Finishing a Pro Game 2
Difficulty: Advanced Keywords: EndGame, Tactics, Problem
Since Finishing a Pro Game was mostly neglected, apparently because the position was at the early chuban and therefore difficult to finish, I decided to find another position - this time the early yose, so that it might even be possible to finish the game. All the groups are more or less settled, but big points remain to be played. The position is from the second game of the 27th Judan match, played in 1988. Komi is 5.5. Black is Yamashiro Hiroshi 9p, white is Ishida Yoshio 9p. I don't know the result position myself, but I know that the game was close. Feel free to attempt. Black to play. --Dansc dnerra: I'd like to make a suggestion. Instead of us finishing the pro game, we should discuss the next move, and once the discussion has settled down, you show the pro move and continue the game a bit until the next interesting point. How about that, Dansc? Dansc: Sounds good to me. We may want to create additional pages for the moves in the future, though.
I have added a new diagramm after the pro move. The "finnishing a pro game" idea seem very interesting to me, so do we continue with the next white move? Klaus
Assuming that it might be at a (as suggested below), we should try to find an acceptable plan for black so rescue his two stones in the lower left. At least, we might find a way to use the aji. Maybe the last black move might be usefull for that too.
What about
I am inclined to play
Subsequently, there is a --unkx80
Dansc: This was the move Ishida played. It prevents white a, of course, which would be very big and might even threaten the life of the black group. Now white has got sente, though. I would expect white b now, see unkx80's diagram above. This is a copy of the living page "Finishing a Pro Game 2" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
