... the procedure is:
[1] Calculate the deficit as a number of points disregarding sente and gote in the case where you play the reverse sente;
[2] If it appears that you would recover that deficit with the next ...

Hi all, I have bought this book (I love the writing style) and am working through it. It really answers a lot of my questions! There is one concept, though, which makes me stumble: the subsection "the relationship between reverse sente and gote boundary play" starting on page 72.

O Meien says on ...

Meat is often on sale on the 29th of each month (ni kyu ... niku ... 肉 ... meat), it is especially tasty on Nov 29, 1 1 2 9, ii niku, which is how you would pronounce "nice meat".

But I am quite happy with 1/5 ...
