Post by Mark356 »

Don't get me wrong, I love moyo games, but I want to see more games where the fighting starts soon and doesn't let up. Games where the first 20 or 30 moves look like this:

[go]$$ Position at move 31. Is it just me, or does this look a little awkward?

Find games by Choi Cheolhan. Crazy complicated fighting with a focus on direct territory rather than influence seems to be his style.

actually his focus is not on direct territory.
from what i have seen his style is fight if possible.
his exceptionl reading skills make it possible for him to have that style.
he will find a answer to really complicated board position better than other professionals can.
manytimes it might look like an overplay he somehow manages to find a way to win.

summary: his unique style of playing is best described as a bully picking fights against weaker opponents.
