, attach at P4. W did not jump out from the LR corner on 
, so make him pay for it.
More later.
He has two weak groups.
Puts some pressure on white, but what for ? If the goal is to build a wall in the center, then it should be followed by 
at O10 (or earlier 
at O9). 
Puts pressure on white but what for ? Black gains some thickness but it is facing white's and the corner group didn't need reinforcement.
Puts pressure on white, but what for ? At this stage I would be concerned about finding a way to use the e4-h4 wall, maybe cutting at m10 ?
seems like it just invites White to play at R10-11 and spoil your influence, I would expect something more like the chinese opening.
is in the wrong direction.
might work better as an extension around R10, that way White still can't spoil your influence by pincering you.
/ seems like a bad way to pincer though, because it leaves the corner very vulnerable.: I bet you could get a lot of profit from exploiting the weak corner. I'd guess playing at P4 would be the best to totally surround White. There's also aji around 3-3 point. I'm guessing you could get enough power from that to not make up for you lack of base.
: Might be bigger on the untouched territory on the left. seems like an awkward attack, White cut through the weak point you left. I'd imagine attacking the top group (Which looks very weak to me) or playing the first move on the left would be better. , , , and . : I believe pros have played that way. : When white pincers my approach move, I take the corner. This way I already have a lot of territory. This should be playable for black. : I'm not sure if white needs to respond to this move to protect her lone stone, but if she responds, this naturally is better than first playing in the bottom left corner, as black can still do this now.iseijin wrote:About
leichtloeslich demonstrated a nice variation on this. Your move is very passive, granting W opportunity to develop both sides.
This seems very questionable. By making W stronger you are also making it more difficult for your bottom group. Solid extension downward would've been a strong move. I kinda like the net if you block here. It would've been a bit tricky but it should've been playable. O9 however is completely unplayable. I would rather see you tenuki completely than play there. After that move, you are losing badly, but luckily there is still a lot of room to make up for it. If you manage to win hard on bot or left, you can still win. Now the priority should be to get there first.
W could tenuki now, play on the left side or bot, and that would more or less be end of this game. This move should've been at bot, and W answer to this should've been at bot.
Decent trading up to this point. Kill or severely attack W and you may win this.
If this move was at C16, it could've been a game. It wasn't. What saddens me the most is that B seemingly didn't even fight back. This was the last stand, and even if it would've been difficult, at least it would've been an attempt to come back. But there was nothing.
Classic "Please resign now" move.Shawn Ligocki wrote:iseijin wrote:About
