the ways of go

Post by phillip1882 »

Balance: play in such a way that the strength of your stones are equal to or greater than your opponent.
Flow: feel the way your stones interact with each other.
Aggressive: attack as often as possible, try to force your opponent into
small living groups.
Defensive: form a big moyo and attack any invasion.
Passive: assume all opponent groups live, and try to play such a way that you form more than your opponent.
Flexible: able to switch strategies as the need arises.
Masterful: somewhere between Balance, Flexible, and Flow.

... the strength of your stones are is >= your opponent that of your opponent's
( strength & your opponent are apples & oranges; re-phrase )


( not quite what balance means... )
from:
i know i made myself an idiot, but what bettter way to learn?
...my obvious ignorance about even gravity and it's its affects effects.
( ... to polish )
