Now, would white really want to answer :b4: at 'a'? If the aim is building a big moyo, I would rather go really big scale and play 'b' (or at least 'c', too lazy to read right now). And white already has the corner, which is not only big in territory, but also gives a lot of stability that could come in useful when dealing with an invasion.


Your comparison doesn't look right, the point is white will not play the 3-3 point.

I think this is quite an interesting position. I have been waiting to see what will happen in the right center. I think there is still some urgency there. Neither Black nor White has quite settled their group yet, so whoever moves out first has the potential to seize the initiative. As a result, I think that something like :w5: below is worth more than trying to continue at the top. What do you think?

Or, white would already have an even bigger moyo, and tenuki, taking the biggest point elsewhere (which might well be taking the corner :P). It's not that white gets to play :w3: for free, black gets to play :b4: in exchange, which is a pretty big territorial move.

The point of my second diagram was not that it might be a viable line of play. It's just for comparison. *If* white were to take the corner, in the continuation I'd rather have :w3: at another location. But whether I take the corner or sente doesn't really change my opinion on the moyo move ;)

I like black here. Black got the corner, the top side is pretty solid, and the white moyo is still wide open to reduction from several directions, and c6 is far from being captured. There is a semi-weak white group on the right, which might help black in reducing the moyo. Overall, black got a *lot* of solid territory, and white doesn't have much except the moyo. Perhaps I'm underestimating the potential of the white moyo here, but to me it doesn't look big enough...

I also don't like :w5: at :b6:, because :b6: at 'a' or :w5: would be very painful. That's the whole point. I don't like the :w3: :b4: exchange, because it gives black too much solid territory ;)

EDIT: Ninjad by stalkor, who in the meantime highlights one of the weak points in the moyo :batman:

Divide and conquer and all that. Actually, this is a seriously hard decision, and I'm not happy with either hane. The following is what I kinda expect:

Thing is, my corner isn't deliriously overjoyed now. At least his group isn't either. Crosscut seems dangerous for him:

But to be honest, I can't honestly see much of a continued threat against his group if he connects and jumps, and eventually I'll have to start thinking about my wall, so let's divide first!

Augghhh! I really really want to play as below ever since that position came on the board. Let white either make the ko for life or run with only one eye! Am I really the only one feeling this way?

Augghhh! I really really want to play as below ever since that position came on the board. Let white either make the ko for life or run with only one eye! Am I really the only one feeling this way?

Agree it's been sitting there since the beginning. But can Black make is stick when the center stones only come out to O11? Right now Black's right-side stones do not have two eyes either. I do not see how Black has clear prospects here. On the other hand, if Black jumps out again as part of reducing White's center... :mrgreen:

You're right of course! I was thinking there was a ko in there but yours is right out of the L&D books. :oops:
