Enow is Middle English for enough and I think this is going to be the theme of this post. We've waited enough so I'm just going to start this thread.

Black:
percival (7k)
Loons (DDK) (though probably slightly stronger ;) )

White:
Mnemonic (7k)
mw42 (1k-ish)

Rules:
Closed comments (including your team members') and no joseki dictionary or databases (otherwise there'd be no fun :twisted: )
Good game everyone :D

cool thanks a lot i was reluctant to start without genral approval

now a BIG warning: my fist ever rengo game, i apologize in advance to my poor partner.

Who starts ? what order ? is there a tradition that weaker goes frist or second in this kind of game ?

I thought that it might be fun to allow th stronger playyer to view the thoughts of the weaker one so he can pull his hair in advance (or try to steer thigns away fro trouble), but no communication from strong to weak
what do you think ?

on and 6.5 komi right ?

Yes, and I was just sitting on my hands and waiting for someone else to start this. :) Thanks, Mnemonic.

Well, I think the order is as Mnemonic has listed the names, viz. it is your turn, perceval.

In general there is no communication between team members. Part of the game is to try to understand in what direction your partner wants to play.

Aye.

tldr; Your turn!

Have fun everyone.
I am pretty sure I have already played the worst rengo ever, so there is no way I can be disappointed by this one. Knock wood. While I'm not going to play forcing moves to affect who makes what move, I am going to try and stay conscious of what sort of moves perceval is going to have to make.

Hmm, tengen as white. I don't really like it. I suppose taking the corner is biggest. I suppose playing 4-4 is best. It will be interesting to see the direction Mnemonic decides to take this game in on his next move.

. :w6: is expected, so perceval must feel there is a clear move for black. I wonder what it was. I don't really want to pincer - why would we want to fight in white's triangle? F4 is my alternate choice, but I felt like this.

PS: I assume perceval wanted me to one space low pincer, but I think the direction is bad for us and white unbreakably has the ladder. I imagine everyone else is also having flashbacks of Kajiwara's the direction of play.

PPS: He might have wanted me to play the attach underneath but- then white's hoshi is happy and ours aren't.

PPPS: If white attaches inside, I would like a distant pincer. I wonder if perce knows that joseki :P.

This seems natural. It attempts to cut the corner off and surround it and build some thickness. However, this could also lead to an early fight.

Looking now doesn't really give me any information about my next turn at all! I am hoping perceval spots one joseki obviously works with K4.

PS: I have a great-uncle named Perceval. true story.

i am tempted to tenuki and just play a big point because i think we can still live in the corner (actually i can't read that i think i remember but i could easily mistake it for a similar position )but i don't know the joseki and i feel If i make a wrong choice a local joseki will probably be a smaller mistake than an inappropriate tenuki
now between a or b no idea of direction of play at all ...mmm i'll try to get closer to our hoshi stone i guess ...
on the other hand we will be pressed on the bottom while W build a wall facing his hoshi. There will still be space to play on the left so that might be ok.
if i play b i am not sure of the consequence of the cut...
mmm yes i am not confortable with b ie:

i don't know how things would proceed from here but a ladder on :wc: in the future wont't work and its too messy for me.. ill stay clear of it


In the end i have not a single shred of idea about direction, so i'll play a because it seems less likely to lead to a gross tactical blunder (less likely but likely anyway), and the hoshi stone might help
i already feel the pressure of rengo after 9 moves :-?[/hide]
Edit: fixed move number from 7 to 9 (insert obvious geek reference)

There was a glitch in the matrix! And don't be negative, perceval.
This was what I was thinking of. 5-4s are wily beasts though, we'll have to be careful.

Don't worry percival. My partner hates me more :mrgreen:
Sorry, my comments have been a bit scarce, but I don't have a lot of time at the moment and I though a move without comment is better than slowing down the game.
Anyway, they can’t crosscut so I'm playing this move. I was considering the 33 point, but then they could link up with their K4 stone.

Edit: Fixed numbering

The hane is good if this ladder works. I would have preferred to press at :w2: .
