Yes, very natural.I'm feeling overwhelmed
In that case, you can say, "play elsewhere" -- then, it's very clear.By "attack elsewhere" I meant "play in a different corner or side...
"attack" has a different meaning than what you meant.

Re: Jika vs Kirby
You don't have to understand anything now. By the end of this game you will understand a lot.Jika wrote:@ all:
Uh, wow!
I really like getting so much information, but right now I'm feeling overwhelmed.
I'm feeling pressure to understand your replies, which I don't (mostly).
You are a beginner. We expect you to make bad moves. You are not stupid. We will not think that your bad moves are stupid.I'm anxious to do something stupid as my next move, and everyone goes "Didn't she read my post?? I won't write again!".
Move first, ask questions later. (If you want to.) By the time this game is over you will understand what we have written today.I'm not sure if it is better (less confusing for me) to make a move, or try to understand all your posts first.
In go any reasonable move makes territory or threatens to do so (maybe much later). So we don't call plays attacking plays unless they threaten the opponent's stone or stones. Kirby's play,Please keep in mind that I'm not familiar with go lingo:
By "attack elsewhere" I meant "play in a different corner or side to threaten to make territory there".
, was just a play. Your play, 
, attacked . Not that you can immediately kill or capture it, but the threat is there to do so eventually.That is mainly psychological. Because you start off with a big lead, you should take the attitude that you are attacking (though some moves will be exceptions).I am attacking?? Oops. It felt like I was defending...
In this format, there is no need to upload a file, just edit the diagram to add a stone. As for go editors, I don't know about Chrome, but the ones I know about can be configured to keep track of the numbers automatically.I know how to make move numbers in the forum diagrams.
However, I want to try variants of our game in an editor, and Chrome Web Go Board seems to be the only one compatible with Eidogo.
However, whenever I place a new stone there, all the move numbers are deleted, which means I have to enter all of them again. Ideas?
But if I edit the diagram manually, there might be no need to upload?
The purpose of this game is pedagogical. We want you to learn.Jika wrote:@all: I'm in the dilemma what to do if posts contain ideas what my next good move might be (like crossing sector lines...)
While it is very helpful to see them, I don't want to copy suggestions, but I'm feeling bad if I don't (refusing good moves).
Advice how to deal with that?
Including Kirby. 
So if we give you ideas you can use, so much the better. Feel free. Don't worry. You are in no danger of winning this game. The Adkins Principle:

@Jika
Your play is excellent!
It is an attachment to 
.
It is actually better than the jump attachment to, because already threatens . If were not there, the jump attachment to would also be good, as well as your move. If all of your moves are this good, Kirby has no chance.

Re: Jika vs Kirby
Jika mentioned to me in PM that she was getting a little bit overwhelmed by the comments. I advised that there are pros and cons to reading the comments up front. The benefit is the information you get from the comments. The downside is that it can lead to doubting oneself. 
I'll leave it up to Jika as to which comments she chooses to read - so if you have something addressed to Jika, it may or may not be seen until the end of the game.

Re: Jika vs Kirby
@Kirby and all:
To clarify, as I mentioned to you all the comments are overwhelming in the way that I'm afraid I don't understand enough to do them justice.
But, as some of you said, I can see later if I understand more, so keep commenting please!!
My main problem is that once I've read the comments, especially Kirby's reasoning, I don't want to copy the good moves he expects or you are recommending because this feels like cheating.
I also assume I would not learn that much if playing moves I copy - I would learn good play, but not receive input regarding my own play.
So I'll try to find a way to not be influenced by the comments.
Maybe, I think Ed said so, plan my move first, and not change it, but read comments afterwards what move would have been advisable.
