BlueWyvern - I've got a bit of an odd question here. I was on KGS last night going over a pro game. I was somewhat nervous because there were like 10-15 people watching, all of whom were lower than I was, and even though I'd been looking at the game for about a week, I still doubt I'm qualified to comment on such a game. :-)
My problem comes from this position. There was one guest who was watching the whole game, then contended that "he had insight in this game, and that nowadays White would surely play a".
This is the result from the actual game. If you plug this position into the whole board, it has a very distinctive look to it. That I'm sure many of you will no doubt recognize.
I politely disagreed with this guest when he claimed that White would surely play this nowadays, thinking that with the hane of
HolIgor: Nowadays play at a is a fashionable variation, which does not mean that Dieter: We will never know whether he was truly 4p. What we do know is that, suppose he was, he didn't intend to teach you, because otherwise he would have backed up his opinion with arguments that make sense to someone of your rank. I'd say, get it off your mind. On the other hand, it is not because a position faces the center that it is something Takemiya would play and neither is its inverse true. There is much more to Takemiya than facing the centre, only I do not really know what. It doesn't deny us to adore central oriented strategies though, whether truly Takemiya or not.
Charles It could be a perfectly valid comment on what "they play", for example in Korea; and still, as Dieter says, not helpful on a teaching level. The joseki (at 4-4 point low approach high extension, slide, attachment) hasn't been used for this lower side formation, as far as my database knows.
