Very sage advice. 'Keep an open mind' is more about staying flexible and adapting to the flow and ever changing landscape of each game. Many use logic that is back to front - they try to find places to slot in the things they know. 'Knowledge-centric' play. Especially prevalent in blitz games. What is needed mostly is to observe the pecularities and configuration of the actual board layout as it unfolds to find out what suits it best. Board-centric play.

I think reviewing with AI definitely help you understand larger mistakes in an understandable way. Of course a teacher is better, but tools are free and always available. There are definitely right and wrong ways to use AI at different levels though.

Thanks Ryan , great advice for sure :> I recently started watching the Hikaru No Go and they are so awesome. I would advise anyone just starting out in Go to not even bother learning anything at all. Instead watch Hikaru No Go and by the time you are done you will not only know how to play Go , you'll know enough to enjoy playing it as well :> It is really motivating too, I busted out one of my Go books and started doing some Tetsuji problems too ! peace

I watched it as I was learning, I knew more etiquette but I couldn’t play. I’m still terrible but the biggest benefit to me is the way the lessons learned in the game apply to life in general... that I did learn from Hikaru and Sai

Hey there Li Sensei, I really appreciate your hard work! And I enjoyed the memes! I haven't seen any other before even on Reddit lol. Keep up the videos and I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving too! P.S. In the future, maybe putting bookmarks on the video for sections in the video and linking websites you mention (like 101weiqi.com) in the description of the video can help your SEO. Happy to volunteer my help with that too!

I like to use AI-Sensei and defining a mistake as a 10 point loss. That way I can focus on big mistakes in e.g. direction of play and in life-and-death situations, without getting lost in the details I'll probably never grasp.

I dunno I think it depends how your brain works For some memorization is pointless without understanding the fundamental principles involved. Either way as long as we’re having fun playing a game and learning the lessons it teaches us we’ll probably be OK

It depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to learn the status of standard L&D shapes, then you can probably memorize them. If you want to train your reading, then you should read. I believe the mixture of purposes of tsumego is the source of confusion on how to do them. Myself I'm pretty ok with my knowledge on certain shapes. However my reading is relatively poor. So in my case, reading is beneficial.

When i lose a game AI helps me figure out why, at kyu and lower dan levels opponents will make game losing mistakes surprisingly often, AI will show me where i could have won the game back or where i misread or missed a fundamental Of course AI will often show the best move as an incredible creative top pro level move But often the second or third best are completely normal moves that I could have found if my reading or estimation/counting was better

I've been stuck at 6k for 1.5 years (i oscillate between 5k and 7k). I'm a bit desperate as i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. One of my issues is that i'm influence oriented, but i don't play it well i suppose. Often, i don't mind losing my corner in exchange for a wall. And sometimes, i don't manage to make that wall work. So i just lost my corner in exchange for nothing.

I suspect that in the near future there will be real AI teachers. After all, teaching go is a skill just like playing go and the only reason we don't have good AI teachers yet, is because it's harder for humans to come up with a conceptual framework that enables the computer to learn teaching go from scratch similar to how the computer is able to learn playing go from scratch.
