Look at Yellow Mountain Imports. I've got the 0.8" reversible board and (importantly!!) the really nice double sided Yunzi stones with bowls. Not a cheap set, but a beautiful one! The real Yunzi stones are soooo much nicer than plastic melamine!
At 1:14 you talk about the ponnuki. I get your point about its value. But in this case, why can't B simply respond here with an atari above...forcing W to fill (in gote) or allowing B to take and then filling its after W moves elsewhere? If B takes, the ponnuki is destroyed. If W fills, is the ponnuki still as powerful? Kinda "thick", isn't it??
good thinking, the point is that white will never respond to the Atari, and the white stones are still quite strong, so in the beginning white played an invasion in a territory where they are weaker, and got out with amazing and light shape, while black got hardly any points, not to mention white has sente. if you think about it even after the Atari it's impossible to attack white, since it's thick and thus will help at other parts of the board I hope it's understandable, if not feel free to ask .D
If you atari and take, you spend two moves locally while white get two moves for free. The remaining white stone is still not dead. Atari and taking will give white more than 30 free points for sure.
It might surprise you to hear that I’ve seen Dan and professional players say the same or similar things after years invested and thousands of matches under their belt. This game has a seemingly infinite skill ceiling, the human mind is never going to solve Go, and that’s part of the beauty of it.
Absolutely love the video I’ve struggled with this exact invasion in my own games, great edit and lovely channel
Thanks!
This comes from an entire video course on invasions by the way.
gomagic.org/courses/basic-invasions/
This one.
Bro's aura skyrocketed with that thumbnail 😂
awesome slider!! Amazing Channel!! Thank you!
thanks for the vid. I've had both white stones die in situations similar to 5:18 so many times, this is very helpful!
Thank you!
Good luck in your Go journey
I would really appreciate a course explaining how the ponuki translates to so many points
A course would be too much but we might think about making a lesson about it. Thanks for the suggestion =)
😂 What a great photo! "I'm Bond, Vadim Bond" 😂
>:)
Would love to see a video about the value of a ponnuki. I've never quite understood it.
Will do in the future!
Didn't watch the video yet, but had a good laugh with the thumbnail and the intro.
Helps that you look like "Nathan 4 you"'s brother.
❤❤❤❤
Love go and your Channel
Thank you!
Hi, what board and pieces do you use in your videos? Looking for a set, but not sure what to get :)

@@jeffb1886Ended up buying from a german site, as the shipping was good for me :)
What we are usingis very hard to put together. Bowls from NihonKiin, stones from Korea, board from China

Hello Mr. Morningstar. How did you end up on the cover image?
Go Magic is tapping into personal archives...

Sorry, but you cut the commentary in middle of explanation, and that is not nice.
Nah, you got 9m for free, can't complain
The full versions of any lesson are available on gomagic.org
Yeah, but if you go to his website, you can either have your data harvested or have no account, no in between.
i think its time.
time for me to face facts.
i am not smart enough to play this game.
Nah, just keep playing! Depth and complexity just means the game will still be interesting a year from now
I always thought the same, but that didn't stop me ⚫️⚪️. Can try to help if u like.

Cheer up! Go is not about being smart, it's about learning the right techniques.
