you're on the right track; dig a little deeper (ie wider); think about eyes.

talking of eyes, mine aren't as sharp as yours, so please can you make your next picture a little bigger?

A few comments. you didn't comment on black 7, which looks a little far from the shimari to be coordinated. of the alternatives you offer for white 8, i like Alfie's press, which would get white out with a bit of a wall to jump in behind black 7.

if white tenukis, black can attach at D17 to ...

too specific i hesitate to jump in here, but i'd like to try and make a case for dontbtme's idea, which strikes me as being right on the button, and wouldn't be hard to implement 'cos it's just a couple of "If" statements:

Black had everything going his way - or so he thought...

Where did he go wrong?


PS. Wow! Beat this:

one thing you can't afford to be in Go is careless. here, black was well ahead (i think...) but due to overconfidence lost concentration in a simple combination that swept the carpet from under his feet and he came crashing to the ground.

What must black absolutely not do? Why?

White has a feeling of urgency and a feeling of being behind. i want to take issue with this; you are 5D and i am 5K, so we are pretty much the same and can argue on even terms.

Throughout prehistory, White has always been behind Black - the first people were Black, and the first Britons were ...

having learned nothing... Nothing! zip, zilch, zero... white gives black 4 corners AND lets him have an easy life in the middle!
.. but somehow just squeaks home, more by luck than judgement. Is nothing sacred??

why it says more about me than A0 your question opens up a can of worms so deep it makes Alfie's iceberg look like a pimple.

but it's such an important question - so important that schoolteachers of English and History and Politics and and and should maybe spend more time on it than telling us how ...

it can afford its patience sorry, i can't resist this one Do you realise what you just said?!

" afford patience"

that says more about you than it does about Her Alfness

g.png so E3 should have been at C7, then white draws back like Redmond advised A0 to do.

i didn't want that, so figured i had to jump into the corner before the door was closed completely.

But, as you say, i should have left it alone until the right time; i'm sure that's what my new heroin(e) A0 ...

I'd say it's more greedy... invasions that I'd have thought were overplays i've only looked at Redmond's Reviews, and i recall that A0 made an invasion in game 4 that took even him by surprise, but as far as i remember he pointed out that it had two escape routes, so i got the feeling that A0 had ...

I'm only a beginner you don't sound like a beginner... and i see you are sdk, so a pretty advanced Beginner at least.
