Flexible move to probe black and to prepare an invasion on the lower side. What's your opinion about 'a' instead?


I think that "a" would lose the thread.

How do you respond when your opponent plays nothing but light stones? Ask them if they're willing to commit

The attachment ( :wc: ) would have been too painful, for one thing.

I. would play M3 now as white, clear my throat and nonchalantly talk about flexibility.

Of course it's painful to play M3 when you could play... D11 or something. I was tempted by P11, but that's fundamentally heavy (sacrifice or not) right?

I didn't want to just stand up (P7) because I assume black will end up picking up N4. Thus. M3.

Edit: O11 and grin dumbly.

I do not want to commit now, so the marked stone is another light move.

@bill: When you commented earlier that 'a' would "lose the thread"...did you mean that 'a' was not a good move?

It's an interesting game. I find myself confused how to play against a bunch of light moves like what white has.

I meant that I think that it is inconsistent. I don't think that you can regard the previous exchange as kikashi, and if you don't follow through it can become a losing sente.

OC, that could be because it is a losing sente, anyway, or another move could be at fault, so that it would be best to abandon the right side and cut your losses.

I think that the most desirable plan, now, would be to push through between the :wc: stones and attack both White groups. The danger is to end up with floating stones that get attacked themselves, while White makes territory. It would also be desirable to prevent White :ws:, which would make good shape with previous White stones.

The least desirable plan would be to capture the stone on the right side. I venture than none of us would do so.

This is a play that takes a good bit of thought. :)

Edit: Unhidden.

I see no purpose in some of these last few moves by White... "playing lightly" by itself has no meaning.

Surely he means to sacrifice stones in exchange for useful influence, or we concede him better shape as Bill says.

This can't be right for white, he's just going to let us have territory and thickness? I don't see how these stones of his are doing anything... How do you make sabaki when we're just thick? It's like firing a pistol at a tank

But it seems vulgar, making w top stronger and, as you said as something to avoid, it leaves cutting aji behind.

White fixes its left hand side to make a shape that is not easy to attack. What do you think is the situation? Is it still an even game? SE says White by 59 :P.

Well, I had this move in my mind before anyway^^. Besides, I like it to be a game without restrictions, so that players can learn what/how stronger ones think.

I think black's last four moves might have been mistakes as white's stones don't look as stupid as I'd like them to now. Nevertheless this hane is nice.

I do think that after :wc: in the first diagram, White has an edge. However, Uberdude's hane is huge.

I too would have chosen the hane below like Bill, but Pippen chose a different move for us. :)

@uberdude: Sorry, I took leichtlöslich's choice, but after re-checking, it was hidden, so maybe not meant to be an actual offer. So let's continue with your and Bill's choice then.

My move is yet again: light. If I just extend I'm heavier. My move also kind of sets up/supports a later invasion at a,b or c from the distance. I do not like to invade early, because early invasion means early outside influence for the opponent which is a bad thing if your invasion gets sealed in or semi-sealed in. Mostly that aquired outside influence is more valueable than the invasion points and takeaway points. I like White's position so far, I think it's still an even game, considering that I not only did split, but leave the split stone alone for a while.

p.s. Does someone have CS or Zen on a decent machine? What would they have played instead? How is the position evaluated? Would be cool if someone could give the bot's evaluation on the respective positions.

I give you the credit. The hane was my second candidate, but I had not thought the position through. leichtloeslich's thought was also my first, but I didn't see how to make it work.
