Playing style
Path: PleaseReviewMe   · Prev: NemesisOpponent   · Next: LowInvasionOfFourthLineThreeSpaceExtension
    Keywords: Question

Playing styles need two players to materialize on the board. I would also be very curious to what game style?s do materialize, and how they relate[1] to this list[2] here.

Tristan's page on dashn style led to the question. What styles are there? What schools? What is/was fashionable where/when? I could only find remarks here and there, and I am defenitely not qualified to answer it. So....

Styles and schools


[1] In the sense of this remark by Charles: When he (O Meien) was in a match against Cho Sonjin, it was said that the public didn't take to the pairing, for reasons of style (if you believe that). They're both 'messy' players, but O is seemingly more original.

[2] To start this I just compiled a list of aspects and style from professional players go styles. Actually I was looking for a list such as this one here when I found that one. As I am a beginner DDK myself, I would very much appreciate descriptions, the removal of doubles, addition of nuances and other modifications by more advanced deshi.
