Todays's position is from GoGoD 1992-11-17a, the 2d Ing Cup semi-final, game3, between Otake Hideo (W) and Rui Naiwei. Otake made a fine move for the time, but Elf reckons that it lost 13% to par.

Otake played the pincer, :w12:. Then Elf recommends the solid connection, :b13:. :w14: extends on the bottom side, and then :b15: plays a counterpincer. From the pre-AI perspective, White can be satisfied to have prevented Black from making an ideal extension on the right side, and :w16: plays elsewhere.

However, the bots do not consider that extension to be ideal, and often omit it. In this case, instead of :b11: at :bc:, Elf's choice is :b13: and after White extends to :w14:, for Black to make the enclosure at a instead of extending on the right side.

Elf prefers the cut. Then :b13: pulls back and :w14: stands. After :b15:, :w16: attaches at R-16 instead of invading at R-17, presumably to prevent Black from blocking that invasion at R-17. I expect that the White extension on the top side is one reason for that decision.

Don't know what Otake would play, but expect Elf says he should have cut.

Speculatively:
Current position:
1. It's well-known now that Q6 is bigger than normal. The W corner gets very thick and this helps create follow ups on both sides that B finds it hard to remove with just one move. It is like the Q3 Q6 shimari except B has made some bad exchanges, removing its main weakness.
2. Otherwise either 3-3 is natural.

Opp to play
1. Connect Q6

Past:
1. B shouldn't have let W get Q6, so W should be ahead. D14 seems early for its time given that we call it an AI move and J17 seems premature.

Check:
1. close in some places
