Andy: Maybe it's not too early for some analysis...?

[Diagram]
Moves 56 to 61  

B57 and B61 have been bothering me since they were played, but I've struggled to articulate why. They seem to make a kind of sense: white is looking for some sabaki, so black plays solidly to deny white these possibilities.


However, now I come across this problem below in Nagahara's Strategic Concepts of Go...

[Diagram]
SCoG: Problem 50  

SCoG: Black to play
In response to W1, Black plays keima with B2. Next, White tries to make sabaki by attaching at W3. How can Black utilize his thick wall to prevent White from carrying out his plans?

[Diagram]
SCoG: Problem 50 -- correct answer  

SCoG: Correct
The correct answer is for Black to play the keima of B1. This is the vital point for both players. Now there is no way for White to make sabaki or to escape. The sequence to B7 shows one variation.

[Diagram]
SCoG: Problem 50 -- incorrect answer  

SCoG: Incorrect
If Black descends with B1, white+square becomes kikashi and White immediately jumps to W2. Black will not be able to capture these White stones and so Black's wall is rendered useless. The lesson that should be learned from this example is that when one is strong in one part of the board, he should not become embroiled in a fight because his opponent will easily be able to make sabaki. In Correct, Black hit White's vital point of sabaki before he could execute his kikashi. Black, however, was able to do this because of his stable formation in this part of the board which rendered White's subsequent kikashi useless.

[Diagram]
Wu Ren Go 3 -- Moves 56 to 61  

Andy: So now I think I can articulate my misgivings over B57 and B61. By playing solidly this way within his sphere of influence, both W56 and W60 become kikashi and Black has been forced. I don't have any better moves to suggest for Black, but I feel better now being able to describe explicitly what only felt vaguely problematic before.


Any other comments or suggestions?
