I'm extremely new to this game, but now I'm learning great moves from an expert...feels great...time to practice

[@jamescooper1968]

Or--try the books, "Tesuji" and "Life and Death" by James Davies, both from the Elementary Go Series. Great books that helped me, I've read them several times and still pull them out for fun.

[@garyisok1]

i also used this book to go from ddk to sdk. highly recommended

[@forestmagus1946]

Good video. I just started learning go. So after I complete the beginner books, I will look at the book you are talking about.

[@tufnel87]

Thanks for your videos! I've learned alot, and you turned me on to my new favorite anime! Hikaru no Go!!

[@paganhayes854]

Go to www.kiseidopublishing.com/go_books.htm The get strong series is about half way down. Tick the check box nest to the book you want then scroll down to the bottom and click the "book order selection complete" button. It's $21 US without shipping.

[@jdd1955]

This is one of the few books that I thought really helped me as well

[@user-wp5ts4bz3h]

Thanks for the video!

[@jungerhansmann6608]

love your videos!I just started playing 2 weeks ago and your videos helped me improve alot already. I just wanna say that sometimes your editing is weird. You begin a sentence or place a stone only to cut away from it and go somewhere else completly. It just confuses me sometimes and once in this video at 12:20 it even kind of gave away the answer to the problem before you asked to stop the video.

[@davidlean1060]

The shape with two stones parallel, capped by a stone at each end, the diamond like shape, it has a name?

[@InSente]

Hmmm not that I know of but if you find a name let me know!

[@boumbh]

7:24 As white, instead of B16, I would go to C18 for a miai connection, and no eye for black.

[@ceezb5629]

I'm literally a freakin beginner and I want to quit lol... what YT videos do you recommend to watch for beginners?

[@InSente]

You can watch my Beginner Go Series playlist, it takes a complete beginner through everything they need to know about the game! Just head to my channel homepage and the playlist is there

[@Burps___]

I went to buy it from your link, but I can't afford it. $118 new. Maybe I should get the used copy for $40?

[@Burps___]

Wait, I searched again and found another Amazon listing for a new copy for $258. This guy Bozulich must be a gazilionaire! I can't afford to be an 8 kyu. . 😟

[@InSente]

@@Burps___ hmmm this should not be that expensive. I'll need to do some research on the link. All the other 'get strong at go' books are around 35 dollars. Maybe there's a better seller I can find

[@InSente]

So I tried to search for other vendors, including the original account of the author, but no dice! I suppose used would be the best you can do, my only guess is it isn't being printed as regularly as it used to? I'm sorry that's so depressing! But I'm sure if you wanted to buy them used it would be just as good! Definitely don't spend over 100 on the book haha

[@antoniocapone877]

Do not buy those from Amazon!

[@InSente]

@@antoniocapone877 Where should you buy them? I tried searching the title but nothing other than amazon popped up and the Keseido website has no order page. I got mine from amazon for a good price years ago.

[@fortheloveofgo4127]

Any other Go book recommendations?

[@InSente]

I just started a series on "Lessons In The Fundamentals Of Go" - that's one of my favorite books 📚

[@deleteme924]

23:35 How does White refute the 2-1 point?

[@matheusvportela]

Mets shoulder hit the white stone, right? It seems to work as well as far as I could see.

[@deleteme924]

@@matheusvportela Haha, well yes, technically it's a shoulder hit on the second line

[@reggaemow]

11:55 couldnt white aim for a ko?

[@DeezNutz-yg8io]

I think white is one liberty short of being able to meaningfully make a ko fight. Are you referring to white playing on line 1 (bottom of board) and line 5 intersection? The spot that puts both the two black stones and the one black stone in Atari. To my mediocre reading level, black would capture on line 6, white could atari that stone on line 7. This does set up a ko fight, but it is really only for the one point contained in the ko, as well as to maintain shape for white. After white on line 7, black and white each have 2 liberties, but black can play on line 2 and be *one liberty ahead* of white. White to play, but it's too late. ＋ＢＢＢＷＷ ＢW WWＢＷ ＢＢＷ +ＢＷ ＋ ＢＷＢ+ ＢＷ All stones mentioned are played on the first line/bottom of the board.

Is anyone else having problems displaying www.goinsente.com ? I'm on Firefox and I just get the 2 bouncing ball animation but nothing else.....

[@InSente]

Hey, so unfortunately I had to take that website down due to upkeep funds. It has a new owner now and I have no idea what the url goes to

[@paganhayes854]
