I noticed the wall direction thing in the opening back when I was looking at a lot of AI go a couple of years back. It seems like a lot of the time AI likes to pick a direction for its wall based on where it can provoke a fight to occur moreso than where it has space to build, which makes some sense along with the "overextension".
I just got back from Japan trip yesterday, visited Nihon Ki-In last week. On the second floor there is a big hall where you can play after paying fee and registering. It was a rainy day and not many players were available to play, but still managed to get some games. On the reception they speak nice English, but the players (which were mostly older guys) not really. They seemed really kind however. According to the article on Sensei's Library the area is open from Monday to Friday, 11am - 5pm, which seems to be correct, as around 5 pm they were closing the hall and small gift shop located also on 2F. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to check the other floors, hope you can do it :) Enjoy your visit!
Enjoy Japan Nick! My tip is that you should make sure you can do google lens translate on your phone; that way you can stop in at random izakayas to eat and drink without having to worry about them having an english menu
The basement of the Nihon kiin is pretty interesting, kinda like what was suggested by hikaru no go. There's some sort of museum down there. If you can swing by there, Ochanomizu is a couple stops away on the sobu line and has a lot of musical instrument shops.
Is it your first time to Toyko? I'm a German living in Japan (Nagoya). Been to Tokyo twice (sadly never to the Nihon Kiin there). I could recommend a very tasty fruit shop (Sembikiya). Go related I am only familiar with clubs here in and around Nagoya.
Hey Nick, just visited Japan in October and visited a couple go related places. The official nihon kiin building only didn't allow games on a certain day (think it was saturday? Cant remember). I got a lot of good games in that day at the other nihon kiin go center in ginza. It's on the 7th floor of an office building there lol Have fun man!!
@@peterkron3861Oh, no idea. I assumed it would be easy to get to, which may he wrong. That being said, I would go out of my way to go there if I were ever in Japan.

So glad to see you back.
This was a regular day ten minutes ago. Now it's a special day.
Always a nice surprise and a good morning seeing a Sibicky video!
Nice to see you back. Enjoy your time in Japan!
WE LOVE YOU NICK
The way Shibano in this game suddenly has center influence, is so impressive. Classic Shibano game plot twist.

Thanks for the video
Highly recommend getting a rail pass to visit some other regions than Tokyo! Kyoto was especially fun
Good to see you Nick!

Nick is back!! I knew it!
Enjoy the trip!
I actually got to play a game of Go on my first trip. Second trip, I climbed most of the way up Mount Fuji.
Weird audio buzzing is kinda annoying, but otherwise glad to have you upload, nice commentary.
Welcome back Nick :)

Welcome back
Nothing related to Go, but I would definitely recommend any TeamLab exposition.
Hi nick, hope everything is going good. I missed your teachings
I love Go. Wish I had a local club.
Missed these intros!
he is still younger than I am - I guess we just need to wait for him to get older :)
Enjoy Japan!
Don't forget to visit Kurokigoishiten.
That’s in Kyushu, no? Is there much to see there?
@@peterkron3861Oh, no idea. I assumed it would be easy to get to, which may he wrong. That being said, I would go out of my way to go there if I were ever in Japan.
You still making videos? Great
I like Go.
YAY!! 😄
need someone to carry your suitcase ?
wohooo :)
Nick with a Shibano win review... this is the best, literally would have been my request for a video.
Enjoy your trip, Nick!
