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)

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. 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."

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:

Articles:

https://m.baduk.or.kr/news/B01_view.asp?news_no=XXXX → https://www.baduk.or.kr/news/report_view.asp?news_no=XXXX

Player profiles:

https://m.baduk.or.kr/record/gisa_info.asp?PRPL_CODE=YYYYYYY → https://www.baduk.or.kr/record/player_view.asp?pkey=YYYYYYY

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).

I have found that links to the usual KBA site https://m.baduk.or.kr/ from here are broken for some time now. So I checked with https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/, and sure enough, it was:

“It's not just you! m.baduk.or.kr is down.”

I see; thank you!

You need to know about responsibility games. Those games in the table are the last games before the rank is promoted. For example, the 3rd round of the preliminary tournament of the 2nd Jincheng Professional Weiqi Open Tournament was the last game Qiu Yuran played as a 5p Go player (in group 26), and he rose to 6p after this game, "70" means his average scores reaching 70 (not less than 70 but less than 75), "responsibility game amount" means the amount of the responsibility games whose scores are calculated to get the average scores, and there are 23 responsibility games whose scores are calculated, which he played as a 5p player. Although he needed 24 responsibility games by rights, his average score could have reached 70 even if he had lost the 24th one, and that's why he only needed 23. The total amount of responsibility games can be larger than the amount mentioned above. For example, Qiu Yuran played 29 responsibility games as a 4p Go player. I think there can be a program to calculate the biggest average score when the responsibility game amount needed is guaranteed, but I don't really know its whole operating mechanism.

The text above the table mentions that things are often different in the corner; and there's nothing saying the table is an exhaustive list - even though it does seem to aim to be close to one. So I don't think it's really necessary to add it. (Also, I don't feel this table is particularly useful or easy to read either...)

However if you feel strongly about it then do feel free to add it.
