Tak University - Openings Pt. 2

Description provided by Simmon Tak on YouTube:

In this video, we revisit the topic of Openings. You can check out Part 1 here: https://youtu.be/MP6GWTZqLOM In the 2021 Tak Open, we saw several new openings that weren't covered in the previous Openings video. We take a look at some examples from those tournament games and briefly cover why they're effective or not. Game 1 - fwwwwibib vs NohatCoder: https://www.playtak.com/games/465262/ninjaviewer Game 2 - NohatCoder vs Ally: https://www.playtak.com/games/466036/ninjaviewer Game 3 - alion02 vs Simmon: https://www.playtak.com/games/460397/ninjaviewer Tak University is a series where I explain some tips and tricks about Tak that I've learned over the years to help new players gain a better understanding and give that little nudge into a higher level of play. I hope to continue this series until I run out of things to talk about. So if you have any questions or topic suggestions, leave them below in the comments. If you're interested in Tak and want to learn more, check out the official rules at https://ustak.org/play-beautiful-game-tak/ or the How To Play video at https://youtu.be/eshsoeszb18 These games were played on https://www.playtak.com/ and the analysis is done via https://ptn.ninja Come check out the subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/Tak/ Or come where all the action is, the Tak Discord server - https://discord.gg/2xEt42X It's the community hub, where tournaments are organized, where you find people to play with online, and has a huge repository of Tak resources for strategy guides and more. We also have an Instagram! Where a picture of a new puzzle is posted each weekday on a physical board. Go check out @Simmon_Tak on Instagram! We also have a Twitch channel! I'll try to be streaming while recording when possible. https://www.twitch.tv/simmon_tak I've also said it before, but I always plan to keep all the videos on this channel ad-free so there are as few barriers to entry for new Tak players as possible. You shouldn't have to sit through ads to see great Tak content, so I'll do that. I do, however, have a Patreon. If you like the content and want to encourage me to keep making it with money, that's the place to do it. I feel weird talking about it, but there are some perks to joining and you can find those out here: https://www.patreon.com/Simmon_Tak
