HolIgor: The plan Honestly, when I looked through this game for the first time I thought that black was thrashed. White's group is alive, black's moyo was reduced, white's moyo expanded and white had komi. Black was in great need of sabaki.
Klaus: At first sight, I had the same feeling to: black is crushed! But let's count:
makeing a total of 5.5 (6.5) points! Black:
total: 30
Klaus: I am really bad at couting, but I tried my best, so please correct me if I am of the mark. Dieter: In my opinion, stating that the White group at the right is a burden and assign a negative value to it, overlaps with evaluating the lower right as sure Black territory. If White strengthens her group, the Black corner is invadable. Moreover, there are points in the White group at the upper left, but on the other hand I see more than 18 points in Black's top formation. All in all, I'd like to have White too. Klaus: I understand the fist part aubout overlapping, but what about the upper left?
The upper left was counted as three points for white. let's assume, black plays Dieter= Sorry, I overlooked you counted a bit for it.
Klaus: annyway, I would prever white too! Blacks arrangement is super solid, but to me it doesn't look like he is getting enough work out of his stones. However, black will probably show us amateurs how to use thickness! HolIgor: The most important question of the game is where the virtual black's group in the lower left would be. If black simply invades the corner, he may live in gote but white's thickness outside would be enough make a big moyo. What black would like is perhaps a long reducing dragon between the bottom and white's group in the middle. Therefore, a good option would be a kakari, but it has to be prepared yet. I think that these considerations determine the next several moves. They are a little bit strange from my weak point of view.
