I just played the normal handicap stones, because i am the weaker player and everything unorthodox should favour my opponent.
I want to keep it simple: keep connected, cut white in parts :lol: let's see how this works...
I'll explain my thought-process as necessary as i'll think it's necessary (this sentence is terrible, could anybody please give me a better idea?). When there are questions, ask me then i'll try to find a good answer. I'm already nervous about any hidden comments.

They are worth a lot, especially the fifth stone, as I can't really play for the center. I'll think I'll have to play super aggressive, but I need something to target first, so normal opening and aggressive middle game.

Beginner question:

Note: I’ve never played black in a handicap game less than 6 stones. In those games, I’ve always heard that responding at A or B below is too lax and black should be more aggressive. Does this hold true for 4 and 5-stone handicap games?

I've heard 2 theories on handicap games as black when you are approached and have 3-7 stones.

The first is that you should take advantage of your stones' influence to be aggressive. The best move is a one-space low pincer to try to force white to take the corner or else be run all over the board. If white takes the corner then you use your outside influence and invite white to try to steal the bottom from you. At that point, you attack.

The second is that you should play conservatively. Not afraid to fight your opponent, but also keeping things simple. In this case 'b' would be the correct move and you should try to play a normal game as if you have no handicap stones. The logic here is that as long as you don't make a big mistake your opponent will be unable to overcome your advantage.

Style exists even in handicap games.

I have read that with 8 or 9 stones (or when your opponent approaches on a side where you already have the third star point in a 6 or 7 stone game) you are supposed to kick the stone and force your opponent to make a narrow base while you claim the corner.

With :bc: in place, White doesn't have enough room for two eyes, so Black can hope to get more profit from attacking than from playing calmly at "a" (I think that playing at "a" is better than playing at "b," by the way, because of :bt:).

That said, Black is not obligated to play locally. Black has very good ways to tenuki on a large-handicap board. The most common way among professionals is to play here:

$$ X . . . . . X . . . |

The second most common way is this (an unexpected move, isn't it?):

$$ . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . . . . |
---------------------[/go]

The third most common way is the following ("a" instead of :b2: is almost as common):

For a lower handicap game, White won't have trouble getting eyespace for his stone. Because of this, Black would do better to either pincer (for instance at :b2:) or play "a" or "b":

For beginners and even at kyu levels, it's no problem to reply at (a) or (b).
It's your follow-ups that matter.
The moves and the mistakes that decide the game will come later -- they're not (a) or (b).

i don't want to allow a base too easily. that's not the "keep it simple" me, but the "cut white in pieces" me.
i think so early this IS still simple.

should all these hidden comments be directed at my first post? it's working: i'm nervous. and can't wait to see what they say.

in the past i played on the 3-3 instead of my :b4:. But this leads to white getting stronger while i struggle for life.
I was tempted to play at 3-3. At least i would have 5 more stones on the outside, but i don't think i should have to use it that way. I'll play normal, not afraid.

( For beginners. ) When W double approached :bc: with :w3:,
the 5-5 point (a) and the 3-3 point (b) can be considered Miai.
When B takes (a) with :b4:, (b) becomes very big for both B and W.

Allowing B to take both (a) and (b) is very good for B:

So Variation 1 above is a possible continuation from the real game at :b4:,
and the result is simple and good for B.

which is the wider side?
first i thought that both sides were equally wide because both sides have the 4-4s.
Now the difference is :b2:. i think when i strengthen the bottom side it is better because the right side has already some support.
Now with the board (first i didn't look at the board, just imagined it) i think it is definitely the right direction: when the white tries to live, :b2: is a kind of attack helping against :w1: and :w5:. Haha, nice.

This aside i think it is possible to tenuki here, but i don't understand why this should be better than to cut immidiately. (Often this doesn't leave enough option once one is commited, but at this point i don't see a better option)

Tenuki for B or for W? And when, exactly -- where is "here" ? Please show a diagram.
