There are nine diagrams, the last of which (given below) is labeled:

There is then some more text, which presumable explains the letters in the diagram. From what I can make out, it explains that Black will play double hane if white plays at A (the sequence A-B-5-C is given in the text)

My trusty computer translator says, "Wu: I think the normal solution like this chart."

So Go Seigen says the correct answer doesnt involve cutting those stones apart? :clap:

Anyway it seems like the kind of book i will never lay my hands upon. Any other REALLY peculiar joseki positions like this one? Care to post one or two?

Seems that way, yes

The book is in three parts. Given my lack of Chinese skills, I have to guess a bit, but I would surmise it's something like:

1. Interesting/new/strange joseki moves
2. Openings
3. Middle game tesuji

The move I gave is from part one, and was totally unfamiliar to me. Another one, which I did already know, is this trick move:

Then, there are several moves may be unusual or (somewhat) new. E.g:

None of these, I think, are really new to western players, though they may well be to many of our forum visitors

Anyway, I hope to work through this book together with my Chinese friend, so that I can do more than look at the pretty diagrams :lol:

I'll keep L19 posted on any interesting finds

"Diagram 9 - Go: I believe the correct sequence is as shown in this diagram."

Rough translation:
图9 - Diagram 9
吴 - Wu, or Go Seigen's surname
我 - I
认为 - think, believe
正解 - solution
如 - as
本图 - this diagram

The accompanying commentary would be more interesting though.

Posted: **Tue Jan 25, 2011 1:46 am**

it would be very interesting to know what Go Seigen says about the first variation you showed where white cuts and gets a small corner and black gets good shape on the outside))

@unkx80: The rest of the commentary for diagram 9 reads:

大体上如此，若说还有其他变化图，也可考虑白5接着于A压, 黑B，白5，黑C。

图2 对黑

，白如1位应，黑2是要注意的好手。走成这样黑坏不了。把黑 :bt:

子和白3除掉再看看，是黑稍好的两分，而这一交换黑谈不上损。若这样思考，白3就应该下4位了。这也是此外要研究的如题。

And I have no idea what any of that means

Go: I believe the correct sequence is as shown in this diagram. This is an expected result, if we consider other variations, we may also consider W5 pressing at a, Bb, W5, Bc.

[ed: changed the second to last character; the original looks like a typo]

Against :bt:

, if white answers at W1, then B2 is a good move to take note. This result cannot be bad for black. [ed: tewari follows] Taking off :bt:

and W3, we see that this is a roughly equal position but with a slight advantage for black, and this exchange [of :bt:

and W3] cannot be said to be a loss for black. If we think this way, then W3 should be played at B4. This is also a problem that should be explored.

In that case, how many hours did it take you to type it?

I actually had my girlfriend type it for me. She's learning Mandarin and can read some 1500 characters now. Her Mandarin is not quite good enough to provide a reliable translation, but she can type things like that relatively quickly. There were some 6 or 7 characters total in that post that she didn't know and had to look up.
