Dwyrin thank you so much for more ddk games! I've gained 5 stones in the last 2 months watching your basics series.

Thank you dwyrin for the awesome content! As a ddk i really appreciate your effort to bring out some lower ranked games in the basic series:)

If you ever need a ddk opponent for these videos I'm 12 kyu on OGS and 11 kyu on KGS. Plus I have no problem getting humiliated lol and it would be great learning experience

Thanks you from your (only?) #DDK4LIFE fan. There was some stuff here that I would still have fallen for, in the second game. The disconnect at N12, for example, is just a blind spot for the DDK level player (who assumes they are connected and even has an eye!) Yeah, I know, we don't auto read the liberty counts and we often aren't aware we don't have the space for a second eye.


Sometimes I wonder what the game would be like if you couldn't capture a group with one eye. I'm sure there's a variant out there where you can't place a stone in a space without liberties (even if they would have them after a capture.)


Anyway, I was curious what you saw in the upper left corner of the first game. I couldn't read it and I've tried to understand. Did that player have a flash of brilliance and the rest of the game played like a normal DDK, or did they just luck into something. I find often I'm winning DDK games because I happen to notice a net or cutting off a group that can't make eyes and my opponent doesn't see it for 5 more moves.


Sadly, I don't want to become SDK4LIFE... but I'm learning too much. Maybe I'll play drunk. XD

As a DDK I see a lot of these kind of players on OGS. They go after everything you have, cut you wherever possible. Turns out, they are better at tesuji so whenever you make a mistake somewhere (which you will because you are a DDK, and these attacks can take a while) they will punish you because they know tesuji and you don’t, because you’re DDK.

Love the basic series. Have you ever thought about doing some basic series on handicap games notice you never really touch base on those type of games be nice change of pace at least.

When you drew that giant sector line surrounding the center...that was really wishful thinking even though this is supposed to be a 13k game. Black simply has way too many ways to get to the center and disrupt any large potential White may try to get.

I greatly appreciate you saying things like "These stones don't matter, I'm taking a big move." I'm still at DDK, and there's a tendency to get attached to every single stone. I've made improvements due to being able to recognize when to sacrifice a group!

9:32 can black kill white with B18 (tombstone shape)?
oh nvm my bad i didnt read correctly

[E.C.GoMusicandMore]

42:56 stop hitting him! he's already dead :'(

[sebastianuhl]

Hi Dwyrin. Why didn't you net the stone in the first game played on K15 with L14 net. Even with sequence L15, M15, L16, M16, L17, L18, M17, 18, N17, N16 white can never get more then 2 liberties, right? Second game you said ladder and net is basic. so no excuse :P

[dbrichardson]

At what point was White's H10 group in hopeless peril?

[adamreifsneider]

Do you convert wbaduk files to review them? If so, what do you use? None of the NGF converters suggested on Sensei's Library work.

It’s Friday here then I guess it’s available 😎
