Fuseki Exercise 11 attempts
Keywords: Opening, Problem
Simplest answer (meaning that it's locally correct, but may not be optimal due to other parts of the board) is b, because the wall you get with Black b, White a, has a 'bigger' spacing from
Black's b + If White answers b or a, it is better to have played them before tenukiing. So in my mind the choice is between: Black b + White c and Black c White b. If White was willing to play Bb + Wc, then White should just have played White c.
So I expect:
Bill: With both extensions,
This line reveals a problem with pressing on the right side. The six space extension, As Charles points out below, which side to press on is far from obvious.
Bill: My point, Bob, is the comparison. When Black has a five space extension, another position where Black plays two step hane, White normally extends one point less. Charles has already shown us the normal continuation when Black presses on the other side in this position. White is more cramped then.
HolIgor:
Velobici:
Charles The odd thing is that the situation in the upper right is not clear, from the point of view of pro play: Black would block on the Velobici: Charles, could you explain your response more fully. At my level of play, it seems clear that blocking at b is the only way to go. Charles I'll start a separate discussion for this point at block on the wider side - discussion.
Vesa The first "expected" variation shows only the easiest 3-3 invasion joseki. Black can also choose to extend solidly with unkx80: It turns out that I have set a problem that opens up a number of interesting discussions which I have not really thought of myself. I will get back when I have more time. =) This is a copy of the living page "Fuseki Exercise 11 attempts" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
