You can think of the "entropy" property as the number of possible outcome states that can arise from the current game state. As a game progresses, the number of possible outcome states decreases with each move. This is analogous to how a hot object that radiates heat has less thermodynamic entropy after it has cooled. The only difference, is that in thermodynamics that heat energy has flowed into the environment, and when you look at the total entropy of the object and the environment, the total entropy will always increase. In Go, the aji ("heat") is removed as stones are placed on the board. "But where did the aji go?" is one of those deep philosophical questions I am not qualified to answer. BTW, I like 13x13 Go. Thanks for the lesson, Sibicky Sensei.
i'd love more videos about looking at common weakpoints in common formations. after really studying the shapes videos on this channel i managed to improve 2-3 kyu levels. now i'm at the point where i know a shape is weak but not really sure the ways it should be attacked.. :/ ...also...need to get to seatle :D
The theory about board temperature is pretty interesting. I have never thought of that. At 26:26 how about 6-8? Black has to block at 5-8, then white plays 7-9. If black continues to block at 5-9, then white can push in at 9-9. Black 8-8, white 9-8, black 9-7, white cuts at 8-7, black runs to 7-8, white ataris at 10-7, black 9-6, white ataris at 11-8, black runs, white chases to 11-9 then connects back at 11-7, killing all black in down right conner. If black ataris at 8-10 instead of blocking at 5-9, white connects at 5-9, black gets to eat 1 stones but then white just pulls back at 11-12 and alive.
When black plays 9,2 at 39:10 why does white not cut at 7,10? There’s no way those two black stones could survive and it would take more points away from black in the bottom? I wonder if I’m not seeing something? I’m only 25 kyu.
Fascinating. 13x13 is much faster, I feel like I should go back to it to learn fundamentals rapidly. But at the same time I feel like not playing 19x19 I'm loosing some spacial aweraness and ending up wasting my time haha.
why did black force the turn at 42:41 instead of just block for the point and avoid the whole ko shenanigans. And why play the 2, 5 move in the lower left instead of fixing with no ko threat at the 2,4 point?
If he let white cut at 5-8 then at the end of the game when white filled out all outside liberties he would had to play at 11-6 and fill in his own territory, losing 1 point. The game was really close so he didn't take the chance.
Entropy is the grade of molecular disorder of a system. Naturally a system evolves into a lower energy state and a high entropy state. To reduce the entropy you need to introduce energy in the system (to restore the molecular order). The temperature analogy was a better choice.
You are indeed wrong morphine. Things don't heat up gradually. What happens due to entropy is that the temperature becomes even. So if you have a hot coffee in contact with cool air in a room, the coffee will cool with time, and the air will become ever so slightly hotter. For something to heat up there needs to be something that cools down. This is called conservation of energy. Entropy increase won't break conservation of energy. What the 2nd law of thermodynamics tells you is, in a system with a hot and a cold thing, the hot thing will cool and the cold thing will heat up. This IS due to the fact that a system with even temperature can be considered, in a specific definition (called Shannon entropy), to be more "disordered". But the main thing you need to realize is that things don't heat up or cool down on their own. There needs to be a balance, as A's temperature drops, B's temperature rises. This has nothing to do with entropy and is a part of what we call conservation of energy (1st law of thermodynamics).
Side note...i'm a new patreon supporter and i found this video and the 9x9 championship you won video and i love them. I'm just starting out and i've kind of retreated back to the smaller boards. 19x19 was fun to start playing but i started playing that on CSGO and found out my fundamentals are absolute shit and i need the practice of these smaller faster games. So if you could do more of these it would be awesome.
Swimming in a pond is no lesser of swimming than swimming in a lake.
You need to do the crazy face at the END of the video!
Keep people waiting. Ramp up the anticipation.

The aji appears somewhere else in another go game as it decreases in another go system
The aji has flowed into the players' scores... wonderful
As all of the potential states play out the wave function collapses to the final observed state of 1 fixed state.

I m new in go, i am 26 n i love ur lectures.
Grüße from Germany :)))
It's six years later, how did your Go journey go so far?
Super exciting game, more than many 19x19 ones. Much harder to judge who is winning too !
Love your stuff man, I keep coming back to learn learn learn...
i came here because clickbait
iamstickymouse same. Lol

I feel like it also really helps his bad shape in the bottom right by solidifying two eyes...
And that’s why I’m 25k just figured it out
Fixes it indirectly? Incidentally perhaps?

Also, and I could be wrong, but I thought entropy was things gradually heating up due to the increased disorder and molecules moving around more.

25x25 next?
Am I the only person that cringes when he plays the stones off center of the intersection??
5x5 next
Man I thought black had that game but that was awesome. Very hectic game.
51:55 isn't black 3-1 seki ?
this video just makes me want a new iPad
I play go quest what’s your user name cause im so close to 1 Dan in 9by 9 and 13 by 13
33:56 black plays twice?
Black already played there at 32:24. Nick forgot to put it back in.
Who are the players playing this game? and what year is this?
You got me with this pic xD
smaller boards are great, both the pro games and the grudge matches against Andrew
13x13 teaches direction more. Very good analogies.
Wow vtubers look so real now
LMAO 😂😂😂
13x13 is no lesser to 19x19 than David is lesser to Goliath. Idk I tried, thank me later lol
Mentioned entropy......obligatory chemical engineer student who just finished thermodynamics 2...*RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE*

moar entropy content pl0x
7-2!!!! Please! It was like they were baiting you
I'd play 8-10, but I'm bad.
Something something anthropy.
No Nick, entropy heats things up. Hence "the heat death of the universe"
VERY RUDE PEOPLE. TALKING WHILE NICK IS HELPING us.
clickbait lol
