Life In 19x19

Recent youtube video by Cho Hyeyeon 9p (Aug 20, 2021): https://youtu.be/qozyiQiVmt0?t=7246

She doesn't go into detail, but she shows the ko/reduction variation and says "the chinese opening is not that popular because of this attachment"

I was doing some studying since I was writing things for Sensei's library, but I suspect that AI sometimes views the micro-chinese more favorably in part because it also likes the two-space low pincer (in response to the high approach). In the board position that kvasir showed, White also has a ...

I wrote this page: 4-4 Point Traditional Slide Joseki, 2-8 Invasion

I have mixed feelings about how AI joseki should be presented. I agree with others that it's not very helpful to present an AI score of a joseki played out on an empty board (or even an invented arbitrary board position), and it ...

Another page updated - The first move of the 4-4 slide joseki - 4-4 Point Low Approach Low Extension, Slide

I think my focus for now is on DDK joseki.

I bumped all of the old forum-style discussion onto a "Discussion" section of the page (or moved it to the most relevant subpage where the move is ...

I think there's a difference between

If both sides keep trying to win the game, Black will be ahead by two points at the end, and
If White is gifted two points, then both sides keep trying to win the game, it will end in a tie, because play may be different in the two cases. This is probably ...

I removed the scores for now, since it seems like a controversial subject, and it's unclear how helpful it really is to show them! o7

Ah, also I finished updating/writing this page: 4-4 point low approach low extension, contact

This was mostly original research looking through waltheri and trying to guess why professionals played one variation versus another, so I would appreciate feedback and corrections.

I like win rate in ...

Great to see a thread on this!

I've mainly been working on the people side of things:

- adding new pros
- updating new pros' ranks and when they achieved them
- adding / replacing profile pics
- adding kanji / hanzi to names
- archiving links
- adding new tournaments
- adding the results of new ...

Ah, also if there are particular pages / topics that people would like to be modernized first, please speak up -- and we can probably find ways to work on those articles.

Awesome!! Feel free to go ahead and just start making changes!

Hiyo~ Recently I started making fairly substantial edits to Sensei's Library pages, in large because many of them are extremely outdated (since before the AI era), and our thinking about many joseki and other positions has evolved substantially.

Since I am only 4k (OGS) and never really studied Go ...
