With the marked stone
it is much better for white to take at
to remove all the aji in the corner.

Hmm.. I think it depends on situation. Black can attach over white.

Thank you! I still have to work through all this and my time’s too short, but what little I’ve been able to look through really was very enlightening.

Re: How to Become a Dan
Great series!
However I am having difficulty with the lesson of Lecture 5. In variation A, what happens if for move 11 white doesn't make the play shown but instead S7?

Then black captures to make a ponnuki and you get a miserable connection on the 1st line in bad shape.Mike Novack wrote:Great series!

Re: How to Become a Dan
We need more topics like this one. Being around 10 kyu on KGS I constantly do these kind of mistakes and I never realize them. Are there any more topics like this?

Re: How to Become a Dan
If one is 10k or better: Memorize 500 (random) pro games from move 1-100 (so that you can play all 100 moves from your memory without any! mistake) - one at a time of course - and you will be 1d! You can e.g. use MasterGo, gokifu.com,.... Of course besides that you should play games at some servers or Go clubs to train and to learn also about end game and all the suff that is not covered by memorizing pro games. I guarantee your success!

I think spending time memorising games could be used to solve tsumego in order to improve your reading.
What is the point of trying to memorize pro games if your opponent will not play the same moves? This seems pretty pointless.
