Here we see a game between Kang Dongyun and Lee Donghoon. Both players use relatively unorthodox joseki in the beginning of the game, which is the focus of this commentary.

New Game Review! Korean Sensation storms the Myeongin Championship!
Lee Donghoon (3p) has come out of nowhere to challenge for the Myeongin title! While only a one dan pro last year he has managed to win two games in a row against Lee Sedol to win the right to play in the championship games. Winning two games off of Lee Sedol is no small feat but this new pro has also won important games against other high ranking pros.

Another video! An analysis of a tricky ko that arises in Game 3 of the Lee Sedol vs Gu Li Jubango
In this video I focus on a ko that comes up in the lower right. There is a full game commentary if you'd like to read something that delves into more of the fighting in the game at Go Game Guru.
Mostly just trying different things out with video settings and recording software so far. Any feedback is definitely welcome.

Trying something new!
I've made a video about Ko threats and what differentiates a good ko threat from a bad one. Please give me some feedback because this is my first video ever!

Its Been a Long Time
Greetings everyone! Sorry my other site went down, I'm in my last year at the University and didn't have the time nor funds to keep it up.
In good news: I made it! I'm ranked 2d in the US and 1d in Europe. It took 13 years of playing but it happened. I have, unfortunately, not been playing too much recently but I will be done with school by summer and hope to play a lot more. A big thanks to Club de Go Nam Ban in Madrid, Spain. Without playing with the strong players there for a time I would never have learned so much so fast.
If you follow Go news much at all you know that Lee Changho and Gu Li are playing a jubango (10 game series) right now. While those games are far too complex to go into in their entirety there are some very interesting moments in all three of the games played so far. I'll be going over some of those in the upcoming weeks.
Ciao!

New Site! New Review!
It has been forever, or at least half a year, but I'm back and better than ever. I have a whole new review up at the Brand New Website!
Whole new layout, whole new game reviews. Thanks to all the people who have kept stopping by since I stopped posting! I've been getting enough traffic that it seemed worthwhile to continue now that I finally have to free time.
