Teaching Game 67
PageType: OngoingGame     Keywords: Problem, Question, Proverb

This is a Teaching Game so please add generous comments. Anyone can a question or kibitz. It makes for a good learning experience (and nice reading material for others). Hopefully we see some dan level player with their kibitzes here as well

JoeSeki W54: It looks like you're trying to build lots of thickness to control the center. A few more moves are needed to perfect the moyo though, so let's make sure it stays imperfect in sente, while getting thickness myself. What about the lower right? Is it okay if you get another move? I think so. If I had gotten 'b' in instead of W52, then I could clearly say yes. I'm thinking W54 on the 4th line is for influence or running away, if it was the 3rd line it'd be for a base or taking territory. So it appears you are not interested in territory right now.

AvatarDJFlux B53: I've been wanting to make this move since I was thinking where to play B37...
I see it as a bit over-stretching with respect to the "normal" move at a (but if you want to progress you always have to put a little stress in your life...), nonetheless I think it is an interesting move: it should open lot of possibilities for B and W alike... ;-)
As I said before, I perceive the TL and the LS as Miai: the bottom is the place wher we both would like to play, isnt'it?

JoeSeki: W52 indeed it is. The best white can do (if B plays there) is a Ko, and it's just too large for white to lose. Black has many more ko threats than White does. The proper way to fight a ko is probably something we should both study! :)

unkx80: A small issue here: W52 can consider playing at b. It's a way to get a bit more profit while ensuring life. =)
JoeSeki: Good eye on that one. I saw it in the life and death problem but forgot all about it in the resumption (sp?) of the game. That's a big move.

AvatarDJFlux B51: Look, I think this move should be sente against your group on the LS, unless you want to be faced with a serious Ko there (with a hypnotic tone of voice: I order you to believe meee...).
I pondered for a long time whether to attack you directly at the vital point, but this is a more solid way of playing (it leaves you less Kodate's).
