Top 5 Go Mistakes in March (9-1 Kyu)

[@matthewlarson2161]

Incredibly underrated video series in the world of English language Go! Thank you! I have improved my understanding of “why” to make certain moves immensely from watching you!

[@quistyquistsounds]

You're my favorite youtube Go teacher. Efficient teaching, right to the point, and you bring up concepts that are genuinely new to me. Thank you so much!

What I hugely appretiate here is that someone thought of giving presenter actual good quality microphone so that we can understand her. Thanks

Dear Yin, I study education, how to develop educational material and how to teach teachers, I've been teaching myself international chess, draughts and go. Based on my experience (I'm 70+) your video is really great ..I would say perfect. Thanks.

[@stewartkerlin2565]

Thank you so much this whole series has been so helpful to learning and understanding Go! :)

[@Tillkila]

That was very helpful. Thank you very much

Most teachers say "it's probably ok" "this is also fine" "sometimes that is also a good idea" "this is possible". Even though it might be true this makes me confused. You say this is right this is wrong. It is much more clear to me this way, thank you!

[@gokyu6478]

There is no wrong or right move in go, even pro can just know which move is better. Btw, im fine with her expression

[@ClarkPotter]

Yeah, Go, as far as human or beginner/intermediate (or even expert/master) understanding is concerned, can't be spoken about so absolutely, in honesty, when we're discussing guiding principles of play. Of course it's still finite and mathematical so you *can* say that *something* is correct (leads to highest forceable end score differential with perfect play). If you desire more absolutististic notions then maybe Go isn't for you. More likely tho, Go is *especially* good for you, to adopt more fluidity in thought. See beyond the language, anywhere, to come closer to where the speaker is pointing, than get hung up on absolute veracity or particular articulation. So in Go, what if the difference between two options early is a mere 3 points 100 moves later, but even the world champion can't play precisely enough ever to realize those 3 points, objectively...Then in practical terms it comes down to what either works best for your current style of play, or what's better for your growth to play.

Amazingly instructive

[@murilomenezes5243]

Very good! Thanks a lot for these lessons. Clear and direct instructions.

[@remifalasido2903]

Very interesting lesson !

[@attilakiss8585]

This was very useful, thank you!

[@TheJuaniji]

Super good lesson. I am learning a lot from these clases. Keep teaching them please. I am very thankful for your effort if I can support your work in any way, let me know. If you have books or stuff like boards for example I would like to have one teaching board like yours in my house to study with friends. Let me know. Gladly I would buy your equipment.

Dang. I hadn't even considered that last concept

[@BEATSofDevil]

Great video, thanks

[@Tunacupenda]

Acabo de descubrir su canal, me parece excelente. Gracias por compartir sus saberes

[@huntermaxwell6406]

On the 8 minute situation isn't white kick the best move instead of block?

[@deleteme924]

At 7:00, what about attaching at 三5? I would think that then you have even more space to settle, and you avoid making the stone at 三14 run out and reduce Black's right side.

[@fredrikdahl3809]

In position 3, I would have invaded the 3-pt extension on top, rather than splitting two strong positions, and Leela seems to agree.

[@lassikokkonen5618]

12:30 I would have made atari two times on those two stones and cut and win the big group, but my opponent probably would have given them up and I would have lost.

[@horvathrenata968]

Are u an official gomoku player Yin?

[@deeprollingriver5820]

I am very interested in this game but I need someone to set beside me and explain this.

[@andrewfrankovic6821]

I don't know if Stephanie answers posts, so this is an at-large question. I've been finding youtube go lessons very helpful, and just as brutal. At first I was thinking starting with the 9 x 9 board is the way to go, way to go, h'ah h'ah h'ah. That was an accidental joke. I don't if that's appropriate here. I'm now wondering if it is better to study the 19 by 19 game and use 9 x 9 or 13 x 13 for practice.

[@cook7772]

Andrew Frankovic if you’re new to the game, start on the small board. Whole board thinking not going to do you much good if your reading is too bad. I got to SDK on Playing 9x9 and study 19x19. I’m not saying to wait that long before switching, just making the point. A Lot of things you’ll need to learn first will be faster on the smaller board.

[@lassikokkonen5618]

My ear!!!

[@wenqing5917]

Okay...?

[@Turtle1631991]

Are these real SDK games btw? Are they blitz games? I am 8k EGF and most of these mistakes I would not make in serious game. Especially the peep at the dragon. That screams DDK at me...

are you single?????
