As some of you know, I am a fan of Ke Jie. A friend just alerted me that there are Weiqi TV videos featuring him and other top pros playing speed-rengo. They are great fun, but make me wish I spoke Mandarin.

In this one he and Mi Yuting play Shi Yue and Lian Xiao. It features an unorthodox opening, and a dramatic ending. Great fun.

He and Mi Yuting play a more normal looking game against Kong Jie and Zhou Ruiyang here.

There are more videos in that series, too.

Enjoy!

Very interesting that attachment by Mi Yuting (who smiled as he played it) inside the 6-4 stone (about 22 minutes in). It rather goes against normal how-to-approach-corner principles and plays into hane at head of 2 bad shape, but because the 6-4 is so much further away from the corner than normal you actually get quite a sizeable corner territory in exchange for the big influence you give:

I also recall a game Lee Sedol played against a high stone, maybe a 5-5, in which he played a similar attachment inside to get a big corner in exchange for a big wall. Go is such a vast game :) .

I am pretty sure the game you refer to has Lee Sedol also playing the 5-4 attachment to a 6-4 stone played by Gan Siyang.

Right you are! And the same sequence happens as in this game except with extend instead of jump on 3rd line at end.

Viewers be warned there is fully 20 minutes of chit-chat at the beginning that you might want to skip over if you do not speak Chinese! :blackeye:
