Haha calm down it’ll be okay!

@@TheOhioGoSchool I'm not like that any more, but I definitely was. Now I trade things left and right

Glad I’m not the only one 😂

Thankyou for watching! I am glad you enjoyed it :)

You're welcome, thankyou for watching!

That is an interesting thought. Why do you think that?

@@TheOhioGoSchool i know go isn’t chess but, there are not any 2 games with as many players as many books as many tournaments you should play in a chess tournament just to see how they do it in a chess tournament, they line the players up by rating and the top half plays the bottom half so, if there’s 20 players #1 would play #11 #2 would play #12 etc so, the top rated player plays the 11th rated player no handicap when you spot someone 6 stones you are cheating him out of a learning opportunity they don’t learn the opening a 1 stone handicap is a much better way to learn i don’t want to learn how to play a 6 stone handicap i want to learn how to play an even game go players are obsessed with the idea of fairness they want to give the weaker player a chance but, in the long run, it cheats them

let’s put it this way if you had a chance to play a pro 1 on 1 which would you prefer? a 6 stone handicap, where you have a chance to win or an even game, where you have a chance to learn?

@@johnvoelker4345 Well in that case obviously lesser handicap is better, but this is a tournament

@@TheOhioGoSchool all the more reason to not have a handicap

Thankyou for watching!

Thankyou for watching!

Yup that in this case could be possible too!

🐐

Thankyou for the comment! And glad you think so.

Thankyou for watching!

You're welcome! Glad you learned something from the video.

Thankyou for the comment! Good luck with playing Ayato and your apples…??

Yes! I was happy with how I played.

Haha thankyou, glad someone thinks so 😂

Quite the battle until the abrupt end!

Thankyou for putting the event together!

That’s what I hope for! Thankyou for watching!

It’s true!!

It’s a good shape to know!

I agree!!

You’re welcome, thanks for watching and thankyou for the fun game!

Glad you found it! Good job!

I’m glad to hear that! How has that been going?

@@TheOhioGoSchool It's been going pretty well. Lots of SDK players have been coming and I guess how many stones to give, which is sometimes a fun challenge.

@@ardargoz Sounds really fun!

Good game to review though! Thanks for watching.

Makes for a better game to review!

Hi :)

Then you’re counting is pretty accurate!

Got to watch out and be prepared for anything!

Thankyou for the comment. I hope you’re right about that!

Thankyou for the comment! And yes I figured it would be beneficial for others to hear it too.

Thankyou for the comment, and thankyou for watching!

Yes, but a lot to learn from it.

Exciting AND stressful! Thanks for watching!

Thankyou for watching!

They’re tricky, but the best preparation is to be aware of them!

Thanks for letting me know. Not sure what caused that, maybe a loose cable or something. I’ll troubleshoot a little more next time.

Thanks for the comments! So it depends on the player. When I ask to play a weaker player who needs handicap stones, I understand that they may not have the same counting skills as I, so I should not expect them to resign. Plus, there are a lot of endgame sequences, tesujis, and tactics that can only be learned in endgame, so even if a game is lopsided, there is still a lot to learn- so me personally, I don’t mind if a weaker player plays to the end. Along with what I’ve stated, it’s just a fun club game after all too!

Thanks for the comment! Thanks for watching too!

Thanks for the comment! And thanks for watching!
