4:28 Would (11, 4)(bottom side) be a good shoulder hit? White has stones on the left and might think of connecting to the right side while potentially building up a (strong) wall towards the middle? I am currently in my first week of playing Go (바둑) and so far only played 9x9. These explanation videos with examples help a lot. I am starting to win a few games. I am not ready and comfortable to switch to 19x19 yet but my intuition and pre move thinking are improving. (I am 21kyu on (a) the third party app of ogs, once I start on 19x19 that will go down a bit, but feeling pretty good.)
This move is possible. However a shoulder hit works best when your opponent has a large area that you want to reduce. In that example Black only has a small territory there.

Great video, thank you!
😊
@@GoMagic The quality of the video convinced me to sign up for gold. I'm curious to see if this works for me in a few months.
An important question is "does my invasion create any weak groups for my opponent". I would consider that question first.
That's a big one, you're right! But this question is covered in one of the other lessons from the invasions course.
ty for the lesson!

What about san-san under hoshi during the fuseki? A popular AI inspired move that violates the invading too early paradigm. Go is hard. 🙃
Well, it's not really an invasion, because hoshi does not secure a corner. So it's a standard joseki, a matter of trading territory for influence.
@@romanmykhaylov5138 ok. I understand
You're right, san-san invasions are very common and we already covered them in this video

@@GoMagic thx! Going there now
Great point about invasions in general. I would point out the current war in Ukraine as an example too.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Yes, we could have, but then again, there were a lot of risky or failed invasions in history.
Russia Ukraine war is still in going, let's see if Ukraine is able to escape or create two eyes in Kremlin.
is there a good Go software you can play with?
