Wu Ren Go 1

Herman: Build the bottom while removing aji.

kb: Resign. Any more moves, because of the slow rate of choosing moves (I am also at fault here), is just pedantic. I think a great deal of learning can come from a review *now* and not later, when those involved have moved on.

Anonymous: I think some commentary on R13 is in order. In retrospect it looks like a very good move, but was it?

unkx80: Obvious move...

ThorAvaTahr: Finish local shape

unkx80: Strengthen the Black group. I treat and as miai.

ThorAvaTahr: connect out!

unkx80: The last big move, in the opening sense.

kb: Move out, attach against the stronger side

unkx80: Hane.

kb: Extend - natural and thick.

unkx80: Extend - build a base.

kb: Block (joseki).

Herman: Strengthen left side while leaning.

ThorAvaTahr: Finishing the corner

unkx80: Play at the biggest area.

kb

unkx80: Crawl along.

kb: This must the the correct direction of play. Can White take advantage? This is a tough situation for any player, let alone amateurs ;)

unkx80: It's time to settle the group.

ThorAvaTahr: Defend against the peep.

unkx80: Continue settling the group.

ThorAvaTahr: Hane at the bottom of two?

unkx80: Continuation of the standard sequence.

kb: Only move again. Good shape inside your opponent's influence is necessary.

unkx80: Get ahead in the running fight.

ThorAvaTahr: Increasing the dimensionality of the white group (1D->2D) :) )

unkx80: Prevent the group from going home.

ThorAvaTahr: going home ;)

unkx80: White ignored the shoulder hit, so we turn that White stone into an armpit hit.

ThorAvaTahr: Get to the other side first :P (ok getting our head out )

unkx80: Now that and has done its job, it's time to approach the upper-left corner from the left side.

ThorAvaTahr: Reinforce the corner

unkx80: Prevent White from forming sanrensei on the left side.

kb: Invade Black's enclosure on the right - over-extended by one space.

unkx80: Prevents from making a base.

kb: The one-space jump is never bad

unkx80: The one-space jump is never bad.

kb: The one-space jump is never bad

unkx80: The one-space jump is never bad.

kb: After , the White stones are thin and need to be settled.

unkx80: Standard reply.

kb: Likewise

Herman: If both the strongest and the weakest team member suggest this move, it cannot possibly be bad! :-)

ThorAvaTahr: Multiple votes for so, here we go :)

unkx80: Two votes received for this move, and that's my preference too. =)

kb: Star point got the most votes.

unkx80: Since Herman is away, I think I'll be making moves for quite a while... until he comes back or some other captain joins the team.

ThorAvaTahr: Prevent black from making two shimaris (like kanzenryu said)

unkx80: Pincer cum extension.

kb: Flexible shape against a loose pincer.

unkx80: The common response.

kb: Take a common big point.
