So even game, 6.5 komi, Japanese rules. Sur, do you have any idea for what you want our rule to be using other sources during the game. anyway lets do nigiri. Under the hide tag is a number guess even or odd. 16 |

Hi, let's enjoy a great game. I guessed odd, so you go first. I suggest allowing books and joseki database, but if you want to play without it, I'm ok with it. Your choice. |

ok those rules sound good to me. here is my first move:
My favorite fuseki is the cross fuseki I usually offer it, and i almost always take it if it is offered. I like it because i play territorially and that makes it easier to build up a central moyo. as such this is my favorite position after the first for moves for black.
anyway besides that if I can't get a cross fuseki I'll try to play something like this.
if my opponent has unsymmetrical points I will usually approach them before enclosing myself although that sometimes depends on which direction the points are facing. More generally about myself, I am very aggressive and like games with heavy fighting, but i struggle with reducing large moyos. I'm really excited to see how much better I play if at all with alot more time! |

I just realized that I really screwed up. This should be game 146 not 156. lets see if I can fix it. Edit: I guess that fixes it. |

ok, so I am very happy. Not only did i get a cross fuseki, which is rare, and I love, but he also played a 44 point, which is lower priority to enclose because it is symmetrical, so I have a good shot at getting a shimari. By the way the reason I played the komoku the way I did goes like this:
that makes these sides equal so, if he plays smartly and approachs the larger side, one side is not better for him. This makes the board sorta miaish which goes back to me trying for a shimari. On the other hand it is true that w can play komoku or something else and that complicates it abit, depending on which way it is facing it makes one of the x sizes larger or one of the y sides the same size as an x side (in terms of length) an x is larger
an y is larger
anyway if an x is larger I will approach his komoku , because that is the largest side if a y is larger I don't know yet, but I'll think about it if it comes up. I'm not really sure about my plan for immediate approach yet. we'll see. |

I feel like I'm letting him to play what he wants to play and with this I continue to do so. I was tempted to play 3-3 (never tried that) or to approach immediately. Instead I'll play calmly, letting him to think he is happy. Be careful what you wish for ![]() I hate playing white, it feels like I'm behing already a can't do anything about it ![]() |

Maybe I should have played 3-3. Approaching 4-4 stone almost always leaves you with a solid group with eyes space. Approaching 3-3 stone gives you influence, but after that you still have to take care of your group. I really feel like he loves many small, secure groups and I give him that.

Post subject: | Re: 146- speedchase 8kyu versus sur 7k |
this is my plan for the top.
I'm not sure what he will play after my plan but either of these would be fine with me
Or
this is good because he has to kill off ![]() If he pincers my kakari I'll dive onto the corner and take sente to approach his 44 on the bottom. |

I believe he made two mistakes with one move, I hope this is enough for him to regret. |

i'm satisfied, I think I got the better end of this exchange. Especially with my most recent move, there is alot of aji of me pulling my stone out. even if he plays another move to kill it off. If he does I don't know if I will go for a double wing, or take sente for the bottom. |

EdLee: First mistake is tenuki from F17 stone, this is something you can do in handicap game, but not in even game against stronger opponent. Second mistake (or maybe just my feeling) is P16, it leaves many weaknesses. I would play solidly at P17. But the best move in his position if he didn't want to settle his F17 stone would be L17. I would have trouble responding to it. Am I making any sense? |

We are going to have to use a circle to show last move until someone explains to me how to do numbers above 10. I decided that a double wing was more important than taking sente for the following reason: if white invades my position we can expect something like this.
With the stone I just played already in place I can worry about saving the stone on the right either by making a base or by running out without having to worry about my wall becoming overconventrated. I want to avoid something like this:
Black gets sente ofcourse because white does not want to be pincered but there is still the invasion at the 3,3 point attachment, so I think this is bad for black. In addition it's not like I am playing a small gote move to defend, because a double wing is a very large move even if it is got.e. I am happy with this board position and would put myself a little bit ahead because I think white is a little less develop able in the upper right. |

The 'mx' in the diagram lets you do this. 'x' is the number you want to start counting from. This hidden diagram demonstrates. |
