Hi,
please review 2 games played against Korean 12k players

[EdLee]

Hi rfmvad,

Game 1.

He ignored your approach --
did you think about a double approach ( e.g. F4 ) ?

Bad habit. This exchange is good for B.
You fixed his weakness for him, forced him to make good shape,
and to live 100% !

Strange.

- This exchange is good for B.
Without this exchange, B's shape is thinner ( weakness at M17 );
after this exchange, B is stronger ( and W's corner weaker ).
( Similar, but not exactly the same, as - exchange ).

Game 1 move 136: Are you sure that the ladder did not work?

Game 1.

He ignored your and tenuki'd. Here's one follow-up variation:

First move -- attach:

$$W

$$ . . . . . . X . . |
$$ . . . . 1 X . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . . . |

Then...

Local result ( B ignored your ) --

$$ . . . . . O X . . |

[go]$$W :w2:
$$ . . . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . O O . . |

$$ . . O O O X X . . |
$$ . . O X X C X . . |
$$ . . . O X C X . . |
$$ . . . . . X . . . |
$$ -------------------[/go]

There are other variations after attach ;
this is a good basic sequence to learn.

Game 1.

I wonder about the turn N12...

Now if you continue to push this way, you hurt your own N13 group.

This is a pass, and a big mistake. Can you find a better local move ?

[rfmvad]

EdLee, thank you.

Game 1:
8 F4 sims like he will chase me and take a big ammount of points on the left side.
96 F17?

96 F17?

Very good; you're welcome.

No -- you double approach; you are pressuring his corner stone!
