checked it the hard way on sabaki, it works for black indeed: white blocking E5 => black D8 atari on white, or white blocking D8 => black E5 3 liberties, game over
Goes to show even high Dans are fallible. Sort of aptly demonstrates the power of basics though. Don't play the fancy move and play strong and secure and still win massively. Fancy moves are not always necessary
I feel like I have to clarify something since you always mention the "gg" when you're on KGS. It may be "rude" on other servers for whatever reason (probably gamers' influence) but on KGS it simply means "have a good game" or "I wish you a good game" without any malicious thoughts. It has been like this since the very beginning (I've been playing on KGS since 2004) so it's a common curtesy and it is in fact kinda rude to not say it back. It's a "when in Rome" situation. I understand that you're a gamer and so am I... I wouldn't say it in a whatever-shooter-match because there it's understood as "good game - you've played well!".
Yeah, I've only ever known gg as "good game," in good spirit, and it's only in the past couple of years that I've heard it as "git gud" in poor spirit. I dunno, I still say gg, and usually give other context/congrats that I enjoyed the game.
At 7:07 the ladder does still not run for black, despite the additional black stones
This is why I always actually read ladders. I lost count of times I won the game because of something like this.
Read your ladders, kids.

@@gholler1 D8 is also self atari. White captures. The ladder works for white.
@@gholler1 read harder ;-)
1:16 'der Arme' slipped out of my mouth
Am I missing something? It looks like the ladder in question at 7:26 still works for white?
hrm you should make a mascot for each kyu level, like little characters or something for your thumbnail. 😅
I lost badly to planet last week.
Looking at this I think that the person knew who are they playing and was scared of you.
AI analysis makes it a bit hard to follow dwyrin, huge fan over here, wish you all the best
classic dwyrin, while trying to sound cool doesn't read at all a ladder in the "basics" series and misreads it even after the game.
