We already have General opening principles. It is better to stuff that page with diagrams than creating a duplicate page.
Well when I searched to see if a similar page existed I searched under fuseki, not openings. Perhaps the two pages should at some time be merged in a WME, and one of the names setup as an alias of the other so the same things
In any event there is a large difference between the two pages. The second page mainly discusses the theoretical aspects of a position that a person needs to evalute a fuseki. The first page mainly discusses aspects of the mind set one should have when playing fuseki.
I suppose that's true, the page was created by thad to try and conceive his own guidelines for the opening though, perhaps that makes it slightly different. It probably is a better idea to integrate it I guess.
If one wants to make their own theories on a given subject, there seem to be three options as used by others on SL:
1) Add it to an existing page with a different heading - this seems best for smaller theories (comments), or proven ones (e.g. those from or in line with professional theories)
2) Create a subpage off your homepage for "your ideas" on a given topic
3) Create a page with a title unique to yourself, example DietersIdeasOnGoTheory? (in fact, these are probably preferable as subpages - #2 above). (LOL... didn't even notice that Dieter was the original poster on this forum topic)
There is a big misunderstanding here. The things that I wrote are not my theories, you will find them in almost any fuseki book. The books that don't contain it, don't contain it because it is too simple.
The reason I wrote the page is that I had seen some teaching of fuseki that was really wrong. The culmination was when one sdk was showing a ddk the Chinese opening. I asked "What should you expect when you play the Chinese opening. What is your plan?" He hemmed and hawed and admitted that he did not know. I then asked if it was a good idea to play an opening that you did not know what to expect of. His reply was that he did not play the Chinese fuseki. Sadly I did not think to ask why he was teaching an opening he did not understand.
So I thought that it would be a good idea to create a page that suggested people create a plan in the fuseki, and to guide people in judging whether their position was any good, and if a move helped advance their plan.
Since I can't remember everything, and since I don't know everything, I hope that other people add to the page ( that is the way a wiki is supposed to work ).
