I'm not sure I understand :w6:. I thought we were too weak to invade it at this point, but it doesn't seem to be what Marcus thinks. I see no good way of continuing...

I think my move will have to be changed...but I don't see what Marcus' intention is.

Could you guys only label or mark the latest move? Its rather annoying have to look at the highest number to see the move has just been made.

Do other people have the same preference?

Yes, except in the obvious exception case of triggers, in which every move needs labelling.

I agree with Aphelion - it's very confusing seeing all those numbers on one diagram.

Black needs to be kept separated. Running fight ... begin!

Man, now I regret changing the previous move ... it doesn't look like Phelan is familiar with this fight ... I apologize to Violence, as he's most likely tearing his hair out watching our number of changes drop ... :(

I think in general, Big Brothers need to realize that its a better to accept an slightly inferior move that the little Brother understands the follow up to than a good move which doesn't communicate a clear message to Little Brother. The role of corrections is frequently to decisively change the tone of a game or as a safety parachute (or killing blow, as the case may be)

It can be a bit infuriating to new Big Brothers - who wants to sit by passively in their own game? The urge to be actively involved can be very strong.

Are you kidding me?

So since I can't communicate with Marcus directly, the only way I can stop him from correcting more moves is to make him start second guessing himself. I will do that by immediately making him doubt his own judgment, hopefully making his changes much more conservative.

I realize you feel you need to do this now, but do you think this will adversely affect the team as the game goes on? Also, is this the move you would have picked purely from a efficiency standpoint?

I hope that wasn't Violence's thought process in the other game... :/

I believe I already explained my rationale for this - our group is happily burrowed into the corner, W can only defend one of C8 and D4, C10 is pretty dispensable.

If this move gets changed, I assume it will be to E10. But one stone is aji, and there's no way that W can neutralize C10 completely by adding another stone. On the other hand, with Be10, Wc3, suddenly the situation is reversed - we have two weak groups and can only defend one.

I'm surprised Violence changed the move back. I sort of cringed when Marcus made that change, although I was still planning on going ahead with c3 as our follow-up. From my point of view, d9-c3-j3 is a much better sequence for W than e8-c3-j3, because B's follow-up is more constrained.

Aphelion:
It might make things worse later, but I need him to stop correcting things now. If he stops looking at why moves are bad and instead thinks about how the move can BECOME good, then he'll be in the spot I want him to be in.

And yes, the kosumi in fact is leaning on black's stones and makes them stronger, while this jump feels like the only move.

You can't connect under without taking quite some damage anyways, and it keeps white out of trouble.
