Re: #145 - hailthorn 8k vs Sur 7k

Post by Loons »

In response to Sur's question.

I gave this move a bit of thought, and while I'm not saying it's the best move, I feel like there is a rhyme and reason to it.

As a premise-

White wants to settle locally, because he already has a running group in the top right. However, a normal approach will meet a result like diagram A, unsatisfactory.

Diagram B is for reference, when black does not kick.

Diagram C is an established idea, when white wants to settle locally and wants to avoid diagram B.

Diagram D: So to avoid getting a weak group from A, white plays :w16: at :w18: in diagram C. If black seals white in, white has already played a checking extension.

Sorry for yet another radio silence. I was away for the holidays for quite some time. And I'm finally settled in now, so I'll be sure to make moves on a daily basis. :salute:

I'll be honest here- I did not think about this as a potential move at all, so I'm not entirely sure how this is going to work out. Either way, I look forward to seeing the result! This should be fun. :D

I'm thinking huge exchange or even killing him if he makes a mistake. Lets see what he does first.

The fun continues! :D Let's see how this all works out. Probably not a good idea to play with a headache, but oh well. I may die here, I may live here. Because of my decision to tenuki with :w16: this is a win or lose situation. Actually, to be honest, I've probably lost this game. However, I won't give up just yet. But I hate playing the Chinese opening. I always end up playing an overly aggressive move or ignore necessities. I think I've only ever beaten this opening once. And now you know why!

Either way, this game has been quite fun. Can't wait to see how it all turns out! :salute:

I'm probably stupid for trying to kill him when I'm definetely in superior position, but I believe that he can't escape here.

This was a weakness for many moves, initially I thought about letting him out and making some exchange, but now it wouldn't work so well. I think I overcomitted to playing in this part of the board, I'm just fixing my shape, hopefully in sente and then I'll probably play elsewhere.

I believe he may very well panick and make some mistakes, let's see what he will do.

I was in a hurry and may have played a move that doesn't fix a $&*^#. Yep, that's me.

Sur, sorry for the lateness of this, but I'm going to resign. It was definitely fun, but I completely messed up on the top right!

Er, I admit that it's not looking great for white, but... I don't think this is a good point to resign, I think white can still live...
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Yes, if I were white I would be happy at black not just sealing the group inside.

OK, thanks for the game. I too feel like the resignation was a little premature, but it was your decision to make.

I believe :w16: caused all your problems. You should have helped your weak group instead of playing elsewhere. Until then you played very well and I was kinda scared :-)
