89. Koroviev (12k) vs Mnemonic (11k)

Koroviev · Post by **Koroviev** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 1:50 pm

Mnemonic and I will play an even game. 6.5 komi, territory scoring, no joseki databases, comments hidden to players.

Nigiri: Mnenomic will guess odd or even, then look inside my hide tag to see who takes black.

Hopefully the other weaker players will enjoy watching our game, and the stronger players can offer some kind advice - for after the game of course. :mrgreen:

For clarity, prisoners are displayed like this: if black captures one stone, the score reads "B: 1, W: 0"

Good luck Mnemonic, and enjoy the game. Let battle commence. :rambo:

EDIT: Spelled my opponent's name wrong - most disrespectful. :oops:

Ok, I'm feeling lucky: I'm guessing odd.

Edit:
Ok, so I'm white. I'm ok with that.
Anyways, good luck and have fun.

A quick introduction for those who care (I guess you can read this too, Koroviev)

Unlucky.

I will take black.

Hmm, his stone in the bottom left is an uncommon one (in my experience at least), but it doesn't concern me too much. Still, I'll put off dealing with it by approaching the upper left first :mrgreen:

I'm not sure if an approach on the 4th line would be more consistent with my 4-4 stone than the 3rd line approach I've chosen - but I'm more comfortable with the latter.

If he then extends from 6, I will approach the lower left from above.

Hm, ok. So he approached the other corner. I don't know if that is the best move because if we play this simple variation ...

I get Sente. I'm not in a hurry to enclose the hoshi stone because it needs a further 2 moves to secure the corner so he could have saved this exchange for later and invade my 3-5.
I almost played C13, but I didn't like this result.

My wall is facing the wrong direction and I would have to come back and play a or he would have a lot of forcing moves in the area.
If this was a tournament game I would just play C14, take sente and approach the bottom right. But if I'm to learn something I'll have to step out of my comfort zone and going for a counter attack. Because of my 3-5 stone the bottom side is the most interesting so I'm going there first. I'm not too afraid of a double approach to my top left, though I don't think I could tenuki again after that.
I wonder if this will turn out to be the game losing move :-?

At least I think he wasn’t expecting this.

Koroviev · Post by **Koroviev** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 8:42 am

The good thing about having to record my thoughts with each move is that I am forced to actually have some thoughts. This is not necessarily the norm for me. :-?

Considered the pincer, but don't think my position is strong enough. As I understand it, an attacking move such as a pincer is best when you have some strength to continue the attack. I choose a simple extension instead, but on the 4th line with a view to later development, possibly after we return to the upper left. If I get something like the below, I would be reasonably happy I think.

Edit: On second thoughts, perhaps 4 above would be bad, as White could pincer my weak group around 6? Though White himself is perhaps not strong enough up there...

My Options are: Play out the lower right and let him get sente to double approach the upper left. (That just seems bad) Or start playing the upper left again hoping he will give me sente. Of course this allows him to pincer my O3 and gain a position on the lower side (The one my 3-5 is pointing at: not good) My third option is to start something complicated by playing at a, but I have no Idea where this will lead.

Ok, I think I got something. It's not pretty but I got myself to blame for that. The 3-5 point hat two enclosures. a is the normal 3-4 point and its direction of play is the left side in my example. The second one (b) leaves a weakness at the 33 point but its direction of play is toward the lower side.

To me that means that the two corners are (sort of) miai. If I gain strength in one and lose it in the other I can freely choose which corner to support, depending on my choice of shimari.

I played low to reduce the aji. I have way too many weak spots on the board.

Black Move 5. Players should not read this until after the opening and well into the mid-game.
