Post subject:  The Games In Your Mind's Eye

Sometimes I imagine a game of go in my head. I thought about how sometimes my worded thoughts are ambiguous, but I still know what I'm thinking and can clearly see the game. I wondered if, given semi-ambiguous plays for the first few moves, what kinds of games would others play? I would like to see these games for myself.

Envision this game in your mind. Then create a diagram of the first ten moves. Finally, post it here hidden (so that your game doesn't influence others.)

    Here is the game:
    1. Black takes a corner
    2. White takes a corner
    3. Black takes a corner
    4. White approaches now
    5. Black backs off
    6. White takes the last corner
    7. Black approaches
    8. White pincers
    9. Black comes out
    10. White helps his corner stone

What did you imagine as you read that?

I was a little saddened by my lack of creativity in this exercise, but I was happy about the 5-space extension I made with :w4: and :w8:.

To me, key points are :

4. White approaches now
5. Black backs off

why would :w4: approach instead of playing in the last empty corner ?
I suppose that's because he think is move is sente and that black wil reply to it before taking the last corner (and that's what happend in the given scenario)
So the question is now : why did black "backs off" instead of taking the last corner...

As I had no clue on this... I did some google searching like "approaching before taking a corner fuseki" which sent me back on L19 forum ;) , on this thread :
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6203

This is why people will frequently ignore 3-4 approaches in the opening to take empty corners or approach a 4-4 stone, but will usually reply to a 4-4 approach.


That why I choose hoshi for :b1: for my scenario... (not telling any thing else is wrong of course, just my two cents guess)

[edit]
liked this one too, to till move 4,

but then, can't find a good reason for "5. Black backs off" so then abandoned the idea.

I was originally thinking of something much like this, but with 2 on the hoshi, so I couldn't get it to make sense to me immediately and ended up changing it until it made more sense. It was the 'back's off' for 5 that got me confused.
