Well, I can't speak for Pippen, but I too think of your name being drm-wc. Not because of water closets, but because drm (digital rights management) is a significant concept in today's Internet world. More so than doctor. So for someone wanting to contract your name (a dubious but common desire), drm seemed more than natural then dr - until now, of course, after your explanation.

This game reminds me of the Fox Puff matchup.

It's in Fox's favor(similar to how this game is clearly good for black right now)

Puff's general goal is to use horizontal aerial mobility to trick Fox into overextending to hit a very large punish. Fox's goal is to stay safe and solid without overextending and prey on Puff's exposed weaknesses one at a time.

Similarly, I feel like black wants to just take care of his weaknesses while taking solid territory and allow white's weaknesses to pile up. As long as we don't give white anything to sink his teeth into, he's just going to keep floating around doing nothing.

Score estimators are problematic, which is why computer go programs have almost universally abandoned them. The main problem, I think, is that they do not take the strength or weakness of groups into account very well.

The current position, however, lends itself well to tewari.

The four :wc: stones are goners. We can assess the efficiency of play by pairing them with four Black stones. Tewari is a bit of an art, but how about this pairing?

It is hard not to think that Black has played more efficiently than White in this area.

This is the opportunity for white to attack while using the nearby light stones to help.

So, this was all so that white could attack our 1 3rd line stone? Even if we tenuki, if he shuts us in, we still have good action in the corner. I'd be tempted to just ignore and proceed to smash face by chasing his right side group into the middle

Isn't F3 one of those whaddayacall'em stones? Light? Is that the word? ;-)

More seriously, I think white may still consider the right side stones either light or strong enough right now. That said, if we attach on top of white's most recent move, or play another normal response, what's white's killer sequence?

I do think we need to respond locally, because taking the corner makes white really thick. I'm still like, unsure of what exactly white is accomplishing right now, though. If we attach on top, don't we become solid?

Tygem's SE, that I consider a better estimator, says White leads with 6.5.


Sorry for being obtuse but I'm not sure if this is a joke or not. :-|

More constructively, there seems to be some doubt about what white's strategy is. Playing light for the sake of playing light? Attacking for the sake of attacking? Pippen, could you provide us with your judgement of the board?

Black has 30 points of solid territory and potential on the bottom.
White will perhaps have 10(+komi) points of territory in the lower left quadrant and potential along the top.

Black is 6.2x thicker than white. 8-)

I'm not sure how to quantify my positional judgement but I guess white is 25 points behind already. (lost about 2h stone)

This kosumi surprised me. After considering it and seeing the reactions, it seems like a very strong and obvious(??) move.

In a game, I would certainly play as above but it would thicken white and take the bait of the stone on the right. Is it a big mistake?

White is just playing a wait-and-see-strategy, so far.

I don't see any reason to play "a", it makes the marked stone work again, I'm perfectly happy with the following sequence:

Is 'b' even worth considering? I'm for playing 'a' but don't want to doom us all. :twisted:

Do we block the outside or take the corner?

I like blocking the outside, seeing as white needs to add another move to take the corner, allowing us to target another weakness.

I think "a" is a bit aji-keshi. It induces him to fix his shape a bit. I have the same reaction with "b". Taking one of those two points is big, but white has so many weaknesses and we have sente, I want to do more than just play a big point.

My hierarchy of plays:

Did my opponent ignore an urgent move?
Do I need to play an urgent move?
Are there any big points?
