Worth repeating: "Go enthusiasts should memorize this corner."

This won't stop people harping about too much memorizing, I suppose.

For those who'd like a little context before clicking, it a short subtitled extract of Weiqi TV's Top Five Exciting Plays of the Week, which included a tesuji by Mateusz Surma and a mistake by Ilya Shikshin. Great stuff.

Interesting hearing the commentator there say that the biggest weakness of European pros is the fundamental knowledge/memorization of "basic" situations. Was at a tournament in Luxembourg last autumn where Laurent Heiser mentioned the exact same thing in one of his lectures.

Hey, WeiqiTV seems to really be digging European go. It again featured in their top five exciting plays of the week.

This video discusses a couple of really interesting moves by Alexandre Dinerchstein in his Grand Slam semi-final game against Mateusz Suma. It starts at 13:20.

I am told that the commentator said: European players' weakness is the fundamental knowledge, but because they don't have these fixed shapes in the head, that makes them more imaginative. The future of European Go is innovation!

Good stuff!

Here's the game:
