12:00 The more cryptic and the more beautiful he can make those aphorisms, the more and the longer he can charge his students for the meaning.

It's so beautiful that you're able to articulate the story of these games and the intention of each move in a way that is relevant and meaningful to those of us playing the game over 500 years later... This is the thing that keeps me interested in this game. It's lovely.

6:20 Thank you for including this

[@anuzis]

Huge fan of this series! Fired up for game 10. Thanks for all the effort that went into bringing the series this far.

[@michaelcooley2670]

Can't wait for the final installment!

[@grahamelder4197]

Such an interesting series: thanks.

5:20 I think the rationale stronger players (including pros) gave me about their reluctance of playing this specific type of ko threat was that it's a bad exchange overall, specially after White captures B14, like it happened in the game. But maybe it's worth it with respect to the ko. (2 pros once told me that was the same reason why the "hane" in the flying daggers joseki was a bad exchange, and the reason that joseki was possible.)

[@telegraphgo]

obviously it's a bad exchange, all ko threats are bad exchanges, they lose a ko threat. it's so baked in that it's bad in general, it's unintuitive to consider for many high level players

24:43, we need a better term than thiccness

[@telegraphgo]

I will only stop saying thick when the occasional well-timed reminder that it sounds the same as thicc is no longer funny
