Okay, scratch that entire post, except why should it be played? On the Sensei's page, http://senseis.xmp.net/?ReverseSente it says these plays are rarely played before the opponent gets the chance to play them?

Hopefully this time the definition will sink in. And I see from the same page that you have added yet another thing to learn! Thanks Bill!

Well, hm. Maybe the SL page needs a rewrite. Reverse sente isn't at all rare in amateur games. I don't think there's necessarily anything rare about them in pro games (other than the fact that so many games are resigned before the endgame). The point is that you should plan on your opponent getting all his sente moves, because he will usually be able to take them before you do, and if he does permit you to take one, you should expect that there will be another gote move that is just as large for him to take after you give up the initiative.


IMO, reversion to the previous page would be a plus. It said that the reverse sente is somewhat unusual.
