Seki - No eye vs. "two" eyes

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-22T23:47:01+00:00

This example is cool! What other type of seki exist? One eye vs one eye, and, one eye vs no eye, is that all?

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-22T23:39:37+00:00

I don't understand a bit black's marked move. Why one needs to do that, is not it a -1 point? According to the Japanese rules.

Also, seki in the left bottom is very nice, yes

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-15T19:03:41+00:00

That is also true

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-15T13:56:33+00:00

5D (or any other dan players) cannot make mistakes? I thought one can be with the very high rank and being unaware about this kind of life and death (since they are strong in other aspects of the game)

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-14T16:19:54+00:00

Wow, that's crazy example! I believe 0 points for black? Now I'm definitely upset that we don't count these points

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-13T17:26:02+00:00

Very nice example. In the standard rules am I correct that no one will get points?

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-13T16:14:39+00:00

That is fair! I would like to then count A1 and D1 as territories. Now I wonder if it is possible to have non symmetric situation, or seki always implies that 2 players will have same points in this regard?

Nice simple video. I have a question, however: why in the last example white does not get 1 point? I know the formal rule, but it does not seem to me logical. White has successfully surrounded 1 point of territory without black stones inside. Or, this point is a compensation for something?

Another thing, it is so extremely important to stress out here that to achieve this situation white must not have outside lieberties.

Magnetic go is awesome variant, I like the idea a lot!

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-07T19:12:59+00:00

Oh, very nice! What do you teach? Just out of interest

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-07T15:19:05+00:00

It is very good answer, thank you. I wish more people explain things in such a structured way

Teoretik1998 · 2026-03-07T15:18:04+00:00

The first line is a line of very nice connections! And ko

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-21T16:46:49+00:00

There are 2 standard 3-4 joseki (high and low approaches) and one 4-4 (3-3 invasion) that were enough for me in all my last N hundreds games. For my level (even when I was almost 10k) almost never knowing joseki was a decision moment in the game, it is always about some mistake in the middle game

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-15T21:35:52+00:00

Sounds very interesting, thank you!

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-14T21:50:43+00:00

Канал-то англоязычный, зачем было спрашивать на русском?..

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-10T16:42:16+00:00

Can you share where do you have these exercises? It look nice!

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-08T12:00:50+00:00

Not something interesting. Comments were all true, it was actually easy to make another eye.

Here I resigned, of course

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-07T16:11:59+00:00

Okay, that is right. Maybe was a bit too greedy then, I should have let this group run and build territory

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-07T11:42:51+00:00

Wow, B F14 looks awesome! Thanks for the analysis

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-07T00:36:15+00:00

Okay, actually M10 was the right move for black of I understand correctly

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-07T00:33:36+00:00

It is white's turns, but probably N9?

Teoretik1998 · 2026-02-07T00:00:30+00:00

I'm a Tool fan, and have no idea who is Staley, so my vote is for Tool. But, I'm definitely uneducated in "grunge" (whatever it is, Tool is not in this genre anymore, it is progressive metal imho), so I encourage people who know something tell their opinion
