Hi there! I've played a 7 stone game with a friend who is just starting to learn Go. To my first stone, he made a curious reply. I felt it was wrong, and I can't find it in any joseki, but I can't actually see if it is "that" wrong, so I wanted to discuss it with you. I can force him to bad shape by playing F15, but I don't think he got such a bad deal. What are your thoughts?

It actually is a Joseki. See here for some variations: http://dailyjoseki.com/browse/bwpwxibwnwwmbxj |

You are referring to black d18? His moves before that were a joseki. In fact you (white) were the first person to make a mistake by descending to f18 without playing f15 atari first. Black should have played d18 at f15 for a beautiful strong shape. His d18 is also worse than the other move in the corner at e18 as, by not taking a liberty from your two stones, he doesn't threaten to cut at g17. |

I didn't knew dailyjoseki. It is a great resource. Thanks. I was actually talking about F16, which no one had ever played against me before. It caught me off guard. I thought I could leave G16 as is, but F15 would be top notch. Thanks. |

You can also look at variations on Josekipedia and Eidogo. (I prefer Daily Joseki for some things, but it is based on a database that includes rare moves, experiments, 16th century josekis, etc. F16, of course, is just a normal corner sequence.) |

Today someone also told me about Josekipedia. Two things I didn't knew and that will help me greatly: Josekipedia and DailyJoseki. Thanks. |

Of course you could also just buy a printed Joseki dictionary like 'The 21st Century Dictionary of Basic Joseki'. In comparison to josekipedia.com this book (actually these books since there are two) is compiled by a professional Go player. Josekipedia has some funny moves (or whole sequences not found in my Joseki book) and without commentary I don't think you can learn much, let alone differentiate between an actual Joseki or a bad variation - unless you are strong enough ^^ That's also the reason why I tend to prefer dailyjoseki.com. At least this database is compiled from pro games so these moves were actually played at the top level. |
