Yes, Loons,

This happened in one of my IGS games, last night, and I did not respond correctly. What should black do? (Black wants to keep outward influence or take the left side. Reclaiming the corner is playable too if white is left thin but black has a deep moyo on the right, center, and, ideally, doesn't want white to have too much power to attack it.) Last night, I played at a and lost the whole corner. I won the game, ultimately, but felt that this was my biggest mistake. (If a is the right response, how does it go?) |

This is my first instinct - if White "a" then Black "b", if White "c" then Black "d", White "e", Black "f" |

before anything else, it should be noted that whenever white has a stone at one of the points marked 'a', the invasion at 1 is considerably more powerful and 4 is generally a mistake. Simple but pretty effective this actually works fine as well |

Hmm... I wondered if 4 was actually the mistake. How should black have responded to 1? |

I'm just curious that no-one has mentioned black's first move at C2? It's not easy, but is there an obvious reason black needs to start by thinking about b5 (or 4) ? (I don't see white being fast enough to live in the corner and get an ok result outside, but I haven't had my coffee yet so who knows). |

questions on EdLee's last diagram First I fully agree that white shape seems bad, but: It seem (just seems, read nothing) white can easily live by crawling a few steps on second line, and keep sente (because black has to something about white's cutting stone). Is this correct? And then, we all know crawling on second line is terrible, etc but considering that it was 3-3 invasion right from the start anyway, would white result be so bad? |

Transposition.  White has transposed to a joseki that seems ill-advised with the Black stones already on the side.  The play through  follows that joseki. Then, instead of pushing again, White lives in the corner. The result looks pretty bad for White.

I like Bill's outcome for black - it looks favourable in general - but in the actual game that raised this question, I think it would have been a thing of beauty and white would surely have resigned immediately. |
