thought :)

[@mathkrGames]

thx for the vid, batts! at 49:15: is it me or are you undervaluing R18 like all the time? it's so big 💰💰💰

[@mathkrGames]

then again, there's D19 follow-up 🤔🤔

[@Greganthus72]

@@mathkrGames But R18 is also sente because of the clamp at P18. So I think you are correct, that R18 is bigger.

[@williamlechelle9566]

Oh yeah definitely, R18 is way bigger. R18 has a P18 follow-up, which itself has a O19 follow-up, and O19 is same as D19. In the words of Batts himself "you're not watching this stream for the endgame".

[@mcdiskett2003]

What I want to know is whats the live desktop wallpaper

[@dwyrin]

So i use wallpaper engine off of steam, and its called 'earth outer space 4k'

[@binx8231]

At 33:27 I can't see a ko, just atari first and I think b is fine, isn't it? If so, your move was fine too.

[@alwayslookingatself]

18:00 to 18:25 could those be KO threats for a future KO?

[@Turtle1631991]

Doesn't C7 give white C2 making your corner really tiny because there is push? My instinct says B7 - I know we don'T like to play on 2nd line in fuseki but this one seems just better idea shape wise.....

[@cruzcruz6966]

The aji in the corner is a little better with B7, but it allows white a much better chance at surrounding black (C8 gets hard to answer, for instance). Since the one white stone D6 isn't connected to the wall, the C2 move doesn't even really work yet, and even if it did, responding outside at, say, D7 instead of B2 isn't a calamity. TL:DR a little bit of corner aji isn't as important as not being surrounded. Playing on the second line really is as bad as they say it is.

[@tiro0oO5]

Waaah you are watching owl? Awesome! I am one of the 10 and totally laughed at the goats joke. ... when you say „hi chat“ sometimes, do you accidentally copy Jayne? ... what is your favorite owl team? :D

[@dwyrin]

Nope its cause i stream every week and always talking to chat. I watch owl sometimes but when i see mirror match ups in goats i tend to turn it off. I hate knowing whats going to be played before the match begins, especially when thats all you see on and off the ladder.

[@tiro0oO5]

@@dwyrin hehe, I am too low ranked to see much goats it in my ladder games (plat-noob). I actually like the tactics that go into the goats mirror matches, but yes, some more dps action is nice, that is why I tend to watch chengdu hunters most of the time (they almost never play goats). btw. my main youtube activities: watch some OWL and your go-videos afterwards :) its a good combination ... overwatch for some tactical action and go because it is just awesome and can calm you down

[@RolandTitan]

I got that joke

[@RolandTitan]

39:00

[@Kuroshiro_123]

I call it IGS just because everyone else does on twitch.... I just thought it was a shorter name like KGS, ogs

[@macnolds4145]

I like the story and characters of FF 2 (FF 4), but like many early RPGs, it suffers from the "everything-is-a-cave" problem. Hence, I prefer FF 5 and FF 3 (FF 6).

[@pedromoralesmko]

Lots of complications...

[@stevendegennaro]

I don't know, man... you only won by half a point against someone 6 stones weaker than you are. That's not exactly a strong advertisement for playing in gote.
