Pro Yu Ch'ang-hyeok playing empty triangle

SpongeBob · #1

Hi guys,

just found this game here between Ch'oe Kyu-pyeong 9p and Yu Ch'ang-hyeok 9p from 1999 when I studied the Chinese Fuseki.

I like the agressive pincer on move 7, but then have a look at move 15, which I found very surprising. He gets to turn and seal of white a few moves later, but still ... what do you think?

Missclick? =P
I find the whole sequence until move 19 not very promising for Black. But who am I to judge - in the end he won ^^ I don't like it because I build up a wall which needs two Gote moves to not become heavy. White gets the chance to take the initiative on the right.

An empty triangle is not always a bad move if there is a purpose for using it that cannot be replaced by any other move.

I have just gone back to the Korean Yearbook and found that both moves 15 and 19 were actually played one space to the right in the game. A corrected version will naturally appear in the GoGoD database.

Best wishes.

Since there were more moves incorrectly recorded, I have now corrected all of them and here is a clean version. This is probably another example of bad recording from the Internet.

Best wishes.

Much appreciated!

However, tchan001's caution should not be overlooked.
At least according to Guo Juan an empty triangle is remarkably often the correct move in tactical situations.
Remember, right or wrong does always depend on the context.

Thanks!

I was obviously using the wrong database ;-)
