Sente Punishes The Peep/ Discussion

Well... This page is a great idea and all... But isn't there a page or two already about peep handling? Maybe they should be combined in some way? I mean as a reader, it might get a bit confusing to try to get some info scattered accross? (Even if it's linked and all) And even if you don't think it's such a big deal, it just strikes me as a weird way to organise the info... Isn't it so? Reuven

Alex Weldon: Such is the nature of Sensei's... there's a lot of redundancy, because it takes a lot of effort to make sure that what you want to say hasn't already been said elsewhere.

Also, this is not quite the same as peep handling. Or rather, this is a specific case of peep handling. Connecting in sente to a peep is usually best, but connecting in good shape, for example, is often a different matter altogether. Then there's connecting with an endgame follow-up, connecting to prevent further kikashi, etc. And often these issues are contradictory; you might have a choice between a good shape connection and a seemingly bad shape one that's sente. Etc.

That said, you are right that if there are already pages about finding sente refutations to a peep, we should either combine this with them, or organise them together.

I'm a big fan of proverbs, personally. When I was a kyu player, I found that catchy-sounding phrases like "Don't go fishing while your house is on fire" stuck in my head and would spring to mind in relevant situations, forestalling me from playing an intuitive (to me, at the time) but wrong move that I might otherwise have played impulsively.

So, I would like to keep this page (or I wouldn't have created it in the first place), but maybe we could combine it with any other pages on the subject, and then divide it up into a proverb page and subpages for examples.

Maybe what we really need is a peep handling? path.

Bill: With a page called Santa punishes Bo Peep?

Sorry. ;-)

As soon as you tell us what "Bo" means in Japanese, we can then construct a "Bo Peep" page, with a game report of Santa [3d] attacking and reversing the apparent advantage. O

Bill: Well, Bo Peep carries a staff, right? (Close enough for gummint work.)

Bob Myers: The concept of trying to answer a peep in sente is useful to highlight and there's no problem with a page devoted to it, but I'd take minor issue with the title. Punish implies some combination of the initial peep being a mistake, and/or the result after the entire exchange being favorable to the answerer, since after all, he has sente! Neither assumption is necessarily correct, so a better page title would be the neutral Answering a peep in sente?.
