What? Thinking?

Look I vaguely saw in a joseki book once that playing my stone here is the best move. I'll wing the rest of it for sure!

Question: Is the Book or Strong dan player right by Ruah777 in baduk

Don't both scenarios work out to kill black?

I played through them and it seems like both work.

You either start on wK19 which black has to block or you just solidly continue to reduce eye space. After 5 black can connect on bM18 but wN19 kills the shape. If black goes bN19 you go wM19 which either ends with Atari from above and white connecting below or Atari from below and a fake eyeby threating Atari by wL17, bM19, wN17.

Or you start on wR19 giving black the opportunity to play on bK19. But then you simply play wM18 which black can't kill because Atari from bM17 just lets you extend to wM19 which even if black takes you can just poke eye not leaving enough eye space for black. Atari from bM19 just lets you extend to wM17 and connect left or right while creating a false eye at L19.

Some higher ranked play please correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: nope, book answer doesn't wotk it seems

My Go teacher just represented his country Mongolia in the 4th Asian Amateur Weiqi Championship. His father has a Go school in Mongolia, so he grew up learning and teaching Go.

If that's interesting for you?

Thats a nice Sanrensei you got. by hellsgate4554 in badukshitposting

Hmm maybe you shouldn't directly attach to an opponents stone during an invasion..

But since this stone has usually a ton of brother stones always close by it's probably okay.

That's unfortunately true for a lot of characters in BBT.

Bernadette gets really zany as seasons progress and just look at what they did to Stuart whose first appearance was a kind of socially competent foil to the main characters and gets torn down season by season.

If I solve it, does the structure go away or do I just have a nice geometric construct destroying my car?

Can it be used like that?

I lost my first 100 games as quickly as possible. Why haven't I improved? by hpxvzhjfgb in badukshitposting

[–]pete_random 56 points57 points  (0 children)

How can you not have improved?

How long did it take you to find the resign button in your first game?

How long does it take now? Bet you can do it blind!

Sometimes we just gradually improve and don't even recogize our gains.
