I don’t know, The first ponuki that arised in the first example 1:31 , of course it is a ponuki but it is pincert from two groups and in the next move of black, black defends its side territory and even ataris the ponuki so if white does not immediately respond its kind of gone anyway. Why is it considered so strong even in a position like that?
So, in the first example, instead of attaching, what would be a better mov, given that the white stone is already being squeezed by a stone on either side?
Since it’s a handicap game and black has more stones than white in every other corner, it would be good for black to Tenuki and pincer any other white stone. My teacher taught me that if you feel like you cannot find a good response locally and your stones are not threatened immediately, you just play no moves locally and find somewhere else to play.
I would jump out one space with my own stone to start building up a wall towards the bottom side of the board, because white is weaker there and you can more easily create a large moyo. If white also jumps out, you can peep at the top, forcing white to become heavy. You can then run the group around the board for free moves since it doesn't have a base yet. If white builds a base instead of running out, you can seal in the group. A counter invasion may also yield interesting results, since white is not yet solid anywhere on the board. That's just my advice as a 17 kyu though ;)
Ponnuki provides strong influence and potential for future development. Whether you defend it depends on the situation-if the surrounding area is important, defending might be worth it. But in most cases you can let it go and focus on bigger points.
I’m still only double digit kyu, but I find these lessons give me a lot of insight deeper into the game! Also, maybe most would prefer the English dub, however, I’d prefer the original language with subtitles, if possible. Either way thanks for the educational content!
Nice one as always, I just would have liked to see some negative examples of the proverb as well, so where the attachment on a weak stone is actually good. Other then that, brilliant!
Great content! But talking over the original voice makes it very hard to follow for non native english speakers. I'd prefer the russian voice be fully removed.
Fantastic lesson. You guys should be getting way more views. Brilliant 👏
Thank you kindly!
The new channel is awesome!! Thanks from France
Salut!

This is a big question. Answering it requires a lot of examples. You can just "believe" this for now but one day we'll make a video about this.
Great video! Thanks for it!
Glad you liked it! :)

Good stuff!
Thank you! Come back for more 😉
1:22 - i don't get it. Is that ponuki that powerful since one of its stones is already in atari? Do we defend it?.

Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate your feedback about the language preference. 👍
that last example was wonderfully strange. so weird to see an ornate-looking symmetrical shape like that
Thanks for this quite interesting video !
Now go and play some attachments =)

I think those are generally bad. Of course it doesn't mean that it's impossible to find a game where a strong player used it and still won... =)
Ok, I'm 13k and I'm here because I think I now need to be better in invading to progress. And I think Alexander's videos are very helpful for that.
That’s a great focus for improving at 13k!
А где гобан и камни такие классные можно купить?
Только на маркетплейсах, увы. Наша была привезена из Китая.
@@GoMagic спасибо! Будем искать. Такую же, но с перламутровыми пуговицами)
