Thanks, Chew! I'm experimenting with 3-4 pincers in general, so I've been playing almost exclusively 3-4 points in my games. I like that 2 space high pincer quite a bit, often it tricks black into living really cramped and giving White good results on both sides :D. The 1 space low against the high approach also has some nasty variations :).

Edit: Something I forgot to add, thanks to Explo and Shaddy for the excellent review!

I lost game three of Redundant vs. Redstick. The record is 2-1


I completely lost track of the score, and overplayed severely to lose. Next game is Monday at 8:30 est.

I won the fifth game between Jedo and myself, winning the series 3-2. Thanks Jedo, it was fun!

Here is our game. Thanks to ExplO 2d for reviewing. The SGF is a little confusing as Aphelion02 and I reviewed it before ExplO joined, but you can still see all the comments.

I believe, it was Saturday and 10am GMT+1 but nevertheless, I can't play on Saturday, so what about Sunday at 10am GMT+1? (I'm sure, you wanted to express the same time anyway ^^)


post scriptum: I'm going to post this game this way, again. It's much easier to see my defeat =D

Sunday 10:00 CET-dst is fine for me.

NB: The time difference between CET-dst and GMT is two hours...
