@Bill, once black played 16 then yes I expected him to be consistent and cut, I meant tenuki for 16.

@Tim, might be slack?

Glad to see Joaz is thinking about taking sente, not just cutting. Strange flow though...

This has me worried. I was that assuming that O6 was the only reasonable reply, and that he would conclude the same himself almost immediately, and that he would play it.

He's probably going to try to complicate in the hope that I get in over my head.

My reasoning was that if after :w1: black tenukis, the two marked black stones seem really bad, especially considering the move order. So black probably continues locally, probably at :b2: , and then moves to :w5: seem to follow naturally. :b6: has to be somewhere on the outside IMHO, and then W seems to me to have all kinds of stupid aji in the corner - one crude example in diagram 2, but I think better lines may well exist - what e.g. starting from 33-point does?

[hide]Ok, I'm probably going to take a lot of flack about burning aji, and Bill will probably say something about me over-thinking it ( if he hasn't already ) but, here is the plan:

...

What I have done is to provoke the exchange of 6 and 7 in advance, leaving the possibility of creating a position in which he has played the inferior 6 at P8.


Is this overthinking or a common dan-level line of thought (or both)? I certainly found it interesting as I don't have this sort of strategy in my go arsenal at all.

My personal take: both? Especially in the opening, I consciously try to think of move orders which give possibilities to making my opponent's previous moves seems misplaced when I'm playing seriously. However, in this particular case Joaz moves seem just odd to me.

I think this may be an ex post facto justification of the move. That is, Joaz decided cutting directly is bad and is now looking for alternatives. As he hasn't said anything about it directly, though, this is all just speculation.

White 2 above cobbles together my stones for now, and allows me to invade. The downside of this line is that:

1) The 2-3 excahnge strengthens black quite a lot, so is a heavy cost for sente.
2) White becomes quite thin.

The upside is:
1) The board becomes complex, and I like fighting.

So I'm still undecided if to go for it if black pays 1 above.

Going back to may move, I thought it was the best at connecting my bits and making black's original cut be on an odd point.

The good thing about this is that, although he covers both, he is a bit thin.
I can't see any good way to exploit it right now, but it should be useful later.
At worst, it will be a nice source of ko threats.

The bad thing about his move is that he is getting massive center influence.
And my stone at I3 is looking lonely.


My initial inclination was to grab more territory, maybe on the side like this...

But I need influence to counter his. So I've got to strengthen my I3 stone by moving out. The nice side effect of this is that I renew the threat to cut:

For observers:
Now that I'm threatening to cut again, white needs to defend. Much like last move, he will try to defend in a way that keeps sente.

The only thing that I can see that does that is this:

I'm not sure where he plays next, but he has sente and I have a heavy group at I3/I4/I5.

So maybe I try to wrest sente from him:

In this position, black has quite a lot of aji - any of the points marked a may become entertaining, dependant on how the fight develops.

As played, I assumed black will connect next. If so, the 4-5 exchancge below keshes som black aji, so is good for me.

The lower right is mostly settled, and the focus will shift elsewhere.

As mentioned before, the simple connection at L4 in response to his peep leaves me heavy. So I'm going for something that slides further away from his strength, and that has more influence to counter his.

It looks thin, but it is all connected.

Playing M5 was aji keshi, but now pushing at 1 and cutting at 3 does not work:

I traded the aji at M5 for influence in the center / lower left.

I'm ahead on territory, and ahead on influence on the left; but behind on central influence. If I can slide further into the center and gain competitive influence there, I'm indisputably ahead.

Joaz's last move is more efficient than the connection I showed. I want to invade now. For example, if I don't:

This variation give black quite a big side - I seem to have left it too late to invade. Black has no weak groups, so my thickness is ineefecitve. Black has 60 points, and white has way less than that.

Given I want to invade, what't the best point? My first thought was the move below:

However, it looks duff if black refuses to connect and plays on a big scale as in the diagram. I can capture 2 stones, but it's small scale and I'm way behind.

My second thought was the move below.

That leaves me with two moves:

I have a preference for the second diagram - it seems beeter to me than many of the alternatives. I black doesn't pincer, I can then get in the probe at a with better timing than in the earlier diagram.
