Move 7 is already clearly against fundamentals. It approaches from the "wrong" side of komoku, and plays angle contact for no good reason. Basic instinct (a push to the 4-4 point) lets White gain a large corner without weaknesses, while Black accomplishes little. The camera fades out as White places move 8 but it looks to be at the 5-3 point to make a shimari; also not a bad choice.

Awesome Hikaru parody haha. Its nice to see that people are making creative Go videos for Youtube which is always going to be good for building the western Go community.

Not the best play but at the same time I feel like mid kyu games can often be the most fun to watch. Some of the craziest comebacks and weirdest shapes I've ever seen were between like 12 kyu plyers

@Primetarget83 and kbitzing is one of the main pleasures of go ;-)

@Primetarget83 well his analysis is pretty much correct although I think 5-3 is a very bad choiche cause it lets black play 4-4 which simultaneously snullifies the hinese opening and threatens the shimari, while w 4-4 b 4-5 w 5-3leaves w with good shape and b without base, the chinese opening is still a bit damaged but w has his gain. for the rest the main problem is they make pointless moves, but then again you could write books on pointless moves so it's quite useless to discuss it here

@Zahlman You just had to kibitz didn't you? ;-)
