What would you say are some typical situations in which black would want to play the second approach move high instead of low?

Hot topic!

Great video. Thank you very much.

Really impressed by your concise summary of this problem and the patterns that can emerge. Thanks!

heyo, thanks a lot mate 🫶

Wouldn't the position at time 5:58 be a ko if white plays at D19?

What do you think about the series " Becoming 9kyu " on the OGS forum? And, do you think that Haengma/Shape gonna be an important topic? Because most beginners that I taught still don't know what they are doing after Joseki.

This lesson is great!

Do you have any plans to do videos about the Endgame topic?

I'm starting a project to spread Go in my country (I'm 1dan), and I've been searching for a systematic teaching method for reference for half a year! And this is all I need! Thanks a lot!

I loved the last position

<3

another great video

best go content out there, straight to the point, good examples. as a new player I cannot wait to watch all of your videos.

I'm still very much a beginner, and I've really been enjoying your videos recently. I've learned so much from them, and I really appreciate your approach to presenting this kind of material so that it can be understood at an entry-level way and filled in later as we mature. I haven't found any resources that work for me nearly as well as your channel, so thanks very much for being here!

Thanks for creating this channel! Looking forward to improving my game.

<3

I'm a... total beginner. And so my journey begins. Thanks

Thanks

Thanks a lot for all the great go videos. At time 0:44 black's move number 7 at D19 puts itself in atari.

Great explanation Kaz. For me the "aha" moment was when I realised the reason that we need to fill in the corners is really to connect the stones up so they cannot be attacked with atari. Thanks!

We like the possibilities, shall we?

Amazing

This technique is worthless without showing situation that leads to it. I tried to play it out and I couldn't get to this situation

G13, … F13 G15, F14 F13, White connects by capturing 3 stones F14 F13, E13 G12, ladder doesn’t work and White captures more. Didn’t see the connect and die at all.

This white Kosumi is why the Memes started to appear of Sai From Hikaru no go being inside of AlphaGo 😂

Hi! I found your channel through Reddit and it's been so helpful so far. You explain things very thoroughly while still making it understandable for a beginner. I can't believe the amount of content you've put out in just a few months. Thank you so much for your hard work! 🎉

It's very useful to have this set of problems with their solution ! Thank you

0:00 my first idea is g19 to falsify the eye by pulling out ...F19, H19 J19, H18 dead ...H19, F19 B19, A18 E19, C19 dead. But I missed H18 as a response making the throw-in work by asking to increase the sacrifice. Honestly ...H19 didn't make any sense in the first place^^

Fun fact: The hane and clamp punishment was played by Honinbo Shusaku. I think the Edo period house probably arrived at the conclusion that the hane, clamp or cut if you have the ladder was correct. They got a lot of things right which were later messed up by the shin-fuseki.

Are there any Center problems in the Gokyo set?

the joseki sequence as shown at the end @17:20 almost never shows up in my games if i try the E17 nobi. usually instead of white 12 at C16 white plays G15 or C18. (trying to take a big center moyo or maximising the corner points. maybe you can talk about those moves in a followup video

Really clear and concise. Nice video

Thank you! I really like how you first give "good enough" variations. As a beginner, I don't want to spend my time memorizing lots of variations. I just need easy, simple responses for now. Even though they might not be the best AI moves, I think I can get more from my studies by focusing on other areas right now.

I have experience that lot of beginners also overplay pincer after 3-3 response , I think you also covered this in one beginner game review.

I was looking at D18

I’ve been saving this video until I encountered it in an actual game, and now I finally have a reason to go over this joseki. Also you said the peep should be avoided for beginners, at what level (let’s say OGS) should this be learned.

Thanks for showing these joseki and variations as always :)

The amount of gems dropped in this one go problem video 👏🏽

There is so much to learn from your videos. Thank you so much for creating them!

Nice short form content

Hell yeah

😊

I was following some of your beginner series stuff but life happened and I probably have to put Go/Baduk/Weiqi on the back burner for now. I with you continued success with your channel, I enjoy it and how it's all broken down; you really thought about how to teach it. I can't wait to come back and learn more (once life gets out of the way!)

Am I supposed to solve these just by visualizing? Would you consider this problem for lower dan players?

I literally did this for a year straight. 13:16 I couldn’t play many games for a few years, but at work, I spent almost every toilet break pondering over a go problem or two (from WBaduk) and when I got back into go properly, joined a go club again and played games, (my first games were weird ngl 😂) but my ability to fight was just better. If you do this, you will feel like Goku when he trained at 100x gravity and then arrived on Namek stronger than ever. Lastly. Big reason why I like this channel is it is the first place I’ve seen someone talking through the reasoning of many Go Problems, I really appreciate it because I don’t always know the common shapes or, I might have to name the shapes myself to try and remember. And I really want to get better at Go Problems. Major Appreciation for the channel ❤

I want to thank you for creating these videos. I like how you explain things for those of us who are not expert players! I find your channel very useful for improving my Go play.

You‘re a great teacher! I can‘t help but notice how all you care about is making the viewer learn, instead of the typical CZcamsr stuff

Thanks for the video as always. I like the naming convention which makes it easier to find the related videos in a playlist. I wonder if the title should mention the starting corner move 4-4?
