Pro Yu Ch'ang-hyeok playing empty triangle

Post by SpongeBob »

Hi guys,

just found this game here between Ch'oe Kyu-pyeong 9p and Yu Ch'ang-hyeok 9p from 1999 when I studied the Chinese Fuseki.

I like the agressive pincer on move 7, but then have a look at move 15, which I found very surprising. He gets to turn and seal of white a few moves later, but still ... what do you think?

Missclick? =P
I find the whole sequence until move 19 not very promising for Black. But who am I to judge - in the end he won ^^ I don't like it because I build up a wall which needs two Gote moves to not become heavy. White gets the chance to take the initiative on the right.

An empty triangle is not always a bad move if there is a purpose for using it that cannot be replaced by any other move.

I have just gone back to the Korean Yearbook and found that both moves 15 and 19 were actually played one space to the right in the game. A corrected version will naturally appear in the GoGoD database.

Best wishes.

Since there were more moves incorrectly recorded, I have now corrected all of them and here is a clean version. This is probably another example of bad recording from the Internet.

Thanks!

I was obviously using the wrong database ;-)
