Yes. I wrote Hanja but meant Hangul. I corrected the Hangul which was incorrect before.
KBA profile has 睦鎭碩.
19th KBS final was won by Mok Jinseok, I corrected it. Proof: Kifu of the final can be found online, for example gokifu.com
Jin instead of Chin is more usual I think Hanja is currently wrong. This is the correct one: 목진석
It happened again, at the top of Sand Box.
The linked web page is no more.
This page doesn’t include recent title winners. I was thinking of editing it but am a bit busy at the moment — just bringing attention to it in case anyone else wants to step in.
Now 9742 hits.
Thank you! Yes exactly, there are some outdated diagrams.
Let's have a look and edit where needed.
I can't get an activation email for making a new account. Is there an email I can contact about this?
Ah, now I see what you were trying to say. In context, it appeared as though the quote was supposed to explain why the pincer is not popular. But actually, you wanted to explain that pressing is now the most common response. Yes, I'm fine with your proposed text in that sense.
However, I think the page needs a more comprehensive revision: there's two other diagrams ear the top of the page with "common replies" and "other replies", and those diagrams are out of date (if they were ever correct in the first place). I might have a closer look on the weekend if I can find some time. And of course you're welcome to keep editing :-) Thanks also for adding the pro game examples.
Hi xela, this time I do not really understand your point.
It is true that the low pincer lost popularity at some point, before AI.
In the age of AI, pincers have generally lost popularity.
However, this particular pincer is still played, with new variations being developed. The pressing move is the most common answer nowadays.
Thus, maybe we can keep the text like this:
In Fuseki Revolution it is said: "Since the advent of AI, the view that a pressing move is always an effective answer to a pincer has been established". That is, in the age of AI, a would be the go-to move.
(where a is the knight's move press in response to the pincer)
I'm about to delete the following paragraph from the main page:
In Fuseki Revolution, Theme 20 - Why has the pincer lost popularity?, it is said: "Since the advent of AI, the view that a pressing move is always an effective answer to a pincer has been established". That is, in the age of AI, a would be the go-to move.
(where a is the knight's move press in response to the pincer)
As I understand it, this is about pincers in general. It explains why the 2-space high pincer, which was very popular immediately pre-AI, has almost disappeared from pro play, and similarly the 1-space low pincer. But the 2-space low pincer had fallen out of fashion much earlier.
Guys, could you send me a link to this book or tell me how to properly open it on GitHub? ( It opens, but not all pages load. ![[ext]](images/extlink.gif)
https://github.com/9x9go/superhuman ) Usually, pages from part 1 load, but from part 2 and part 3, no pages load. I would really appreciate it."
Shouldn't the second player get a chance to preemptively turn her move into a response to the opponent into the other game?
It wasn't just a matter of changing m.baduk to baduk. There were a few other code changes needed, but at least the article number remained the same:

Player profiles:

https://www.baduk.or.kr/record/player_view.asp?pkey=YYYYYYY
Although https://m.baduk.or.kr/ is down, https://baduk.or.kr/ works perfectly fine. In my mind, the "m" prefix in "m.baduk.or.kr" indicates a version of the site for mobiles, but these days it is possible to create webpages with a responsive design that renders well for both desktops and mobiles, so mobile-specific sites are increasingly becoming redundant. Of course, I agree that they could have done better by redirecting URLs under "m.baduk.or.kr" to the new home.
For some reason, I am not able to do a exact string search on SL using "m.baduk.or.kr", so I have no idea whether a URL that used to use "m.baduk.or.kr" can be mapped to "baduk.or.kr" or something else. Additionally I don't understand any Korean so I don't know how to navigate the KBA site.
Looks like they have a new site. Fortunately, for many broken links, there is a simple fix that keeps the old ID number. So copy-pasting the new site URL over the old fixed many KBA broken links all over the site. A responsible website admin would make sure that old links redirect to new ones, to avoid broken links galore on other sites linking to it (and presumably boosting SEO ranking).

does not help. White answers with 
and black cannot play at ``a`` because that would be self atari. So black still needs to play at ``b`` allowing white to win the capturing race with ``c``.
