I appreciate the little notes on the right that explain the reasoning. I'm still deep in Kyu territory so those extra notes help explain the "simpler" concepts.

Greetings Mr. D... what are the levels (kgs ranks e.g.) of the current 4 members of the group classes? Thank you.

[zengokigyh]

Considering the middle's tricky and spacey, defending perfectly is harder than attacking, so living in the middle seems legit to me actually.

40:47 doesn’t q8 kill the black group outright?

[seventus]

Once black has played C15 and White D15, he must go into the corner at C16 and live and live with ye olde hane connect thingie, abandoning the one outside stone to play lightly. He completely crippled himself from the beginning, so you didn't even have to try with the influence lol.

Thx dwyguy.⚫⚪⚫⚪ but no more Mr nice guy! Exploit all the weaknesses!!

[zimmicks]

To be fair, when counting groups of stones for purposes of "multiple groups bad" then you can't really count those first 3 - they are legit corner groups taking legit territory in the beginning of the game. Extremely common early strat to take 2-3 "reasonable" corners early (4 is overplaying obviously). However all of the groups after those were indeed too many.

It amazes me how strogly you believe that anyone can be a dan player or maybe even high dan player, while for many people raching even shodan level seems to be missle impossible.

And again...dwyrin gets cocky, talking some smack...and the other player saves his groups. Still loses but why not just finish the game.
I just watch these now to see dwyrin screw the pooch and then have to get serious and finish it.
