9 stone handicaps games are very stressful. The onus is on the opposition, you in this case, to win in an elegant way and provide teaching moments. I think you executed this wonderfully. Edit: I'd like to see this game play out fully.
Thank you very much. Focusing on making plans for beginners tutorials is to me a good angle that i see not often. So i am very interested in this kind of basic strategy series. I find this one excellent. Starting from a handicap game is a good idea. Thank you
Great video and explanations. Looking forward to the continuation of the game. I also appreciate the normal background. I haven't been a fan of the "green screen" effect
I haven't watched the video yet but thank you for making content for beginners. So much of the content I see for Go revolves around reviewing pro games and stuff like that, which is fine, but it's so far and away from what I can understand as a DDK.
Go has had a very profound (and tangible) impact on my life in a very short amount of time. Your thoughtfulness, temperance and general richness of character have represented the game well and have made it easier to progress as a player. Many teachers often forget their emotions will influence learners more than their words. Please accept my appreciation (and faith that your moves are reasonably good XD)
I have a question about coordinates. In chess its very important to understand what the name of the square a piece is on for conceptualization. In Go, I see quite a number of Dan players simply forgoing any kind of display altogether, which would seem to suggest the names of points is not important, although 4x4, 3x3, 5x3 will be used instead ubiquitously. Given the lack of directional force (pawns moving specific directions), it follows, and the moves in each corner are completely transposable. How should a beginner think about coordinates? My current intuition is to conceptualize it as 4 corners that weigh on one another. Thank you.@@MichaelRedmondsGoTV
Learning positional ideas, actual play, and tactical abilities such as Tsumego or Tesuji are three types of study that will benefit you. I believe that you gain most when you focus on the parts that you enjoy most, so that's my answer to your question. If you are a beginner this playlist is a good place to start: ua-cam.com/play/PLW5_cMTm0wvamCNX7qNoUqbXxeHt9n67i.html My Go Puzzles are intermediate to advanced but are also positions that you should be seeing in your games, so just watching can help you get a feel for the important shapes. ua-cam.com/play/PLW5_cMTm0wvZuX9_CEAc1JqDUHnc959OS.html
Can anyone please tell me what software Michael uses in his videos to set up positions, add or delete stones, make notes, etc... I can't seem to find such software. I would greatly appreciate it.
@MichaelRedmondsGoTV Mr. Redmond i actually have a Question about .." the Lining" of the Go Board itself... a friend of mine explained it a bit to me what each line resembles ( fighting,influence,territory etc.) But since 13x13 and 19x19 are bigger and different it would be nice to know what Line resembles on those 2 Boards ...the thing about the 9x9 is that everything is literally fighting... i think this is also the best Way to understand 9x9.

I love this aspect about Go. I wish we had something similar in chess.
I'm excited to get my first Go board this Christmas!
Exciting! What kind did you get? And what kind of stones?

Thank you so much. This exactly addresses the feeling of being overwhelmed when new to the 19x19 board. Very helpful and didactically strong video.
Wonderfully explained. Thanks Michael
Love to see you making more beginner content

Thank you for this new video! It is always good to go back to basics sometimes! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
This was a fun and informative video, you're very good at explaining go concepts.
As always great tips and very easy to understand commentary for us beginner players. How did the game ended?
All the best to you mr. Redmond!
This is such a great video! It reinforced the importance of influence :)
Also, sticking to an idea is such an important concept. I will apply it to my games immediately :)
🙇Thank you very much!
Is it better to understand this movements or do Tsumegos as much as I can?
Thank you!
