At the last live tournament I met a guy who always opens with chinese opening when black. Sice then I've noticed many people using it and I find it very interesting, so lets try it
A lot of thinking time supports this opening I believe. If my opponent denies it, I'll be even more happy.

It might be nice (for the audience) to mark the latest move with its number, like
, instead of just

You are probably right, I edited it. I'm new to that stuff

And so another game begins. Let's see where the path goes this time. It's way to early to predict anything. And it's hard to do so as
this early on since my moves will ultimately be decided by
's opening.

I can see
playing several moves now. I'm hoping that it's not the Chinese Opening, but we'll see. That opening seems to be very popular these days, and I'm terrible against it. However, that's why I'm trying
. I think it might be quite beneficial if that's the case. If he plays elsewhere, this is still beneficial for me. I could see C5 or something like that, too. Either way,
's next move will determine the direction the course of my game. Can't wait!

Still going with my plan. Next white's move will be quite difficult. I'm actually giving initiative to my opponent and looking forward to his move. Not that usual in go.
I'm looking for an early fight.

Afterthoughts
Now I kind of regret my last move. I would be happier with an approach to
Now I believe my opponent should play calmly with shimari and switch initiative back to me
In this case I will probably play like this.
