I even mumbled to Chew Terr at that point that I had just recently seen it
in a Malkovich game on L19!

Very cool! I hope it was ok for me to peek at this message! I don't know why it was hidden.
Cheers,

To save space and to have something for everybody to click.

Hah. Well, at least I know that high-level players don't mind this happening to them, so I guess it's not too bad.

I'm going to be gone for today, and may have little time for a few days starting tomorrow. Therefore, I'm going to post a trigger along with this move...

The way this works is that once you've decided on your move, you can check the hidden part below and if you played what I thought you'd play, I play the response I gave below.

And a continuation if you accept:

I'm torn between the move I want to make (a), and the move I think I should make (b). 'b' settles my group completely and is sente, according to Ishida. The cut at 'c' would be hard for white to manage. Indeed, given the black position above, perhaps even more so. But I don't want to let white get move along the top. Such a move, with his wide extension on the left (24), would threaten a big moyo. On the other hand, if I can cut at c, white would be left with a weak group sandwiched between two relatively strong groups. This also gives black a rock-solid corner. White took similar profit on the top right, so perhaps 'b' is a good move for maintaining balance of territory.

Looking at 'a', this would give me an extension, but I would be asking white to mobilize :ws:

, which I don't feel ready for yet, since white 'b' would deny me the corner and put my group at risk. Ok! 'b' must be my move.

Well for me, I'm using joseki that I have only read about :study:

, which may be increasing the complexity. But the cross-corner game makes fuseki pretty weird too. I cast all blame onto Sevis for that. ;-)

Posted: **Wed Aug 03, 2011 1:46 am**

I think it's fun.

And it's only been the same joseki twice so far.
