3-3, 3-7, 7-7, Pursuing a 'style' of my own . . .

Post by Elom0 »

Go and the natural world operates on the basis of 6+1, 7 being the beginning of completion.

I'm going to make my opening move in all four quadrants either 3-3, 3-7 or 7-7, unless my opponent plays at 3-3 themselves, in which case I may not necessarily cover at 4-4 even if I have a stone at 77 in that quadrant; I may attach at 3-4.

I'll post what happens in diagrams here and full game reviews will go in game analysis.

I like it. I played a lot of 3-3 for a while just because it was so simple. Well, I did find that some people didn't know the standard joseki but it was simple for me to play.

3-7 isn't bad. I don't see it as an opening but I can see it working somehow.

7-7 is wild though. Have fun.

Sometimes "bronze" is more fun.
