[16:59] Jhyn[3d]: Thanks @S_Alexander

[16:59] GOkyle[2d]: So you know, they're playing two games in quick succession, not just one.

[16:59] S_Alexander[3d]: They're gonna play two games so might take some time :P

[20:38] HowToPlay?[4d]: Mark wouldnt betray us twice in one day

[20:38] jillgoodgal[7k]: but you are already 9 kyu

[20:38] Kawabata[3k]: How many time a week does Mark teach like this?

[20:38] jillgoodgal[7k]: most Saturdays

[20:39] Kawabata[3k]: Ok thanks

[20:39] jillgoodgal[7k]: usually 8am Pacific time so it is the only reason I get out of bed on Saturday morning!

Move 0 + 29

[20:52] jillgoodgal[7k]: so kill the hane!

[20:52] mark5000[5d]: Yes!

[20:52] mark5000[5d]: This principle applies to many life and death situations.

[20:52] jift[3k]: everywhere i go

[20:52] jift[3k]: i see hane

[20:52] mark5000[5d]: Whenever you solve a puzzle, whether contrived or in your own games, think of reducing eye space first.

[20:53] mark5000[5d]: That's all I wanted to show you today. I'll keep this one brief. Are there any questions?

[20:53] mark5000[5d]: Find past lessons at becoming 9-kyu-a-series-for-beginners

[20:54] Cheese and Clackers[5k]: oh did you start this hours ago and then restart it?

[20:54] Kawabata[3k]: ty

[20:54] mark5000[5d]: I did. I didn't want to draw viewers away from the EGF tournament.
