I'm really looking forwards to this game. I like Yithril's style of writing in the book of his I read, so I imagine the comments and diagrams will be useful. However, it's hard not to cheer for Kirby, as one of our own. It'll be interesting to watch, especially as Yithril is a self-proclaimed fighter/"push-and-cut junkie". Good luck for an enjoyable game, to both of you!

"So You Want to Play Go? Volume 3". I reviewed it in this thread:
viewtopic.php?p=8552#p8552 . I recommend it, and would appreciate hearing about volumes 1 and 2 if anyone has read them.

Josekis arising from

So, is this really such a good move for White? Or can it only work if Black gets tricked in some variation? Or is Kajiwara wrong, and White's move is in fact reasonable, even against a player of equal strength?

A somewhat unexpected move by yithril... I can't say that it's totally unexpected, because I have come to know this pattern as the "Loons pattern". That's because Loons played this against me a few weeks ago, and it was the first time I really experienced it.
I played the same move as I did just now in that game, and I think that moving out toward the center as
does is correct.
The alternative that comes to mind is descending downward, but I don't think that this works well with my large knight's move. For example, this seems too risky:
