Alfa-beta pruning only cuts off unimportant branches. If you're missing something important you should tune your evaluation function!

i will try to teach the rhythm and flow in this thread.
white has some influence in the middle and can try to make some point off that by making a boundary. but i wont play such dull moves because it doesnt have any flow or rhythm.

i probed on left to bulid more threatening influence and now attacking the weak black group. if i can build some more influence and gain sente then i can make bigger boundary.
that is what we call rhythm and flow. it is like a beautiful music that resembles the flow of water (professionals might disagree but i think it was ok sequence).

reason why i put this thread:
i have seen toomany kyu level players who will simply make a boundary and make few points and satisfied. i wish they try to look for this flow i explained above. it will make you stonger faster. i hope it helps.

oh, i hate this. at first sight i was sure my stones were perfectly safe, but i am not fancy to prove it... white will block F5 and i will most likely have to jump to H8, everything other seems to end in hell and this also isnt something i would be proud of. i can feel now how my stones are heavy and ineffective, i feel i am not doing very well

This doesn't look good for black!
If :b6: at :w9: then white can capture the :bc: stone! I'm not sure if that is any better for black!

This doesn't look good for black!
If :b6: at :w9: then white can capture the :bc: stone! I'm not sure if that is any better for black!


My idea was rather to force a connection like this:

I have to admit, though, that the separation on the left side is only of temporary nature then.

I just thought that there has to be a better way than to run into White's central stones. I am not sure whether this is realistic, or even whether it is better than the game.
