I do enjoy your general zen attitude in the video and of course the anecdotes. When you said how we may often complicate things ourselves, I've heard a piece of friendly advice for life, not just go. Thanks for this morning video, it starts well my day. ^_^
I'm a 13k. I always enjoy watching your videos, but your basic-basics is what I subscribed to your channel for and I love when you play like this. Thank you so much. :) (I got to 15k about a year ago, but unfortunately I enjoy watching go much more than I enjoy playing myself...) I agree that your 9k or 8k games are definitely not too "high level" for me.
Thank you for showing the DDK love. I missed it. It makes me play better every time you do one. You remind me "how" to think and what's "big". I'm probably DDK for life, but you're channel is a major reason I can play at high level DDK and almost SDK levels, which is all I aspire to. Great tutorials and explanations this video. You've gotten a lot better at explaining the basic concepts and avoid too much Go jargon terms without explanation. Kudos!
the key is tsumego and reviewing your games if you do a little everyday you'll start to outread your opponents , when i went from 11k to 8k i didn't knew why i was ranking up , it was something like growing up xd
Two questions: 1) 42:52 - how to realize that two point jump for come out is a good idea? I suppose, if the opponent will cut Black, then Black just will trying to live locally? 2) 49:02 - what if Whites cut at N6?
As DDK, I think that killing the group - upper right - in the second game was basic. Good to see it played out. I've won a few recent games due to similar situations. Getting better at that due to the Basics series - both DDK and dans. thx
I really like these proper Basics videos and I would be interested to see at what point (rank) this strategy breaks. Because I feel that sometimes you loosen your restrictions on what is and what is not allowed in response to how your opponent is playing or what rank they are (if they are stronger then you allow yourself some less basic-y tactics). So rather than upping your game to ensure that you do not lose (which I feel sometimes happens!), I would prefer to see you stick to really tight and consistent rules to see at what rank they start to fail. Hope this makes sense and thanks for all the great content!
Of course don't let him live when he doesn't respond to that forcing move! Hopefully he'll learn from it and become better. It's not like you're doing anything fancy or very aggressive.
@@dwyrin I don't dispute that at all. It's more that it does make for profoundly un-enjoyable game and either that is something specific to my level or general tygemisation of internet go but lately I seem to encounter this across servers and it is getting sort of hard to find genuinely enjoyable game.

If you thought my camera was out of sync, its cause it was! Accidentally recorded in 60fps but the camera is in 30fps. interesting effect?
No worries man; didn't notice it. Content was good, and that's what matters. :-)

I begin to have trouble at 3d playing this kind o basics.
That was the simplest kill I've ever seen
2nd game, group at the bottom is surrounded and doesn't have clear eyespace. Isn't that a bit of a gamble there?
That's what I was thinking :) He kinda shows it in the review.
Of course don't let him live when he doesn't respond to that forcing move! Hopefully he'll learn from it and become better. It's not like you're doing anything fancy or very aggressive.
Agreed.
M3 is the kind of ugly bullshit even SDK go seems to be rife with these days and is honestly making me consider to stop playing alltogether.
Just need to relax. M3 wasn't taking any new points, really. So just stay connected and stay strong and look for sente, if you can. It works out
