Hikaru no Go is great, but with your comments and stories it's even more interesting!

yay! Hikaru No Go video. You're the coolest!

Another Hikaru no Go review, great! Aside from the games one would typically ask you to cover (Sai vs Meijin games, etc.), I think the match from the following year's team event (against Akira, I think, episode 14) is worth reviewing, too. The debut was Sai's, but then Hikaru made an interesting move and decided to play the game out all by himself. By Sai's words, Hikaru was not strong enough to follow up on his idea, so maybe it would be educational to explore what could happen from that point on if played properly (or maybe there are even some professional games with similar fuseki, who knows?) Thank you for what you do and happy new year! I've only discovered your channel by the end of 2020, but your videos have definitely made this December that much better. Can't wait to see what the next year brings!

12:25 I'm happy you explained the process of those moves because I didn't really understand what was going on. :) Also thank you for more hikaru. :)

22:48 Ah you know the Ochi technique

You’re such a great go teacher! I love your commentary. If you’re trying to improve your English, I think the title should be “One of Sai’s best games.”

I love how they take top pro games for high school go level XD

I love your channel. I started watching yesterday and wanted to say it's been both fun and educational.

Great lesson..also if anyone is interested the new Hikaru No Go drama tv show is on the IQIYI app

Thanks again for the lesson. Winning or loosing can be a very emotional time for some. No sexy specs?🤗👍

In Japan, we are taught that a man should not cry except when his parents die, and everyone knows this. But even so, everyone knows that sometimes, no matter how hard you try to hold back, the tears just flow incessantly. There are not so many of them. One example is the high school ball game, Koshien. It's too late to start playing in high school. From elementary school on, people around you say that you have talent, and you are surrounded by talented people who are trying to get into prestigious baseball schools. Even if they are talented, they will spare no effort and spend their entire high school life playing baseball, cheering more fervently than the professionals, and facing the expectations of local strangers time and time again to give it a shot. The difference between this and professional baseball is that there are 150,000 or 160,000 participants, and in order to stand at the top of them, it is natural that losing once is the end. Even winning the tough local qualifying rounds is not an easy task as all the high schools practice equally hard. However, when you win the local qualifiers, the mass media will be there to cover the game, and it will be difficult to even enjoy playing with all your relatives cheering you on, but since you're not alone, you can still win even if you're not doing well. However, being on a team and carrying the expectations of your hometown, and being in a particularly prestigious school where you chase the white ball from 6 in the morning until 9 or 10 at night without a break, and losing after a back-and-forth battle on live national TV. There is no one who can stifle their frustration and laugh at this, and no one who thinks it is disgraceful. This is because you can imagine how hard they have been working with their teeth clenched. Therefore, in the culture of men, crying implicitly expresses the significance of crying, and such tears are beautiful and precious.

I want more to see reactions Hikaru Game. Please keep doing!

I really liked watching this anime.I even got inspired to play and practice Go . I really related to this scene too in the anime..hoping to learn more from your videos Ms.Cho. ❤️ From India.

Thanks a lot for this end of the year highlight, fantastic presentation of a very interesting game!

Winter's cold. You are wearing a nice and warm sweater.

hikaru no go is the best, kinda feels like cyberpunk with a ghost over your shoulder.

In some previous video you said that it's not possible to recognize person based on their play (Shuusaku in the cheating episode). I think the reaction wasn't like they recognize it was Shuusaku but believed Hikaru was as good as he initially claimed. Sai almost never played seriously in like the first half of the anime. In this topic I'd like to ask, is it possible to recognize when one player is significantly stronger and plays tutor go ? Like Sai played tutor go vs Akira in first episode, could someone realize ?

Nice video, have you thought in reviewing other you tubers games? I think it would be a nice present for them, and it would be fun to compare your opinions to theirs.

Dear Yeonwoo. I have a question about the different Servers. I was always playing on OGS and could not develop more than between 6 and 3 kyu. Up and down. Now I went on FOX and easily promoted to 2 DAN. (The guys there have their basics so wrong that its sooo easy to win... Does that mean that the servers rankings are so different in strenght or does this show a certain weakness of mine, so that I dont get along on OGS?

Now I'm imagining you crying in the toilet tapping on the cabin wall like Ochi in HnG who always did that after a lost game... Was this the moment where you started to "tak tak tak"? ^^ It would make so much sense!

Very nice! What épisode is this please? Thank you again !

very cool, as always

great content!!

Nice game explanation.

Have you seen the live action?

Thicc move

The way you pronounce "initiative" is not quite right, you can look it up online and listen to the correct pronunciation. Other than that, your English is pretty good, and I like your videos :)

Strange to hear this in Korean...

Hahaha. Very clickbaity. Good job.
