Yeah, I got ninja'd by Uberdude a bit - I'm assuming you thought that E6 did the same thing though, hence the suggestion of it ?

I meant to suggest E-06 as black's move. If I suggested otherwise than I misspoke. Btw, as far as Bki's suggestion: why would white 4 not be at white 6?

Yes, you did, but Bill suggested E5 -- did you mean you meant to suggest E5? If not, can you see why E6 doesn't split as effectively? How do you expect Black to respond to E6?

RE: bki's suggestion, yeah, :w4:

So this whole idea of "shape" and making "proper shape": Is it the kinda thing, like learning to make life, that I'm supposed to learn, understand, get it under my belt and move on or is it more like attack and defense where I'll spend the rest of my life working on it?

Pros hardly ever make mistakes with shape. Strong amateurs sometimes do. There are 4 dan amateurs who often make shape mistakes, IMX.
