I like the different formats you present. Today for the first time it sounded like you were talking free and not reading a text. This makes the show even more fun to watch. Keep up the good work.

Wery nice, thank you :) And I agree, It sounded more like talking and less like reading :D That is also very good!

I think it's important to point out the the taisha was not rare amongst professionals of Shusaku's time. In fact, it was at the height of it's popularity and innovation! Also, it came back into fashion from the mid 1960s-1980s, and again in the mid 2000s (along with the avalanche).

Very nice... I liked it a lot ... because you clearly explain the ideas, that a beginner still can follow. Thanks for the nice episode.

I enjoy watching game commentaries like this. There are a lot of professional game commentaries out there, but sometimes, the ideas are too complicated to understand. So sometimes, your kind of commentary (given by high-dan level players and intended to the more casual players) are more educational.

I really have liked the format, so keep going like this. It is clear, the speaks are slow and easy understandable, the graphics is essential but complete and explanation are very well made (they covered all the questions that popped up in my mind). Bravo
