PW[Lilltiger]PB[Hanezeki]WR[1d]BR[3k]DT[2011-11-04]PC[The KGS Go Server at http://www.gokgs.com/]C[This is a teaching game from the Teaching Ladder. I believe he is actually 3-4d ranked, but has lost it due to not playing ranked games for a long time.

I usually don't go into games like this, because I can be somewhat difficult to deal with for a lot of people and I know that. So, I try to spare them the annoyance. I challenge everything I'm told and most people seem to get annoyed at this. Unlike they often think, it's not because I believe they're wrong or because I am intentionally being insolent, it's because if I am to "learn something new", I want to be bloody sure that it actually holds up. If I can find a hole in it by poking at it once, why would I want to learn that? So, if they can back it up with something I'll gladly accept it as being true. I just do not like unverified information that someone tells me where I just "have to take their word for it". 

Anyway, the offer was up for a long time and no one else was taking it, I needed to play a game, so.. What the heck? I could try to swallow my comments and just play it for reading practice.

And again, my intention was not to play a passive boring game just because I know my opponent is stronger or something. I want to challenge myself.]RE[W+51.50]

I remembered wrong. Even in the joseki that I had in mind this is not the correct "sente" move and even if it were, I do not have a stone in F6 taking away a liberty anyway... 

Blah. Annoying to remember shapes out of place and then play in according to that.

-

Instead of this, E16 would seem like the proper move. If white plays up there now and then plays forcing moves against my lower left, he has the frames of a large territory.]
