well not bad, i like to see more people getting interested =).but i have to say thatjoseki is even for BOTH players so diagnal approach is not recomended in the opening. as for the 2 knights move, you may not know this but playing the 3-3 is possible it just becomes a ko. so to secure takes 1 knights move and a diagnol on the other side. no it is not slow depending on timing =).

good video though. keep it up!

[sakonukon1316]

yes and for everyone who commented about the knights move, i got it out of a book i downloaded off the internet, so it is not my logic!!

[grolich]

So two knight's move enclosures from a star point (4-4) are bad, whether large or small knight's moves... The usual way to secure the corner completely after a knight's move (or a large knight's move) is by playing a diagonal from the other direction. This can lead to a pretty nice corner, but it took 3 moves! that's why it is usually considered inefficient (at least in the beginning) to make territory directly from a 4-4 corner.

This has direct bearing on another thing you go over. In a sec.

[sakonukon1316]

you said that knights move enclosures are bad, so why are you now saying that they are good.

your video moves a lot, you must use a go program, like gGo, in IGS, or whatever kind of go program, it will be more pretty and clean, but good video, its a very good game, and all the people must know it

[hananokuni2580]

Jôseki must be executed in accordance with the GLOBAL situation on the board. That is, the stones in the jôseki must benefit all the other friendly stones on the board. Also, the player must know what exactly is desired from the Jôseki exchange. Sente, mutual sente, or gote? Corner territory or influence towards the center of the board? Jôseki are often a decisive part of the opening, so care must be taken when choosing a jôseki sequence.
