Life In 19x19

Thanks mitsun for your correction, Cunningham's law strike again i guess ! I thought a very strong player taught me that but i probably mixed up with Kobayashi opening.

Agree on , , ,

i'm afraid it's your worst kibbitz so far
Checking extension is the only move here, both urgent and valuable. Josekipedia explains the reason for the probe move very well, too.

playing high is slightly better here, since white aims at expanding his moyo. Concrete example : it ...

Played another game. I felt good until my opponent invaded. I feel there was some way for him to escape and destroy my territory. Fortunately he did not find it, but there was probably a way for white to avoid such an uncertain outcome...

that's what black usually ...

The second part of the book was really, really, really harder than the first one, so i took me longer than expected to complete the book. Actually, wasn't even able to finish it as the last problems were just too hard for me.

I was quite ...

Hi guys,

I started playing go about 10 years ago (i was 12 at that time), and have been atlernating between phases where i was quite serious about studying and periods of time where i didn't play at all. I'm currently 3 dan on KGS.
