This is a really good explanation not only of what you’re supposed to do but why other options are wrong. And it doesn’t get bogged down in technical terminology. You’re doing the world a great service, sir!
This lesson is the single most helpful lesson I’ve come across so far having started learning a few months ago. I will come back to this again and again. As well as learning how to chase and capture, I also now see the glaring mistakes I’ve been making in defence. It’s just so logical now that you’ve pointed this out. Thanks Michael.
I'd be interested in a more advanced version of this, e.g. with cross-cut joseki patterns where it's not obvious which way to chase (if you don't already know), and it can end in a corner ko.
More instructional video series from Mr Redmond would be great. One that could bridge the beginner and intermediate gap. His excellent videos so far are answering very basic questions I had for a long time, so it’s great to get such clarity in a relatively short video. I can tell these videos will give a solid foundation upon which to build. Michael could literally corner the UA-cam market in Go teaching for Westerners, because there’s no westerner better! Maybe one day we might see the Redmond Go Academy.
I'll work on it. Beginner videos are tough to make, because I have to explain things that I don't have to think about. Strong players tend to fast-forward through the variations that I am explaining.
@@MichaelRedmondsGoTV I agree. And it’s rare to see a systematic video approach to teaching the game in a logical sequential series. I imagine even a multimedia approach would be good. E.g., a videos series, then ‘Now read X and Y book!’
@@MichaelRedmondsGoTV maybe 361 videos would be a neat theme. One for every point on the board. (Susan Polgar created a Polgar Chess University, filmed once a week originally, but now available as an overall course of a few hundred 20 to 30 minute videos. I could imagine the same idea for Go.)
This video in particular was extremely helpful for me, it highlighted the specific mistakes I have been making in my beginners journey. I had been making lots of Wrong direction chase decisions, now that I am aware of why thats biting me on the stone, I should fare better in my forthcoming practice. Thank you.
This is probably not a useful reply 9 months later, but if I'm not mistaken, if Black played C8, White could capture the black stone at B6 before Black could take advantage.

A super goof tutorial for a beginner like myself.
Very helpful. I am a new player trying to get into Go.
I like the classic teaching style.

Much Thanks. 9x9 seems like a completely different game, and I am still learning terms.
This content is a treasure, it's so underrated! Thank you for putting time and effort, sir!

Crystal clear. Thank you!
This was so helpful, Thank you for making this series, it is still being watched 2 years later.
Mr. Redmont, Thank you! Yoy are a great teacher!!!
Thank you for doing this! Very well explained.
Much appreciated.
That video is a treasure ! Thanks from France !
Hi. It would be great if you could use this game as a whole to teach Japanese somehow.
6:26 why would black not play c8 here?
