So, I may have been a bit more snarky in this video... because I was stream and didn't originally intend to upload this video >< Hope you learn from it regardless!
Excellent lesson. This sort of insanity is something I always struggle with. I think I've had a bit of a break through in mentality with this demonstration, let's see if I can implement it ;D
25:27 - major takeaway, you don't have to respond to the reducing move; as a low dan I usually think either/or play under/over. But you can just play away.
This was a great lesson. To me, the most valuable part of it was not what you did, but how you did it. After following you for more than year, I believe I have managed to get a decent grasp on what to do strategically. Where I often fail is tactically. For example, why was e14 the best response to his first poke? You said "shape it". What makes that a good shape in that position? Why not e15? or c11? or h15? Why was m9 the best dividing move later on? I would have played m8, not daring to go farther. I often get in trouble with my separating groups, which end up themselves separated. Anyway, thanks again for all the great material you post.
dwyrin there is something i dont get - we say that (1)'a weak group is worth infinity points' and that (2)'opponent cant save 2 weak groups at once' but we also say - (3)'run with a partner' so dont the 2 first proverbs contradict the 3rd proverb?
The partner implies your opponent has a weak group too. 1 and 1. not that you have 2 and you're running both. If you have a weak group and your opponent does not and is attacking you, you're worth infinity points if he can find a way to milk the board dry of them
Hi Dwyrin! Quick question. I am currently 12k+ in Pandanet, arriving to 11k shortly! I´ve only have 1,5h ish of time a day for activ playing/studing, besides the meals time that I usually spend with your videos ; ) How would you recommend that I spend this 1,5h??? Because, after your advices in the Basic series, I sort of left tsumego, and follow the idea of play games only; If I win I keep playing, If I lose, I spend a little time to study (38 Basic Joseki and Tesuji of James Davies). Any tips?? Thanks in advance!
Dwyrin, please, please. Could you upload your videos with higher volume? Unfortunately I cannot hear you in medium-low noisy environments unless I use headphones (which currently I do not have) ):

All worth it for the Abracadabra
I think some beginners get accustomed to invading on the 3-3 point playing high handicap games as white. Just a theory.

"We've got liberties coming out our eyes" I see what you did there.
I needed an answer to this exact problem you describe at start
Thank God, I was waiting for this lecture since forever

batts, when should you consider keima connect (e.g. n5) instead of hane response to 3-3?
if youre fighting for sente would be a good one. if he responds you can play elsewhere
Wow, I totally meant n3 but I think you figured that out -- thanks for the answer!
where should white have played instead of the tengen move?
I honestly have no idea because my brain starts hurting when i try and figure out the right move for this very bad style of play
Dwyrin, please, please. Could you upload your videos with higher volume? Unfortunately I cannot hear you in medium-low noisy environments unless I use headphones (which currently I do not have) ):
What's that game on the preview background?
just a random game i played
at the end if you play 4, n14 is gg
Awesome 😂😂 😂😂 😂
1440, surely it is what you wanted to play, it's time to threaten to kill 'em, then make shape ^^
imagine you wouldn`t`ve been a high dan in counting. You could`ve lost
Sandbagger :)
Man, I HATE players like this. The game becomes no fun at all.
