double approaching a tengen stone

Post by macelee »

I was last night working though the 1990 Chinese games when I found this game with tengen opening and double approach to it. The game also developed into a huge capturing race:

Another tengen opening game by the same black player in the same event:

Those were fun to look at. Particularly enjoyed in the first game the way white asserted it's will to power in the center. A salute to Ni for playing tengen against Ma Xiaochun! :salute:

Agreed those were quite interesting. I especially found the first with the white response a real shocker. It was not what I was expecting at all. Thanks for sharing.

We play because we enjoy the beauty of the game, the snap and feel of real stones, and meeting interesting people. Hope to see ya there! お願いします!
