Thank you so much for this video!!! Most of my losses come from letting my opponent gain a lot of influence, and then never knowing how to invade their Moyo. Really appreciate it.
One thing to keep in mind, when doing basics, is that some DDK are coming into the game video without having watch previous videos in the series. Repeatedly I send people links to this series who are asking about "basics" and I have had feedback saying they don't understand it. The problem? Go jargon. In this video you mention, just as an example, "aji", but you don't take a moment to explain what aji is for those newcomers who may not be familiar with the term. Yes, you have a previous video that explains aji, no a newcomer won't have seen that video and you've just lost them. My suggestion, then, is that when you use a Go specific jargon term in your video, that you have a reflexive habit of spilling out a half second explanation of what it means. See time 3:22 in this video for an example where this might throw off a new DDK who is watching. Consider something like "Where is that aji, or 'latent potential', where is that beautiful aji." Thanks for the videos. I love them and I always send people to watch.
Excellent vid as ever. Looking forward for the new series. Reminds me of one of my favorite chess books “How NOT to play chess” by Znosko-Borovsky back in the days before I learned about Go....
24:54 is there a particular reason for using the modified version of the table shape rather than the standard table shape? Is it a subtle difference particular to this position, or is it just generally a lighter shape that works well in these situations?
Hello friend :) Nice video :) The "what not to do" sounds like a great idea. I suggested this before: could you play Leela (not Zero.. unless you think you can do it), with 4 or 5 stones handicap, with you as black? Comment on how it invades you and how to defend against it in a relatively basic way. This could be part of the "how to handle unreasonable invasions".. or some invasions might be reasonable, and it would be good to know how to handle those too.
Might only be when watching on a phone, but it’s nigh on impossible to see when you hover your pointer over an area to illustrate a point. Just a small pointer. Still loving everything you do!

hi dwyrin, do you have a video explaining how to do a proper follow up to the caps, shoulder hits and so on if the opponent ignore?
You are a gem. Thank you. I hope you do a video on all the things you said you wished to do during the post-lecture “ramble”
This is the most educative lesson that I have seen so far. Awesome, thanks
Great video! :) Definitely support a "what not to do" series. :)
Made dinner. Checked the calender. See it's friday. Aww ye. Dinnertime basics.
this video was excellent, thank you! I learned a lot from this one. I hope I'll be able to apply these ideas in my games.
Make video about how to handle (reasonable) invasions too? (if you haven't already)
Great teaching and great material. I shall train on your examples and words
Dan-level basics, the higher the better. Unleash your inner legend88!
Showing what not to do will be really useful to me

Thats something to keep in mind. I wont implement it for all my basics videos, but i will for my ddk vids from now on i think

Hey just watched this video and was wondering if you ever made the follow up video you mentioned in this one?
I liked this alot.
Would J4 also work instead of the cap at 39:20?
24:54 is there a particular reason for using the modified version of the table shape rather than the standard table shape? Is it a subtle difference particular to this position, or is it just generally a lighter shape that works well in these situations?
greedy. regular table is probably ok too

was there ever a how to invade part 3?
first, that give's me sente?
If you're the first stone played your opponent has sente
Hmmm (thinking ) yes
OGS Dans are a little stronger than the KGS Dans in my experience. I think OGS is heavily sandbagged.
Bro Jaxs What does mean sandbagged in this contexte ?
people playing bellow their level. example: A 1dan says they are a 5kyu.
