Gah! My eyes! :shock:

Not sure what it tells me though, except either the KGS rating system is messed up or these people were drunk. Ironically, Black spent a lot more time (a whole 30 seconds) on the terrible move 15 than on the others in the opening.

Meanwhile, I remembered another example which in a way is similar to the one from the Chinese fuseki:

Who has bad shape, White or Black? It's Black of course - :w4: may make a broken shape, but it has massive aji, while :b5: has no function at all except to make a clump. Even so, professionals have played this, so it seems to be viable in some circumstances.

Ah yes, the eye-bleeding tesujis. B was probably in the North American time zones (Friday evening)
and W in Japan time zone (Saturday morning), just a guess. Morning coffee not ready, or after dinner wine? :)
