White 8 at 20:02 is one of the coolest moves I’ve ever seen. Really love how you explained it too Michael! Thank you for making these high quality videos.
Congratulations to Ichiriki! That was an amazing fight in the center, especially given that they were both presumably under considerable time pressure. Remarkable that the fight ended with the game still close. Thank goodness (if you're an Ichiriki fan) that he could still afford to give up the Ing time penalty.
@michaelredmondsgotv A Korean Professional who reviewed this game said that Ichiriki Ryo forgot to press the button on his clock, so he didn't use the extra period intentionally or because he needed it. Out of curiosity, do you know of any players (past or present) who you think would have reminded their opponent in that situation, rather than allowing their clock to keep ticking down?
Maybe if the game wasn't so close it would be easier to, but I can understand using every advantage you can when the tension is so high. Although I think of myself as a good sportsman, I don't know if I would be able to remind my opponent in that situation 😉
I would say most pros in and above my age group would inform the opponent, as I have had that experience in some of my games. I think there was a point in time, maybe 20-30 years ago when top pros began to talk about how time was a resource and part of the competition if we are to play with time controls. After top pros spoke out, it became more acceptable to stay silent in such a situation.
The amount of reading done at the professional level is incredible, the amount of variations is staggering and I'm curious if professionals read variations themselves as shapes. I don't know how players could go through that many lines one move at a time. It makes me feel like the board isn't actually two dimensional. I'm really inspired to stay up and work on my own game.
Thx for this game. Would you show us your game against Yoda Norimoto in the Ryusei after it's played next week? Yoda is a truly interesting player, often creates great content even if he doesn't always succed.

I’m also happy for the Japanese go in general. This was an exciting game, well explained. Thank you.
Amazing game and, as always, a terrific analysis, Mr Redmond! That fight would have been very hard to grasp without your help, good sir! 🎉
Great commentary as usual - thank you!

This comment shows at the top and spoils the result for viewers like me ;(
I was so looking forward to this, thank you Mr. Redmond!

Thank you. Interesting fight in the center.

Really enjoying the ING cup
4:55 "a move that makes it difficult to lose quickly" interesting
judging from how the game's played, Im 100% betting on Ichiriki for taking this tournament.
Nice!
Where can I watch these games live?
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
