NYSR Other Moves For W60

[Diagram]
Diag.: First

Lucky

First I also thought about W1 but black doesn't have to answer to W3 so he can play B4. W5 is still good but B6 means trouble for white.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Second

This W1 seems playable, different game.



Lucky: What move did you fear AvatarDJFlux? I wrote so short expecting some questions. So please help me doing a better comment.

AvatarDJFlux: Sorry, you're right, I should have specified better. Problem is I've been traveling for some conferences... I'm still away from home, but I have my PowerBook? with me, this time!
Well, I liked a lot the way of playing in your second diagram just above (the move I would have played), while the black move I feared was this one (or something to that effect...):

Diag.: Tough B move for 61?

DJ contd. True, as Dave stated (B61, let us see where W is going with this. B stays strong in the upper right and secures his territory there), the peaceful answer of B 61 at a is good enough, maybe there's no need to pick up a fight!

Diag.: Tough B move for 61?

Yes, B2 is possible. The problem is W3, W3 is good if W1 is meant as a reduction of a moyo, which is not the case here. Here white wans to strenghten her group (even if this means to sacrifice W1) and to keep an escape route to the center.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Another move

This W3 is more interesting in this position.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation 1

This way white got W6 and still has a cut at 'a'. With a move at 'b' white is alive.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation 2

If black plays B5 then W6 means a lot of trouble for him.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation 3

The cut B1 is another possibility. This is a confuse fight but white is happy as she more or less connected her two groups.

AvatarDJFlux Thx, Lucky, I've got the point!
