Invasion after joseki (Part 2)


In the 2nd variation, white r9 will often be better than s8 as it also connects but stops black playing r9 himself to build some outside influence.

R9 instead of S8 is a outdated Japanese joseki, which is now considered inferior, from modern research.

From the PM, it seems lovelove misunderstood me. He thought I was suggesting the following play at r9 for black rather than the nobi to the second line. my understanding of this move is that it can be playable, but it makes white get stronger on the outside so the second line move should be considered the default best move.

What I was suggesting was r9 for white in place of s8 when black connects in the corner on the outside, allowing the s6 descent in sente:

q8 and s8 are now miai, so white is connected. The advantage of this move over s8 is that black can less easily do something useful with his r8 stone, as shown in the next diagram where he builds influence (and white increases his territory in return). A downside of r9 is that if black plays s8 even though you capture the 2 stones it is only one eye so if black gets stronger around this aji could be annoying, but s8 similarly is not an unconditional 2 eyes though the eyespace does seem slightly better to me.

Yes, :w10: is what I learned from a Korean haengma book.

In anycase, the push at :w2: is what's most important. It's a move to remember.

Lovelove, thank you again for posting this series. A question about 22: is it "no ko" in the sense that no threat is big enough, or in the sense that w can't win the ko by connecting?

You are right in both. In addition, that ko is a direct ko for black, but approach ko for white; white needs to ignore black's ko threat twice to win the ko.

I have just posted five lectures in a row. This should be catching up my promise, "one lecture a day", and also realized it is not possible to be continued. :scratch:

Changing plans, I will post these lectures in Monday, Wednesday, Fridays. Sorry!
