Black to move, Komi 6.5, no prisoners



Estimated territory
Black
Top Left (B16) 16
Bottom Left (B3) 5
Top Right (S16) 21
Bottom Right(S3) 27

--------------------

Total 69

White
Middle Right (R9) 15
Top ( 4 lines 100%) 29
Lower Top Moyo ( ~50%) 50

----------------------

Total 69 + 6.5
White leads in points by komi.

My rule of thumb ( do you have a better one?) The upper 4 lines of the moyo are solidly Whites. The rest is open to invasion but fairly closed. So I give about half of the points to White.


  • What is the balance of power?
  • What is the balance of territory?
  • Who has the better position ( using the scale on PositionalJudgementQuestions )?
  • What should Blacks plan be?
  • What should Whites plan be?
