Huang Longshi game

Post by Krama »

I am currently watching this video review second time.

I am simply amazed by how these guys played.

In this video, the commentator is probably a professional player and he really explains well.

However I have a probably silly question.

After :white: B6 , a move that I have never seen before what if black simply plays :black: E10 ?

Would white go under black group and steal eye space or?

The commentator from these videos is known to most as countsheep. He's a Chinese amateur player. You can find some info about him here:

He was asked the question "where do you live and what is your level?", which he answered in his guestbook on http://www.gocommentary.com/webpage/guest-book.html

Recently, I found teaching is more interesting than playing, so I got a part-time job, now I’m teaching in a go school.

I did a lot of homework for my commentaries, and my commentaries also based on many pro players’ research achievements. So from the point of content, I can say the level of my commentaries is “absolutely professional”

Probably simply b7. Maybe Huang Longshi had some other clever plan, but b7 is certainly good enough for low dan amateur level.

P.S. Handy hint for youtube, you can put the time in the url like this:
