stuck around 20k, maybe I am too old

I would be honoured to be taught by you.

For voice calls there is DISCORD or ZOOM or I can get a SKYPE account if you would prefer.

I guess we should have a chat first and agree how to procede and best times.

I will send you a chat message on OGS with my email address and mobile number. I am uk based so we would need to agree times that suited. I’m still working so uk daytime does not work too well.

Best regards

I’ll also second the Clossi approach, which I think is much better suited to DDK players than Dwyrin’s Basics. It’s nice in that it has a fairly structured system for thinking about what your next move probably should be.

I agree. But besides asking for a review you could also ask your opponent at the end of a game for any comments on your play or review the game together (right then or later).

i have skype (ray.tayek) and discord. either should work to get started.

Thanks for recommending this series.
These are some of the most helpful, clear and concise video’s I have seen.
Well structured set of subjects with clear progression to the next topic.

I was familiar with some of these concepts but the openning strategy was the clearest I have seen to date.

Go Magic felt a bit too flexible - kind of find your own path, easier said than done
when you dont know what you need to know.

I have watched 8 out of 9 so far and will go back over some of the earlier ones.
And I think Clossi has a channel with a number of other useful video’s.

Many Thanks

I watched your game which was commented by another kind soul.

Not big problems at all you are having. You just need a teacher to point out your weakness.

I just skimmed through a game you played with black yesterday:

Your opponent had an unsettled group on the right over about half of the game:

Neither you nor your opponent noticed that there is still a move missing at S6 to either kill the group (as black) or to make two eyes (as white).

That’s where this almost 40 point zigzag of the AI evaluation comes from:

From what I saw, this is the highest priority for you: Get a good understanding of the concept of making two eyes!

Understanding “life and death” in Go is so fundamental that there is no way of leveling up as long as you don’t have a solid grasp on this part of the game.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRcpv_wfRc4

Take care!
