detritus, sorry I forgot. Consider my move a conditional one. :roll:

Edit @joaz: I accidentally started a new page. Skydyr's move awaits your approval on page one.

Doesn't Joaz have to approve my move first?


Good point. @Splatted: You have to wait for me. :lol:

But in this instance it is no problem, for I would have approved.

Something up top doesn't feel right also. I've thought about enclosing a corner as well, which could also work, inviting white to approach the other one...

I think I will pick my move as this high enclosure, because it's thick if white tries to take a position on top by approaching at G17 or so, and also has good followups down the left side. If white approaches the top right, I can pincer or play solid with a kosumi or the like. If white tries a san-ren-sei, I can approach on the left, then switch to the right side. I've been trying to play more patiently as well, so let's see what white does.

...the marked stone ends up in a nice place, IMHO.

But it still is not worth three points. So...


I approve.

The left side seems to be by far the most valuable point on the board right now because it's valuable to both sides, but very valuable to black. I played low because even a shortened extension to C12 would be quite valuable to black, and a low stone seems to have some good replies.

I would be happy exchanging :b2: for one of a-c, but if :w1: were high it's hard to think of a good reply. "a" would be odd with black undercutting the group, but kicking him first would just be declaring that playing high was a mistake. A high stone is easier to tenuki from, and you could say it's already done it's job by limiting black's extension, but I suspect I'm going to want to develop the left as Skydyr seems well placed to create strong positions on both the top and right sides. (See my other comment box.)

I like skydyr's opening. He's created a strong postion that has good potential for further development. It seems to me that the playing :b5: high makes both adjacent sides more valuable than if he'd played low, because the top now requires an extension to complete it (but will be larger once extended), and E16 will affect the left more than E17.

I suspect Skydyr is planning to develop the top by pincering my approach to the top right, so I'm expecting him to develop the right side next by approaching my bottom right and then pulling back koboyashi style.

I want to break up the bottom side but I am not sure if that's bigger or smaller than the right. I'm going to wedge on the bottom and see what white does, because I don't think my stones are well suited to a moyo game.

This is even worse than a regular malkovich for creating curiosity about what the big brother is saying! Hopefully it's that I am awesome and will dominate with my tesuji-fu.

I'd say closed, as we're supposed to get advice from the big brothers as necessary.

Seems sensible, lets go with that. I see no need to have the same rules for big and little brothers so Joaz and DragonPie can still play open book if they want.

Deciding where to play was really hard here, and I'm not sure I made the right choice, but here's my reasoning.

Firstly, I don't think the top is urgent because I don't see a move that would really make it that difficult for me to invade later, and not only is he well placed to profit from an approach to his 3-4, he'd also have good prospects for further development on the right side, with his wedge being well placed to stop me from making similar profit on the bottom.

I feel happier pre-empting this by going straight to the right side with a move that seems to expand my influence while inhibiting his, and now he's pretty much obliged to give me something good in exchange for settling his wedge stone.

@Observers:
I think that white's latest was less than optimal. TTBOMR, pros usually harass the wedge from one side or the other as soon as it hits the board. It seems that we can approach one side in sente, then the other.

I suspect that Dragon Pie might agree, but does not think that it is three points difference.

I want to stabilize the bottom in sente before I move back to the top.

For white's last move, I thought I'd make a couple of comments. My bro seemed to fear being approached and allowing the opponent to set up a Kobayashi type side, so he chose to play on that side first. I would have wanted to build up the bottom left while pressuring the splitting stone in my bro's shoes. But, either way, his move seems ok even if it's not ideal and I wouldn't want to give up points to change it.

Comment:
No need for anything fancy here. The C10 stone makes an extension more profitable than normal.

His move seems ok. At least, it doesn't seem to be worth changing. If I were to change a move, it would have been his last move. And maybe something like this could happen:

If I knew for a fact that my bro would play precisely like this, I may have changed the move, but three points on any move is pretty big.

I don't know that this is a stabilizing move. It is a 3-space jump. G3 is a stabilizing move. F3 looks more like a fighting move.
It is the move that I would have chosen. I just would not have any plans to tenuki anytime soon.


I approve.
