Moves 29-30


HolIgor: B9. Black has definitely to do something to settle this group and the approach is reasonable. Another options would be limiting the white's corner group with a and turn to the centre with b. But as I undertand black was not sure if a was sente while b seems to attack quite a strong group.

Dave: Since Black decides to answer W10, it seems to me that B9 is a miscalculation? Since attaching at B1 in the next diagram has almost no impact on White, this seems like a loss to me. If Black attaches immediately at a what will White do?

Variation on 29


Dave If White plays from the outside, B3 looks severe to me. In reply to W4, B5 threatens the corner (see below), right? If White plays at B9 instead of W6, then after the block and connection Black at W6 will allow Black to turn against the center White stones.

HolIgor: B5 from the other side leaves less aji. Just kidding. But recently I am repriminding myself for losing some points in the situations like this when the main point is the same yet there is a small difference in points between two moves.

Dave: Hmmm... You may have a point there :-)

HolIgor: W10 was surprising. A solid move but on the second line?

Moves 31-38


HolIgor: W2 seems to be a clever move. If black makes a double kakari in the left top corner, he is asking for trouble with his top side group. White seems to capture the initiative.

HolIgor: B3. Black defends once more. It seems that he misread a lot by not pressing white down as Dave shown in the previous diagram. But recently I played a game in which my opponent made about 5 mistakes like this. I, certainly, won. But 10 points only. That is an indication of how I play.

HolIgor: W4 - W8. Since black is already strong here white tries to get the corner and prevent the counterattack. Interesting that this is considered more than the empty corner or a jump out in the lower right.

unkx80: Allowing Black to play the double approach at W8 looks severe.

DJ: Following Dave and HolIgor two comments above, here's two other diagrams from the Korean Baduk Monthly about possible

alternatives to Black 31 (played in the game at the marked point in the diagram below):

DJ: It seems to me the first diagram shows Black attacking the strong (?) white group, while in the second Black seems well settled. Did Black miss an opportunity here?
