Life In 19x19

lee sedol settled for ko, but if W can't fight the ko, eternal life is the next best

the solution is

W B
B8 B12

once W runs out of ko threats:
D6 B6
B9 A6
C6 B8
D6 B6

etc

I assume B12 should be A12 and B9 should be A9 in above sequence. However, this "eternal life" can only exist assuming ...

Really appreciate that you keep us up to date about this wolfking! I hope European professionals will continue to show good results!

Sandbagging might actually be a good way to get back in shape, or learn some new things.
As a matter of fact, the owner of a Baduk school I frequent told me to play at 5 stones below my level and work my way back up to get back in shape. I did not ask for details, and was kind of confused at first ...

Hi Sundaay!

We're a small department, so we don't really offer any minors or things like that. However, I'm sure you can come here if you want to write a thesis about Baduk education. One of the professors actually has a background in education, and there's a visiting professor who focuses on ...

No, I would not recommend it. Unless, like me, you really want to do something with Baduk in the future.
If you want to go to Korea, I'd recommend enrolling in an actual Baduk school like BIBA.

I don't think there is anything that can be learned at a university here which cannot be learned in Europe, aside from certain cultural or linguistic aspects of select fields. Overmore, the universities and study environment in Europe is better than in Korea, in my opinion.

A difference is that a ...

Hey Kirby, nice to meet you too!
Studying in Korea is far different from studying in the Netherlands whatever your major is. I feel like the level overall is lower here, but the focus is more on hard work. Myongji is no different in this regard. However, I feel like the Baduk department is a bit ...

Hi everyone!

It's been about three years since I was active on this forum and just realized (again) that this great community still existed. I'm sure I've met many of you on tournaments before, but there are probably even more who I've never met. So allow me to (re)introduce myself quickly.

I can't find it. :/ Could you post a link?

Hey guys,

This week I'm giving a workshop about fighting techniques. I want to focus on attacking.
Now I don't only want to teach attacking techniques, but also I want to give to teach the students about thickness. I want them to learn when they need to attack and when to defend (i.e. build ...

This ko is better for black. If white takes the ko and black takes the two stones, white still has to connect. In the other ko, white connected, then black took 2 stones.

I found some possible solutions to your move, Kvasir. Let me know what I missed.

Thanks Joaz, that will make things easier. ^^

Hey everyone,

I have a question regarding the Chinese opening. See the sgf I attached. If anyone finds a good move for white, please let me know! ^^

Greets,
