Attacking a two space extension
how should you attack a two space extension assuming it is very close to your thickness?

Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back!

Pick up the stone as quickly as possible before black calls the TD.

No general answer; that depends entirely on each unique board situation.standardtrickyness wrote:how should you attack a two space extension assuming it is very close to your thickness?
Probably a typo around "9", missing a co-ordinate letter?standardtrickyness wrote:what should white do if white plays 9 to make a base near whites thickness?
It's more helpful if you use a diagram or an SGF file.

Re: Attacking a two space extension
That picture looks like the wrong answer diagram for a fuseki problem.. Also, I don't know what you're talking about because your words seem to have no relation to the picture.

Re: Attacking a two space extension
well the source of the diagram isn't necessarily credible but it still doesn't answer how to attack a two space extension. (assuming you are very thick such as in the diagram. Assuming black makes a two space jump towards whites thickness how should white respond? (ie 1 and 2 are played) extending first from thickness doesn't seem like a good option.

Re: Attacking a two space extension
Here are some possible attacks on a two space extension(diagram from [sl=TwoSpaceExtension]senseis[/sl]):
Like has been said, it very much depends on the rest of the board, but you usually can't kill outright, even with a lot of thickness around.
