Don't Trade a Dollar for a Penny
Path: GoProverbs   · Prev: AvoidIppoji   · Next: ThereAreNoKoThreatsInTheOpening
   

I keep losing games because I make small incursions -- while I'm ahead -- into enemy territory, leaving large holes open in my structures. Then, once I've lost sente, my opponent will strike at these holes, and I will lose big fields of moku. I've gained some pennies, but lost many dollars.
