    Just discovered your channel and really enjoy these quick runthrough's of games: the analysis is very helpful as well. Just one beginner's question: At 8:14 in the video, why can't white take the two stones at P5 and P6? Is it because he would not have enough time after that to make a second eye for that group? Thank you so much for making these!

    • @contrabandgo
      @contrabandgo 2 дні тому

      He can take the two stones but that’s only one eye and you need 2 to live so you is trying to find a 2nd eye. And I’m glad you like my videos and find them helpful!

    • @contrabandgo
      @contrabandgo 21 день тому

      Not sure if this will make sense lol but I like to compare it to day trading and long term investing. Most Go players are like day traders they want the quick results and sometimes get lucky but sometimes lose a lot. The Go players that play solid and connected are like long term investors. By investing in strong groups they take way less risk and have a much higher upside.

    Another one is slowing down while playing. Especially when you get that feeling that you are at a crucial moment in the game. It is important to take your time and make sure you aren't just playing the first move that comes to mind.
