I'm at 16ish minute and can't help but ask: doesn't White J14 actually cut that thin not-really-a-bamboo connection and secure quite a bit of territory for white?
I was also wondering if j14 straight cuts? looks like the vital point of the connection with white being strong on both sides. But it would still be a long won game for black.
Imo the low approach to the Chinese is fine... so long as after you get kicked and extend up, you follow up with a two space extension, attaching to the opponent's stone. Squeezing out that little bit of extra space helps you settle in your opponent's area. There's still some potential for fights, but I don't think there's anything greedy or unreasonably complicated about it, so it doesn't seem comparable to the "take all the corners and live in the middle" strategy.. I'm only a kyu but I think that's backed up by bots and pros. I think Bats is just being an old man lol 😝
Approaching low gives you less space to live with compared to other variations while not giving any less aji for your opponent to use to attack you. Better to give yourself more to work with instead of less.
@@dwyrin It seems like it's harder to get a base with the high approach tho, can you really get more room that way? Ofc you can always approach from the other side, but sometimes the corner is more important.
probably wouldn't make for a good video. an opponent that aggressive wouldn't be very instructive, never mind that fact that attaching as your second move as b is insane
@@dwyrin Since this ksusey just played a game against KoSueMe, they must realize they're _not_ facing a 1k player, and treat this as a free teaching game, so it makes sense to play it to the end looking for more teaching moments.
Man I've been subscribed for like two years and I still love your content. Thanks to you I have crushed my adversaries consistently
once again i just woke up having my coffee and a good game to watch! cheers batts!
why didnt you go to do corner enclosure at 14:56? in top right?

Game starts at 2:50
22:28 LOL. Your disappointment is hilarious XD
Any recommendations on what or where to "study" (besides playing games) for sequences @26:00? Really liked this video, man.
was there maybe a way for white to cut off blacks center group at around K13/J14?

@@nikipichler2607 anything around there looks working to me, k15 j14 etc

thankyou for the game!
Great explanation as always
Thanks Dwyrin for great stuff again. That killing bottom left looked so soo basic! Awesome!
Low approach is playable but continuations are difficult - high level - the play AFTER the approach is wrong. P4 should be at Q5. It's complicated...
Even when they play Q5 the fight is easier for black than white. Much easier to just not approach low.
why are you avoiding the player who instantly connects? Distaste or because it doesn't work for back to basics?
Basics, attachments are only basic when a weak group attaches to a strong group to find shape
But what if I don't know what shakes to be making?

i really want to know why you dont play with him! :)

Sick good royalty-free music at 20:14 Batts! Where did you get it?
Nvm found it. Just had to analyze the right layer ;)
Any chance you'd care to share your findings, if you still have it noted somewhere? I'm really digging it.
@@sonipitts yeah no problem. It's Layer by Jincheng Zhang
@@Rieper47 Thanks!
Lol that time the game was over in 5 minutes but the video is 30 minutes somehow...
Some people just dont give up, but thats fine! Shows how NOT to throw a game. And we can all use more reminders of that. At least, i know i can.
