Some of the best training videos / explanations I have ever seen on any subject. Superb explanations. Pity you haven't done more videos. I completely don't understand why you've had so few views. Thanks.
I heard that if white wants Sente on the keima approach with Keima response, he should do so immediately rather than doing the corner slide first. That way, black doesn't have the option to Tenuki first and a potential attack is less severe.
Yes, that's right. After the slide, it actually becomes more difficult for white to tenuki. Having just the single approach stone keeps white light and flexible - there are actually other options for white besides the slide, and losing just the one stone is less painful than losing the two. That's a big reason why ignoring the 3-3 is less common for white: if white wanted to tenuki, white wouldn't have played the slide.
Thank you. The term is spelled "hane" and refers to a move that wraps around an opponent's stone. So the circled move at 9:33 is a hane. The white circled stone at 9:55 is also a hane. The circled stone at 10:19 is a hane from the perspective of the O17 stone, but a cross-cut from the perspective of Q17. Because the meaning of the move is to cut black, it would be referred to as a cross-cut in most circumstances. A potential eye would either be referred to as "eye-space" to mean area inside a group that could be used to make one or more eyes, or possibly an "eye in gote" if the player is one move away from making an eye, but cannot do so without forfeiting the first move somewhere else. Sensei's Library is a wiki devoted to go, and they have articles about common go terms, like hane, cross-cut, eyespace, etc.
You have got to be by far the best go teacher on RUclips. You should do more videos!
One of the best go guides i've seen, very clear and enjoyable

very nice video again. Does hanni mean potential eye?
