DDK representation in the media is so important.

[SouthfieldRunner]

Learned SO MUCH in this one video: how to count quickly, OK to ignore a one stone loss if you’re gaining big territory elsewhere, the power of not trying to kill, connecting solidly to protect cutting points... you are an amazing teacher. I observe now that the Go tactics apps I have downloaded all focus on killing groups, so I mimicked that in my games much to my detriment. I’m having far better results with this approach!

[BinarySecond]

I'm really liking the +1 modifiers. Gives a less abstract level to getting moves to do two or more things at once.

[Piwh]

This is so great, thank you very much. And this is exactly what I've been trying to improve on since last week (I'm 12k-ish) : try to have games where your shape is solid and none of your groups die, don't try to kill anything ; and the hardest part : respond when needed, and ignore and take big points when it is not.
Seeing games that actually look like mine and being able to see which moves do you ignore or not is very useful.

"Best move for black....was not that one" lmaoooo. thank you for the video! Very helpful

[JohnLewis-old]

I keep accidentally getting to 14k. Scared I might show up in one of your videos. (lol). Thanks for the DDK love. Reminding me to keep things simple and go for the large points. #DDK4LIFE

[jakekim]

i never played with American player and I'm looking forward to going to us go congrees

[boredwarlock]

JOY! Thanks for the DDK dwyrin! I learned a lot

[BinarySecond]

Where is this guy when I'm queuing for games 😭

[MichaelLarson]

This is awesome. It helped me so much. Please do more.

[apventer]

I just wish when I play a "large" move, that it really is large. I have lost quite a number of games trying to play big moves and then either die, or not gain enough territory :(


B.T.W. are you using a green screen for your recordings?

[jamestandy]

17:05 I'm not sure I would have seen the S8 tesuji as a 5k, but it's a cool one now that you point it out. On that note, I know there are a lot of books and other resources out there for improving endgame, but I'm curious if you have any favorites or ones that you've found helpful for SDK level?

[marshacd]

Glugg, glugg, slurp, slurp, swallow, swallow. What brand tea is that?

[davepassaro]

Name of the wind vs terry pratchett wee free men, epic battle

[krizdenerf]

Dont worry ddk, i will coach you to sdk 😎

[helxis]

If you're going to record these ahead of time, you might consider a new intro. ;p

[richielau]

any tips to improve when starting out?

[PositivityOnlyGym]

That first game I get but that second game looks like you lost to me

[Yotanido]

Definitely don't do the AI stuff if you don't know what you're doing. Played a 13k who was really into AI stuff the other day. Was up by 40 points after 50 moves. AI gave me a 99.9% chance to win, too.

[wonziba]

thanks for thinking of us ddks. maybe take more time in the reviews to explain simple tricks that you have not used in the game to win by an even larger margin...
