Unkx80: Old discussion (before page renaming) (2007-12-22 17:44) [#4191]

Buitenland : Could Build a Box Shape? be renamed to White is weak? I changed almost the entire content of the page and the title doesn't reflect the content anymore.

Dieter: In any case the content should be revised and linked to Build box shaped territories

unkx80: The title White is weak does not seem very informative...

Bill: Maybe the content could be moved to a Buitenland subpage.

Buitenland: The idea of White is weak is to be an advice page on playing a 9 stone handicap game as Black and as a continuation of Use Handicap Stones and Force White in to the Center. This advice has been very useful to me when playing high handicap games and my hope is that this advice could be useful for other beginners. I realise I'm quite new here at SL and a beginner at Go so maybe I didn't do things in the right way or made pages that are not up to SL standard. My intention was to regroup those 3 pages on a page about Advice on playing high handicap games as Black. I'm open for any suggestions for a better page title or any other suggestions/advice. No problem for me to move the content of these pages as subpages of Buitenland if this is found to be more appropriate.

Bill: I have also been thinking about such advice pages, which would help organize some existing pages and provide a framework for future pages. Maybe the page you suggest could be an index page, maybe it could have subpages for different handicaps, maybe we could have a path on playing handicap games as Black. In any of these cases the appropriate page name might be different. One thing to remember is that there will be different approaches to the question, and that there is no standard, monolithic way of playing handicap games. (There is also a great deal of pro material, which can provide references and examples.) The question of whether to put your own advice in a subpage of your home page is up to you. If you do, it could still be indexed or put on a path.
