late opening issue

I was white in this game. Black kicked all my approaches, so I thought this opening went a bit oddly. Anyway, white to play:

Re: spotting the atari and other issues (Mark's study journa

Oh, right! I knew that that hane made me uncomfortable. Quite a big difference, now that you mention it.

Re: spotting the atari and other issues (Mark's study journa

I was reading Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go and one thing caught my attention. It's from chapter 5, on spheres of influence, and how territory you have some claim over isn't really yours yet, nor should it always be defended. On page 103:

Re: On the topic of training

Interesting.

There's actually a couple of good reasons why chess players (and go players!) should be concerned about heart disease. The obvious one, of course, is that heart disease is rapidly becoming the #1 killer in industrialized countries, so anyone who lives in one should be concerned about ...

Re: Controversial resign by Lee ChangHo in Fujitsu cup

Interesting. I looked at the board, and thought they both had about 60 points. I'd love to see the pro analysis, though!

Re: 97: topazg vs Mark356 Semi-open

I can't believe I was so stupid! Even if I wasn't going to play the normal keima, why didn't I just take another minute and just read it out? Better yet, why did I have to play so impulsively and get myself into this mess? Now I'll have to work hard to get myself out of it.

Some options I'm ...

I knew I shouldn't have moved so quickly! All when I was at work today, I kept thinking, my last move should've been like this:

Re: 97: topazg vs Mark356 Semi-open

First thoughts:
Interesting reply. I was sure that he'd play k3 very soon, because it makes e3 look kind of ridiculous. However, this reply is both a little more stable (it's smaller) and a little more aggressive (aims to mitigate the influence of my shimari). I'm not quite sure ...

Re: How to make diagrams

No, they weren't working before. I'd been wondering what was wrong, and wondering if maybe it was just me, since sometimes I'll make a diagram that other people can see but I can't.

But they're fixed now! Apparently it was just a space issue. I don't know how some of those extra spaces got in there ...

Re: How to make diagrams

A lot of the diagrams in my study journal aren't showing up. Am I doing something wrong?
