Hi all,

When doing my Graded Go Problems, I notice that the ones that give me most struggles are Attack and Defense problems.

I’m “somehow” able to solve Live and Death problems, as well as Tesuji problems (which also involves life and death), but Attack and Defense are more blurry in the desired result given the situation.

It’s not clear if the desired output is to protect territory, create strength, press down opponent, connect groups,… etc.

Maybe if I focus only on A&D Tsumegos, my brain will be able to better spot patterns. Do you know if such a collection exists outside of general Tsumego books or Middle game teaching books?

Thanks

Hi all,

Newbie here. When it comes to coding, I find it easy to pick the right model or switching between models.

But my next step is generating the right content text for my website, the one that engages and is insightful. I may also use it to generate static content like help pages, FAQ, terms and conditions,… etc.

I’m not sure if coding models (Qwen, MiMo, Nemotron…) are the best ones for that.

What are your advices regarding copywriting content?

Thanks

Hi all.

Sensei's Library is almost always mentioned when I ask for reviews here or on Discord, which makes me think I'm not taking full advantage of the website for my learning.

I'm more treating the site like a dictionary: You go there because you have a specific question in mind, not to read it from beginning to end.

But maybe I'm wrong. What's the best way to take advantage of the Library as a DDK learner? I'm curious to know your thoughts and experience on that.

Thanks.

PS: To give you a specific example, during a review, someone mentioned that I tend to Squeeze Out the Toothpaste, which I didn't know about. I understand the concept, but I'm telling myself that if I knew this was a common mistake, I would try to consciously avoid it.

Hi all,

In my last couple of games, I faced a Chinese opening, which I didn't handle well. I start noticing my opponent has a big, strong side that's very hard to invade (unless my opponent blunders), and then he confidently starts invading me and destroying the center.

I'm looking for your advice on how to handle that situation. Should I try to invade him earlier (before enclosing my corners) or should I ignore and focus on other open areas and deal with invasions as they come (the improvisation mode).

DDK speaking, so the easier, the better 😛 (also, all my current opponents are also DDK).

Thanks

Hi all, ddk question here.

I never payed much attention to this aspect of the Fuseki, until I saw a video advising beginners to play their opening moves on the same side to have a simpler game.

My understanding is that having your stones on opposite corners might be more challenging because it’s harder to get big sides.

Am I correct? Given you experience what types of games both lead to?

Thanks
