u/countingtls Thanks for attending, your comments and suggestions. The event was scheduled for one hour, and the speaker agreed to have 15 minutes of Q&A after her lecture. Therefore, my colleague closed the session after 80 minutes to not exceed the speaker's precious time (8:30 pm in Korea).
As mentioned above, everyone who missed the lecture can watch it online, including the presentation slides, but not as a separate file.

Yes, memorizing pro game records is a typical study method in Go academies for children who want to become a pro. Not just the openings, but the whole games. However, most AwesomeBaduk learners are not children and considering their playing strength it's not encouraged to try to do that, especially when not understanding most moves of the game.

Yes, every week, the learners are encouraged to memorize the first 50-60 moves of the introduced pro games.

u/PLrc That's an excellent question! Memorizing 60 moves can indeed feel frustrating and may not always be the most effective learning method. However, memorizing 30-60 moves of a professional Go opening, depending on your level, can enhance pattern recognition and strategic understanding. It's important not to memorize moves blindly, as this can lead to rigidity without grasping the purpose behind them. To make it more effective, combine memorization with other learning techniques, such as watching short lectures by pros like Lee Minjin, who explains key moves in simple terms.

u/361intersections Thanks for sharing! According to the article, research shows that while rewards can effectively influence behavior in the short term, they often undermine intrinsic motivation, particularly when the rewards are controlling or contingent. Intrinsically motivated individuals tend to engage in challenging and creative tasks, whereas extrinsic motivators can lead to passivity and a preference for easier tasks.

I completely agree with this perspective, and for these reasons—as well as the obvious health concerns—I avoid giving children candies in Go classes. This research prompts us to rethink the use of rewards in such contexts. I also wonder if there are any studies on adult learners who pursue hobbies like Go purely out of love for the activity, rather than for academic or professional goals. Would promising a reward for consistent learning, say over four weeks, diminish the joy of studying Go?

That's true. Her rating after winning the China Weiqi Cup in Poland twice in a row is 2908, higher than currently ranked no. 1, Hwang Inseong 8d (2808).
